Here's a nice year-longtimelapse for the new year. You may prefer to watch it in high-def.

One technique I haven't seen before is the use of tone mapping to prepare each frame. Tone mapping is usually used to compress high dynamic range images so that they can be displayed on a standard computer monitor. You can't show the the absolute brightnesses in an HDR image, but through tone mapping you can preserve the relative brightnesses.

For timelapse purposes, what tone mapping does is hide some of the variation in lighting conditions between frames. This means that you don't get unpleasant flickering in the video when a dim, cloudy day is followed by a bright sunny day. Shadows still appear and disappear across frames, but this is a clever way to preserve the same overall brightness.
