These are The Kelpies, an impressive monument in The Helix, a land transformation project in Scotland. The two metal horse heads stand 98 feet high. This time-lapse video—created "over 60 days of stop-motion filming across 7 months"—show how they were built.
The Awesomerer found this impossibly mesmerizing time-lapse video taken in Tokyo’s Yurikamome train. It’s also the weirdest and trippiest time-lapse video I’ve ever seen. It’s called Hyperdrive, and it looks like they are traveling in the Millennium Falcon in Tron universe.
Colin Delehanty and Sheldon Neill recently hiked over 200 miles through Yosemite National Park with their backpacks filled mostly with camera gear. The effort was worth it based on the spectacular time lapse video they just uploaded to Vimeo.
Impressive time-lapse video of The Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, 2,600 acres of desolate desert where 5,000 military airplanes went to die. It makes me sad to look at them, but their decay is truly beautiful.
It’s not what its author intended but, after seeing Huelux, filmed in South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah, I want to see some spectacular time-lapse videos on huge storm systems.
Fans have been waiting for the first LEGO Simpsons set and now you can watch it being built. It’s an expensive set, so maybe this is the next best thing to owning it.
Mike, also known as “Bricks Nerd” got his hands on the LEGO Simpsons House and is sharing some videos of the set being constructed. This isn’t just a simple project either since this $200 set features 2,532 pieces in all. The speed-build video is about six minutes-long and there is also an 18-minute video that is basically a review of the set.
They are definitely worth watching if you are thinking about buying this set.

As far as behemoth man-made objects, few things are more dwarfing than a cruise ship. That’s why it’s so incredible to see such a thing in the process of being taken apart. This striking timelapse video, posted at FStoppers, shows off the entire process.
The San Pedro de Atacama region of Northern Chile is one of the prettiest and most desolated places in the planet. It also has the clearest and darkest sky on Earth. Nicholas Buer went there to take one of the most beautiful time lapses I’ve seen:
It’s usually one or the other. If you live in a big city, you forgo nature and stars in the sky. And if you live under the starry night sky, you’re out in the boonies far away from civilization. But what if you can have both?
It seems like every other day there is a new dreamy, stupifyingly beautiful timelapse video of some location around the globe. It’s a tried and true form for wowing us internet denizens, but rarely do we get to meet the people behind those thousands of shutter clicks.
