Ominous Thunderstorm Rolling Across the Fields

This is a three-hour, high-quality recording of thunderstorms in the distance in the Slovakian countryside. The rest of the channel is loaded of similar (and similarly long) atmospheric videos: thunderstorms, blizzards, rain, wind & fog, winter storms, etc.

The most recent videos are prominently labeled “No AI” because there are so many AI-generated videos like these on YT that are just kinda lifeless and juiced with keywords to show up as related videos.

Are our algorithms hugging? I listen to Silent Field every morning while I read.

I love this kind of thing; it's enough to add some energy to the workspace without being distracting. I've been getting a lot of mileage lately out of binaural ocean waves.

I'm curious whether there are good VR versions of these nature scenes, where one can just linger in a peaceful place. If so, that might convince me to finally invest in a VR headset.

If you enjoy weather video,  may I introduce you to Mike Olbinski? He has a ton of weather timelapses set to great music, plus other weather-related things on YouTube.  He asks for subscriptions, but they're not mandatory for what seems to be the majority of the content

When I first saw HD television I thought that this was exactly what it was invented for. I wanted to point a camera at Kilimanjaro and stream it around the clock.
