  • Silhouetted hill side by a city suburb at night

    Scene notes:

    What makes these scudding lower clouds so bright? Lights from nearby Walnut Creek impose their light from below on them, incandescent and brightest where the city itself is. The brightened clouds silhouette the trees of the hillside, as airplanes pass overhead rapidly. The sky has stars, and their number pales in comparison to the city lights in the landscape below on the lower-right of the frame. Now clip# NGT087.

    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.
