    Scene notes:

    Arches National Park. Rapid shadows gain in the desert sands among the massive monoliths that stand from fast erosive geologic periods. No clouds are seen. The distant mountains in the background at the end of the day.

    5 seconds, 16 frames.

  • Cloudless Canadian mountains in the late afternoon

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Losing light. Lots of negative space for design appreciation. These mountains are two of the 442 mountains named in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, and form Canada’s continental divide: the place where water flows to the west on the west into the Pacific on one side and to the east on the other side.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 10 frames.

  • Complex arches under high cirrus clouds

    Scene notes:

    High clouds fly silently overhead this unnamed arch complex in the park of the same name, Arches National Parks. At over 80 feet diameter, the sandstone is a testament to erosion.

  • Towering cumulus over Lake Tahoe Barker Pass area

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Convection is when a thunderstorm or cumulonimbus begins, which produces rain. So much cumuliform on such a larger cloud at left is indicative of one.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    21 seconds.

  • Clouds rise over Miami skyline in the afternoon 3 of 3

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Another similar scene to Day111A, an ocean view looking on the Miami skyline from the east. Groups of taller, late-afternoon clouds, tilting towards their direction of wind, as if italicized and colorful, dwarf the tallest buildings, which are reflected on the calm waters of the bay. A three second interval is used. The clouds’ lighter colors are Fawn to Lime Oak.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 18 frames.
