Hi! I'm Michael, a UK filmmaker who records silent walking tours and long hikes. Think of these videos as moving street photography.
I was inspired to create this channel after I began to think about places I remembered that no longer existed and that I struggled to find images of online. In the long term, I hope these videos serve a useful historical purpose as these places change so they don't simply disappear.
Content on this channel is mostly unedited and offered entirely without commentary so people can enjoy it at their own pace while they work or study, and so those who wish to see an area as it truly is can do so without things being cut out. However, edits are sometimes necessary to protect privacy or because of people talking to me (or shouting at me. It happens, but that's OK!)
Footage is shot on Panasonic GH5 and DJI Pocket 2. Please reach out if you are in a video and wish to be blurred out.

Christmas night walk in Dublin City | Irish Festive Lights on Grafton Street | 4K 60FPS
This video focuses on central Dublin over the Christmas season. This walk starts at the corner of Fade and Drury Streets, weaving through the night-time roads of Dublin and passing as many festive lights and decorations as we can on the way to Grafton Street.
I have wanted to film this video since I first visited in 2019, long before I even established this channel. I just think Dublin does December really well: the lights are tasteful, and draw out the understated beauty of Grafton Street. More than that, though, the atmosphere at Christmas is a lot less overwhelming than it is on Oxford Street in London - which is to say, you have enough space to walk and actually take in the vibes without being jostled.
This is likely to be my final video of the year, and, given how long I've wanted to record it, I'm pleased how it turned out. Thank you for your support in 2024 - and for your continued support in 2025, if you plan on sticking around. It has been a very difficult year personally, but it seems to be evening out now, and I think that it ended very well. I hope that next year things will remain consistent and I'll be able to get back to posting regularly.

Little Venice is the name given to the meeting point of Regent's Canal and the Grand Union Canal in west London. The person who came up with it is disputed, but it's most commonly attributed to Robert Browning, who lived in the area in the 1800s. What can't be disputed is the understated beauty of the marriage of blue waters, stone paths, and houseboats, and Little Venice has this in spades. Jo...

I'm a 61yr old Saffa. Been a Gooner since I was 14 (1978). If I do get over my flying paranoia, before I even visit Highbury and The Grove for some matches, Dial Square is prority no. 1. Woolwich is where it all began for the club. The history and architecture there is goosepimple stuff imo. The red and white brick work on that 1 structure is surely the inspiration for the Highbury West entrance. The cannons in abundance there would be an afternoon of reflection for me. A meal at the Guard House would top it off. An experience of Shakespearian proportions! Victoria Concordia Crescit. Dial Square you beauty! ❤
Sessions house at the beginning, straight out of Oliver Twist!
I literally have this video on repeat in the background at work, I was lucky enough to go there a couple of times as a kid, a lot has changed but it’s still very nostalgic.
These are my favorite types of comments. I'm really glad you liked it enough to put it on loop and I'm even more glad that you got some positive nostalgia from it!!
❤
beautiful video. i hav'nt been to val d'isere since 2008, i can't believe how much this side of it's changed. they've kept it very tasteful though. can't wait to go back
Yeah, I agree. It's not tacky or overdeveloped at all, especially compared to some resorts
matey; google algo suggested me this video; vary happy you posted it. miss macau so much. thank you. hope all well.
It's great to hear from you and I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get a chance to visit Macau again soon. Everything going great here - hope same is true for you
I love Hong Kong. Very nice place. Nice ppl. Save, clean. easy to live. Can go for hiking. Clean parks with turtles and fishes.
Loved this video. Thank You

I love this meditative walk through a space reclaimed by nature. If you provide more content like this, I will be watching.
nice video , brought back a lot of memories i used to walk this way everyday back in college
I'm going here next Feb, can't wait. Thanks for the walk around, hardly any La Daille content on youtube so this is great!
Thanks for your comment! I'm really glad you found it useful. It's very pretty, and I'm sure you'll have a great time. The bus is super frequent so there won't be any trouble getting to the lifts, and it's a bit more of a relaxed environment. Hope the powder's good when you make it up there!

I enjoyed seeing rare scenes that I rarely see where I live!! Thanks to you, I had a good time. I hope we can become good channels and good neighbors. Please share good videos with each other in the future!
I hope so too! Thank you for your comment.
Great video - such memories here back in 1990s when it was such a different 'town' - I miss Hong Kong so much!
Gorgeous autumn colours. Is this the south part of Parkland Walk? Where did you start and end this walk?
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I started at the north end of the nature reserve at the entrance on Holmesdale Road / by the Boogaloo Pub. It's right by Highgate Station. I ended it in Finsbury Park, which Parkland Walk basically runs into at the Oxford Road park gate. Hope that helps!
@@UrbanPathfinder Most helpful, thanks for replying!
Love the Ding Ding ride.
Thank you for your afford and the 4K 60fps high quality video(s). Off-topic: I'm a M43 system user also. I had E-M1X and recently I bought a second hand G9, but I only shoot stills. The 4K 60fps recording capability of GH5 is far better than expected 👍🏻
Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, I love M43, and the GH5 is really impressive. Body and lenses are both cheaper and lighter compared to full-frame competition, and unlimited video duration also makes these videos actually possible. I switched to the GH5S as no IBIS is a bit smoother with a gimbal (as this video demonstrates th-cam.com/video/6nkDqsT_STc/w-d-xo.html ), but I kept both of them because I like using it so much for stills. It is a very good value system.

Yes! We took some dried scallops home from Wan Chai. It's a same we can't bring home lap cheong though. The stuff here just isn't the same
Have never been to Macau so did not know how nice it is. Quite dazzling and colourful. Appreciate the share and have subscribed to your channel❤️🙏
Thank you for watching and subscribing! Yes, I felt similarly - Macau was always pretty close where I was based but I think it is unfairly written off as just casinos when actually there's so much to do and see that's completely separate from that. One of my favorite travel discoveries for sure

Thank you so much 🙂

HK is gorgeous
After 40+ years away from Hong Kong, it is quite different now. But the street names ring a bell. I used to take the route, bus or tram, from Kennedy Town to North Point years ago while in college. Good video.
Thank you! Yes, Hong Kong doesn't sit still. It's changed a lot even over the past few years and will probably keep changing. I hope to go back one day and do this one again to compare the two!
