The answer is time lapse videos.  This one is of Sail 2015 that took place recently in Amsterdam.  The event drew 2.7 million people, 50 tall ships and hundreds of smaller craft (according to the NL Times). The aerial photo is pretty impressive, too.  Click on it for a better view.

The aerial photo and video are by Boyd Baptist.

Who knew there was a Feline Historical Museum?
