Have three minutes to spare today? This is well worth your time.

Mike Tokarz, a photographer and student at Wayne State University, put together this 3-minute timelapse video of the city of Detroit, called "Rebirth - a Timelapse of Detroit," with the intention of showcasing its rebirth "into a beautiful, vibrant city on the rise."

And wow, did he capture Detroit. The video features stunning, 4K-resolution views of the downtown Detroit skyline, Michigan Central Station, Ambassador Bridge, Wayne State, Hart Plaza and more.

"Shooting for this video took place over the course of around 2 years, with countless hours processing," Tokarz wrote in the video description. "The final product is made up of roughly 5,000 individual photographs, cut down from over 25,000 frames captured over the last two years.

"Gathering footage for this video showed me some of the incredible things that can be found in Detroit if you're willing to be patient and seek them out. From the views on top of the Penobscot Building, to the quiet serenity of Belle Isle and everything in between, I am proud to call Detroit my home."

Tokarz has also created timelapse videos of Isle Royale National Park and Michigan's wilderness.
