See all Show me
This was the last time I laid in the grass. My head closest to a tree, my feet pointing towards the river. Watching the leaves dance back and forth in the wind. Enjoying the cloudless blue sky. The warm sun burning up the cotton in the air.

We were still in Glacier Park, Montana. One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful places I've ever seen...

    ow mike, i like this. and music suggest me a river of stars in the stream of the sky. very poetic, guy. i felt i'd like to see a little longer this shooting light... if u permit me confess, it was a bit short for me. but i guess the proposal and see that is enough indeed.
    thnks mike, truely.

  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Sebastiao :) Thanks... I do love this song too. Although, since having seen 'Breakfast at Tiffanys' I get sad every-time I hear it...

    Well there's is another 3 minutes of this shot ;) but I didn't want to use the whole thing just yet.

    Wow from cigarette stinking Warsaw. I am unintentionally smoking now. You know how happy I'm about this, do you?
    Line I heard on a tram yesterday: "You don't live until you drink babe!". Some things don't change. I'll be moving on.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    You're smoking now :( Monica, no... that's no good.

    Was this line directed towards you? Or did you just overhear it and think... "that is retarded" :P

    I have heard this song every day now for the last three days...

    I can't remember the last time I heard it prior to that.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    That's crazy :) It's a good song though...
  • Alex Itin plus 1 year ago

    What a beautiful clip! Thanks for reminding us all to slow down and enjoy the beautiful simple things in life that makes living worthwhile! =)
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Cindy :) Thanks so much. I need to remind myself of that... it's been too long since I've just laid out in the grass.

    i love the cotton blowing in the wind.
    and the pretty blue that is eminating from the sky.
    it's a very romantic shot.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Alyss :) That's my favorite part... I wish that happened more often where I live... seems like a dream when cotton does that.

    Thanks!
  • Alyss Black 1 year ago
    i think so, too. :}

    This is stunning, Mike. What are you shooting with, and who's writing your score?
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Jonny :) Thanks so much. that is a really nice comment. This was shot with a Fx1 and an SGPro... I can't remember what lens was on it at the time... maybe our 300 zoom.

    No one is doing our score at the moment :) don't know if that's something Amanda and I looking for... this song is just an old Henry Mancini song... I love it.

    agree with Pirata718, it almost sends you to sleep..nice and relaxing.. can't wait to see more..
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    It's a fine line between cutting a movie that is suppose to relax people, and hoping they don't fall asleep on you ;)

    Thanks for the comment Phil :)

    for some reason i thought you shot this from under the water looking up.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Sox :) Yea... the little floaty things kinda look like they're on the surface of water...

    so relaxing, I've been very busy lately and this reminds me that there's also peace sometimes :).
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Gerardo :) There is always peace... it's just a trick of letting those observations in when you're running around...

    Nice!! I need a nap now! I visited Glacier eons ago. Pictures doesn't do it justice. Video comes close.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Ashley :) Oh yea, did you get to spend a lot of time there? I agree - nothing can do it justice... it's a strange place... doesn't' really feel like you're awake when you're there. Everything seems to beautiful and massive to be real :P
  • Ashley Harrison 1 year ago
    I spent a week there. Unfortunately it was as a young teenager who couldn't truly appreciate it. I have a picture with me face to face (within 10 feet) of a mountain goat. Crazy!

    Wow that was beautiful...it brought me to tears that song was one of Dad's favorite. it's funny after 8 years you would think it would get easier but something so simple as your teaser has me bawling and missing him again.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Mom :) I didn't know this was one of Grandpa's favorite songs, I love this song... *hug* :(
