Scene notes:
… reddish-tinged clouds from city lights as they pass by over. Demonstrating the power of city lights in the night sky, long exposures show the bright illumination of passing rain clouds. These clouds are too stable or short to create lightning, but can make massive precipitation, as is nearly every day in the summer in this part of the state of Florida. Their massive size is shadowed but easily seen in the upper-right. Helicopters or light airplanes are seen flying along the skyline’s altitude.

Scene notes:
… both directions and airplanes taking off in the night sky. A constant flow of traffic pours through both ways of the Golden Gate Bridge over the bay, which lightly reflects the lights of the bridge itself. Airplanes, passenger liners are seen taking off and veering to the right throughout in the sky at upper portion of the frame this cloudless evening. The lights of the radio towers on Twin Peaks just left of the right pillar on the bridge rise high, a few miles away. The bay appears to be pouring in water constantly on the top surface.

San Francisco street-view of downtown at night
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Looking down a side-street in mid-town San Francisco at a view of several large buildings including a sharply-pointed skyscraper called ‘Transamerica Pyramid’, an ominous looking building of office space and nearly 900 ft (300 m) tall. Busy city streets, with mid-2000s cars, cross paths, as traffic alternates turns moving with the traffic lights. This side street the observer looks down is dimly lit and mostly empty, a steep downward slope.
