Seeing Illinois state parks in regular time is pretty awesome. But there’s something special about this time lapse video: it allows you to see this natural beauty over a long period of time, but condensed down into not very long at all. This particular video was produced by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. You just have to see it to really appreciate how breathtaking our state is.

That’s pretty amazing, isn’t it? Now get out there and see it for yourself.
