  1. What a beautiful video. It’s amazing how well they blend into each other, their features; like a current moving across the ocean… the only one I thought was missing was Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring”, which is one of my favourite works. But I guess you can’t have them all. ;) Thanks for the link, btw.

  2. I find this video blending fascinating and admit that I have watched it many times. You are right about the Vermeer. I do think it should have been included too.
