That’s “zzzz” and not “baum chicka bam bam.” Long-exposure is used to capture the couples’ movements, which, set in front of black sheets in soft candlelight, creates a very phantasmic effect. Intrigued by […]
Having stitched together over 9500 images, Google Street View team set live today their 75 mile, 360-degree documented hike down two main trails at Grand Canyon Nation Park (address is approximate).
