Time lapse is cool!

timelapseWell, I wanted to do something creative, so I came up with this, and it turned out pretty well. I pointed my webcam to Rotterdam outside my window, and let the camera take one snapshot every minute. Later I stringed all the images together in a video, accompanied by music. I think the music is quite fitting with the transitions between day and night, and the motions of the clouds. It gives me goosebumps. It made me realize how short a day actually is, and how time can fly and pass you by.

I edited it a bit with Kino under Linux, and behold the result:
