Timelapse of Rockville Town Center Construction
Want to watch Town Center being constructed? Here's a timelapse view of the construction of Rockville Town Center over the past two years, based on photos from the RockNet Webcam, set up on the Victoria Condominiums in October 2004. Rocknet has now amassed hundreds of pictures on the server supporting the webcam, all of them a view of essentially the same place (though the camera occasionally gets shifted by wind or other unknown factors and has to be set back to its original position).
I've uploaded 112 of those pictures, kindly provided by Bob Ekman, who sorted through and batch color-corrected over 700 noontime photos from the camera. The set runs from October 2, 2004 through December 15, 2006 and is displayed in a Flash-based timelapse viewer (coded with ActionScript 2 and PHP, and you'll need the (free) Flash 7 player or higher to view it). Put on your hard hat and take a look.
