Video: Showing Off L.A.'s Spectacular September Sunsets
Photographer Chris Pritchard is working on a project showcasing Los Angeles, and to give us another tease of what's in store, he's released this clip showing time lapse footage of several recent sunsets over our fair city.
"This video features some of my favorite sunsets and day-to-night scenes, all shot in September 2012 (OK, one clip was shot on August 30), and all shot within the city of Los Angeles," explains Pritchard. "Ever since I first came to LA, I've noticed that we tend to get a lot of nice sunsets and great clouds in and around September."
Since we definitely have a thing for pretty pictures of pretty sunsets, we're biting.
Pritchard previously released a time lapse video showing L.A. in motion after midnight. He was also involved in a video showing the transportation of the space shuttle Endeavour from Los Angeles International Airport to the California Science Center.
