Cool!

It reminds me of the slitscan special effects technique that was used to create the stargate sequence at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Conveniently available as a really cool iPhone app:

I'm a big fan of this because (a) it gives you a photo with a time dimension! and (b) it happens to be a similar technique to what some satellites use (a single row of pixels that sweeps across the sky) so it's cool to gain an intuition into how that works.
