spent an entire year capturing the changing seasons from one window of his house in Oslo, Norway. The artist, hacker and all-around interesting fellow was using an old SLR set to capture one image every 30 minutes for the whole year (this was back in 2010). When the year was over he selected 3,888 images from the 16000 total (to match the 3888×2592 pixel resolution of his camera). Then he used a custom script to take the first line of pixels from the first image, the second line from the second image, and so on. In the resulting picture, we see January on the left and December on the right. The whole year arrayed in one-pixel-wide slices. Fantastic.

Solheim’s image shows us a striking thing about the seasons of his home in Oslo: it’s a very, very long winter. That’s clearly displayed by the narrow band of green and relatively wide snow patches on either end of the year. Just as easy to see are how short Spring and Autumn can be.
The images from Solheim’s fascinating experiment are ripe for remixing (and available to download and play with). Solheim kicked off the fun by creating his gorgeously morphing video “One Year in 40 Seconds”:
ITwitchToo on Reddit used a Python script and Solheim’s source imagery to create a rolling animation of the changing seasons. It’s almost like watching the earth breathing:
