If you know someone who says there’s nothing special about Phoenix, show them this. They’ll be forced to admit it’s an absolutely gorgeous city after watching Michael Heiland’s stunning video.

I was really impressed by the way Heiland was able to capture the feeling of this thriving, busy city. What’s doubly impressive is that this was made by a high school student. Yes, you read that correctly.

It’s true: Even someone still getting a report card can recognize what an amazing place Phoenix is.
