A kaleidoscopic timelapse of Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and Los Angeles by photographer and filmmaker Michael Shainblum, who sez:

These clips were all processed from their original form, into the kaleidoscopic visuals that you see in this video. Many people visit these large cities every day, and all of these places have been shot and filmed, but I wanted to emulate these urban landscapes in a way that nobody has even seen before. I wanted to put man-made geometric shapes, mixed with elements of color and movement to create less of a structured video, and more of a plethora of visual stimulation.

Full screen and HD for best effect.

The second, taken last Saturday by the MESSENGER spacecraft orbiting Mercury – a mere 61 million miles away – shows us from the opposite direction.

Which is so not our good side.
