Back before the astronomical value of the Swiss franc made long visits to Switzerland cost prohibitive, I was lucky enough to spend some quality time in glorious Helvetia. So, it will come as no surprise that I’m smitten by this stunning time-lapse video of Switzerland by night.

Helvetia’s Dream was created by Zurich-based photojournalist Alessandro Della Bella based on one to three hour exposures throughout Switzerland. You can see more and learn about the film’s development at the dedicated website.
