"Timelapse New York" captures the beauty of a busy city

(CBS) - Time-lapse videos can sometimes capture a certain aesthetic and beauty that makes you stop and stare in awe. Take a look at this beautiful video showing New York City in a way you've probably never seen it before.

Earlier this week we showed you a time-lapse look at the rural southwest, so it seemed only fitting to switch gears to the urban, concrete jungle that is New York City.

The video was posted by Vimeo user Tam Nguyen, who has written more about the creation of it on his website here. And if you'd like to check out more of Nguyen's work, you can visit his Vimeo page by clicking here.
