  • 3 of 3 | Aurora Borealis are the Northern Lights

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. The continuation of another clip. High Cirrus, highlighted in red by normal light pollution from one of the most northern towns of Alberta, stand against the bright green of the northern lights. It is likely coincidence that makes the clouds and Aurora seem connected in some ways at parts of the sky. There is no ground horizon shown exempt for a small outline of trees in the bottom-right of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 27 frames.

  • On steep mountain cliff peaks, morning clouds grip…

    Scene notes:

    … the slopes and loiter on almost no wind. One may assume on first viewing a few seconds of watching the stratus is inevitably going to override the sky, but that does not happen; instead, the clouds are caught and created on the mountain peaks. Four snowy peaks, with one dominating the left quarter, in deep snow, are intermittently covered. The other three have sheer faces too steep for any snow to cling to. The light turns pinker as time moves on.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    22 seconds and 14 frames.

  • Over the boreal forest are the distant Northern Lights

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The view over sub-arctic woods at night. One of the last areas this far north with any significant light pollution (man-made light that has a significant impact on the darkness of the night), the Northern Lights are observable in the distant thermosphere, around 65 miles above the Earth. This clip contains the lowest amount of transforming aurora in the entire collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 65 frames.

  • Into dark, snow before three trees in foreground below clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A third of the frame consists of fresh snow. Young pines grow in the cold arctic environment. Overhead, the dusk sky has a mid-level of stratus that moves off to the right as blue hour occurs late in the clip. The sky begins mostly cloudy and ends mostly clear.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 20 frames.

  • Dusk-to-night over Boreal Forest into stars and distant Aurora on snowy woods

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The colors of sunset and blue hour facing the sky and tree line in a clearing, as day turns to night. The green glow of aurora is becoming visible on the unique tree line.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 20 frames.

  • Vibrant alpenglow fades behind mountains of Jasper at sunset with snowy cliffs

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The mountain range is bathed in alpenglow, pink ambient lighting. High clouds provide the color, minutes after sunset in the winter. The mountain range is expansive in height and width, and is also defined by striated rock steps, cirques, flutings, fallen seracs, crags, long cornices, ice walls, and summits. The range at right has ice and snow fields as well as rock steps and an aret’e peak. The wide sky composes roughly two thirds of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 19 frames.
