In a whirl of spanning landscapes the City Rising by Tom Ryaboi video portrays the [Canadian City](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cn-tower-renovation) in a blurry haze of beauty.

The photographer states that the inspired footage takes dedication to create, as [time-lapse art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photojourney) is often laborious to create. Ryaboi is fascinated by the "relationship between the cold glass, steel and concrete below." This passion for imagery has translated into a [visually striking time lapse video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velocity-lapse) that captures the city of Toronto's skyscrapers, traffic and urban peaks of beauty.

Bringing an entirely new perspective to the urbane center, this video showcases mesmerizing pictorials that are seamlessly put together. The City Rising by Tom Ryaboi video features the song 'Journey to the Line' by Hans Zimmer.
