By &#8220;cutting and pasting&#8221; these&nbsp;photos together, he creates a sort of time-lapse photo mosaic of each tree.

These black and white areas have an aged quality, making them feel even older than they may be in reality. Meanwhile, the color photos, of which there are only a few, inject flickers of life into each photo mosaic. The bright green moss from the newer photos shines through and attracts the eye away from the older, black and white areas of the photo mosaic.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"link-ages3\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picturemosaics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/trees4_mini.jpg\" alt=\"Noel Myers\u2019 mosaic art piece made from timelapse photos of a tree through changing seasons and life\" width=\"500\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.picturemosaics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/trees4_mini.jpg 507w, https:\/\/www.picturemosaics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/trees4_mini-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.picturemosaics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/trees4_mini-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/3.2.1\/jquery.min.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script>\nvar link = '[insert_php]echo get_page_link(); [\/insert_php]';\nvar listItems = $('#link-ages3');\nvar loc = window.location.href;\nvar url = loc.split(\"\/\");\nvar lastPart = url[url.length - 2];\nvar page = url[url.length - 3];\nif (lastPart == 'blog'|| ((page == 'page') && (lastPart == parseInt(lastPart, 10)))) {\n  listItems.attr('href', link);\n} else {\n  listItems.each(function(index, as) {\n    as.href = as.getElementsByTagName(\"img\")[0].src;\n  });\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\nPhotos from <a href=\"http:\/\/petapixel.com\/2012\/02\/22\/beautiful-mosaics-of-trees-photographed-across-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PetaPixel<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interesting combination of time-lapse photography and photo mosaic design, UK-based photographer Noel Myles creates remarkable works of art.
