We can't say we're bored with standard time-lapse videos, but layer-lapse videos are an extremely impressive form of the craft.

Using Einstein's theory of relativity as inspiration, photographer Julian Tryba created a stunning time-lapse of the beautiful city of Boston by assigning different regions and objects to separate points in time.

"Each of these clocks may start at any point in time, and tick at any rate," he writes on Vimeo. "The result is a visual time dilation effect known as layer-lapse."

The layer-lapse captures iconic views of the city as night and day are mashed into one scene, creating an amazing effect we hope more photographers replicate in the future.
