wither in the light

The Playing With Time project shows you ordinary events at extraordinarily fast or slow speeds... landscapes and eyeblinks and pregnancies and explosions. I particularly like the ones where you can choose from a number of time scales: a second, a minute, and hour, a day, a month, a year... some of them even go further using simulations. There are also links to other cool sites, such as António Cidadão's time-lapse astronomical animations, one of which is shown below.



(btw the title of this post is a line from the Incredible String Band song 'Dear Old Battlefield', and the picture above was used without the permission of Mr. Cidadão because his contact info was not up to date. Mr. Cidadão, please contact me if you would like me to remove the picture.)
