This video (set to The Album Leaf's "Outer Banks") is an absolutely gorgeous bit of time lapse photography, all shot around a cityscape I couldn't recognize. Watching it made me think
of this movie, which is another bit of ethereal time lapse urbanscape beauty, this time shot in a city I
did recognize (downtown Los Angeles & LAX initially, San Francisco later).
Direct download 480p version of second film here. Of course, watching the second film reminded me of this
previously posted third film (
Rivers of Light, by the Grass Collective) involving cityscapes(downtown L.A. again -
flash based preview here), this time in slow motion, and without audio. All links are quicktime, and HUGE, but highly recommended and very, very pretty.

With all this talk of wars in distant countries, it's easy to forget that there's exciting things going on just 300 million km from your back porch. NASA has provided 90 second videos of the first 90 sols of the
Spirit [5MB .mov] and
Opportunity rovers [5MB .mov].
