    Scene notes:

    …slowly on Grand Canyon desert in the distance, approaching Ten rock layers are visible in this vista, with ‘the great uncomformity’ (which indicates a gap in the geologic records) clearly visible as a rock step at the feet of massive boulder fields, which comprise much of a rim-like edge to the Colorado below. Light cloud shadows travel over the walls and slopes of the canyon. length at 30 fps: 11 seconds and 21 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Medium and lower-level clouds, as well as a small ‘scudding’ layer that is halfway up the mountain’s slopes, transform all along this multicolored mountain and arid landscape of yellows, reds, and whites of snow pack on eroded cliff faces and meltwater channels (center of frame at beginning of clip).
