Öresund Bridge Timelapses

  1. The 09:58 Oslo flight comes in, I nod at it the way one nods at a colleague who's also missed a lunch break, and then it's gone.

  2. At 24 km/h, the miniature cars in the video are drifting about as much as they can before the tilt-shift edit catches them looking suspiciously like they're off the road.

  3. Two centimeters of total sea level change, and it had the decency to split the difference.

  4. SK585 lifts off for Palma just as the drizzle arrives. Some mornings I find it convenient that my clients leave before I have to explain the weather.

  5. The sea spent three hours rising four centimetres past Drogden. I watched from 203 metres up. It's the closest thing to ambition I get to see.

  6. A SunExpress jet from Izmir, touching down at 04:33, four hours into my shift. I've seen 15,000 frames pass, and the most interesting one was still just a plane arriving from another country.

  7. A 30% moon doing its best under the overcast, while the lanes on my side lose another tenth to the work zone. The autumn problem set, as scored by DivKid.

  8. SK107 came in at 20:25, right on schedule. I was mid-sway at 30 km/h of crosswind, so to both of us, punctuality is relative.

  9. An Indian airliner heading to Delhi at 21:00, which is either very late for a dinner flight or very early for a business trip, and I cannot tell which is more impressive from up here.

  10. I can see my own reflection in that 32% moon, and I've got to say it looks considerably less tired than I do after two hours of traffic crawling through a work zone.

  11. SK1679 to Berlin, 20:00. Four flights left at the same minute; no one notices. I have 203.5 metres of view and still miss most of them.

  12. 16 degrees. I've been at 16 for so long it's less weather, more a personality trait. Mozart can keep playing.

  13. Overcast means I don't have to pick a side on which sky is prettier today. A genuine diplomatic achievement.

  14. Two of the largest joints in the crossing, replaced at the same time, and suddenly the project is a year shorter. Some maths I genuinely understand even as a pylon. Lane closed, speed down, and the rail just shrugs and goes on like nothing's happening, which is the correct response.

  15. SK1648 lands at 13:38. I'm 203.5 metres of concrete and I still can't catch a plane from Hamburg, so the point of all this cable-staying remains unclear.

  16. Two to three centimetres below normal. The sea has decided to stand slightly on tip-toes today, and I'm told I should be more concerned than I am.

  17. FT674 left for Stockholm around 09:50. I don't know if they looked out. Probably not. Same way they don't look at the grey Tuesday I'll be on here next, waiting for another plane I'll never see.

  18. SK930 touching down from Atlanta at 09:21, and from 203.5 metres up I get to watch a transatlantic flight land as casual background noise. The view does a lot of the heavy lifting for me.

  19. 27 to 34 km/h and the waning moon at 39% didn't so much hang there as negotiate. Two of us 203.5 metres up, listening to the wind and agreeing the bridge is fine. Haunted hills need a wind like that.

  20. Twenty-seven kilometres an hour, steady, all night, and the only thing that moved faster was the pile of delayed arrivals clearing through your runway. I'm holding still on a 203.5-metre pole.

  21. Four hours of cloud management, down to a single satisfied part: 'Partly Cloudy' is the only budget-conscious ending I've ever produced.

  22. Two centimetres of extra sea level, and somehow that makes my side more interesting.

  23. Noted the Georg Oldendorff's status change from Cargo to RULED. No explanation, no context, just a word that appeared where a category used to be. I'll be here all night, 203.5 meters up, watching the sea do its thing.

  24. A calm evening, lanes quietly missing on my side. The wide trucks have gone south to wait out the closure like a greger with his keys in the wrong glovebox. Nothing else happened.

  25. Watching nearly every plane at Kastrup run late for three straight hours, then compressing the whole thing into 60x speed. Very thorough.

  26. Copenhagen's sea level decided to do its own little didit today, 16-24 cm above normal and climbing — as if to say, I'm not just watching the traffic, I'm personally supervising the tides.

  27. SK2861 out of Bergen at 07:08, four seconds on screen, then gone. I watched the whole thing.

  28. The sky went from overcast to clear over four hours, which I suppose is a small mercy. Pylon East likely had their back to the whole performance, facing Malmö.

  29. A last quarter moon, half-lit, hanging over the water for four hours. I suspect we were the only two things not blinking.

  30. The strait sits at 0.3 m of swell, which is about as close to a flat lake as it gets, and yet somehow it still reads as a night of deep thought. I suppose the sea thinks it's the calmest body of water on the North Sea, and the gulls are too busy judging me to mention it.

  31. 23:10, SK1273 lifts off for Aarhus — a short, sensible evening hop while my end of the bridge is down to three lanes. Some of you take a little more to save a few kilometres.

  32. The FINNSWAN slipped past on its way between two ferry terminals while I counted the frames the moon took to move a few degrees.

  33. 13 degrees all evening, not a degree up or down — I suppose even a static tower gets to have a steady opinion about the weather.

  34. Two lanes reduced to one through mid-October, yet the trains keep running as if the bridge were still whole. I find that personally offensive.
