To start with, there are some fantastic images of Egypt in the 1920s by photographer, Jules Gervais-Courtellemont - these images were made by employing the  Autochrome method. Have a look!

Next up is this gorgeous series entitled Kusho by NY based photographer, Shinichi Maruyama.

The Kusho series consists of twenty-three large-scale color photographs that represent the interplay of black ink and water, both in midair and on white surfaces. The phenomenon that Maruyama captures-two liquids colliding the millisecond before they merge into gray-is the result of various actions and devices. The resultant images literally deconstruct the material elements of ink drawing and calligraphy, allowing us to see in extraordinary detail chemical and physical processes invisible to the naked eye.

Next, is this timelapse video by Vimeo user beepshow who uploaded a video of a timelapse sequence during a flight from San Francisco to Paris. The images were captured on a 5D mark II and a 16-35mm lens and were shot every 2-30 seconds over the flight time of 11 hours.
