Each year on May 1st most European countries celebrate May Day, which is the equivalent of Labor Day in the US. Bavarians decorate a tall pole with an evergreen wreath at the top. It's a grand effort and ceremony to raise it. Then they, well, dance around the maypole! Here's my timelapse video of just such an event near Munich, Germany.

Three timelapse videos shot with my GoPro from my apartment window in Bischberg near Bamberg, Germany. One has a sunrise sequence of the bakery across the street. Another has a sequence at sunset. The third video shows a snowfall of the same scene.
