The changing of the seasons is a surprisingly global phenomenon. Sure, they may not get snow at the equator, but if you ask someone in, say, Indonesia if they have seasons, they’ll tell you they have four: mango, coconut, banana, and rain.
This GIF is a little more varied, a little more familiar. It shows the changes of a stand of mixed temperate Norwegian forest throughout a calendar year. Deciduous trees yellow, drop their leaves, then burst into chlorophyll-enriched life as the nearby pine stands stoically by.
And hey! You can buy a T-shirt with all the frames! Definitely a Morning GIF first.
It comes to us via the b0wties are cool Tumblr, originating in a now-dead time-lapse video from Scandinavian technologist Eirik Solheim on Revver. (A moment of silence for Revver, original home of the Great Mentos and Diet Coke experiment, among other timeless videos.) On Tumblr, it’s gotten 125 notes, and on Revver, who knows how many ephemeral views.
That’s the Internet for you. Sic transit gloria HTML.

Puppy Startup Mogul Stays Humble Amid Success
Alonzo the puppy has been on a wild ride over the past year. After winning first prize at the TechCrunch 50 startup conference in 2011, Alonzo’s startup — a mobile service that offers rawhide bone delivery in San Francisco — scored a $1.5 million Series A investment around from top venture capitalists.
That led to features in Forbes, FastCompany and on numerous tech and canine lifestyle websites. A year later, the company is worth a reported $2 billion, is doing millions in sales each month and is raising another mega round of financing.
Alonzo is the toast of Silicon Valley, but according to friends, he has always stayed grounded.
“He never let his success go to his head,” said tech journalist Tony Wortheimer, who is working on a book about Alonzo’s rise to fame and fortune. ”He’s just a regular dude who happens to run a billion dollar company.”
