Ahh, YouTube. You never fail to turn up creative little homemade gems, and I love you for it.

Check out this really unusual “video” — it’s 1400 still images from a day at Quebec City’s winter carnival, spliced together to form a moving picture, without the use of any video capture technology!

Besides being a very cool medium, it also gives a great sense of the city and its world-famous festival.
