Photographer Alex Rivest has made a habit of creating beautiful timelapse films. Some are very popular, but others have been seen by only a handful of people. Here are some of my favorites from Rivest's collection; there are more on his Vimeo page.

Amsterdam

Scenes of life in Amsterdam, July 2011. My favorites are the water closeups.
