Scene notes:
…with city lights behind, aircraft taking off into the sky. An observer on the Marin Headlands sees much of the city from one view, where the bay enters the ocean in the other direction. Spanning the bay is the bridge, cars speeding along as they always do. As night falls, the lights glow reddish, the blues of blue hour change, and the airplanes take off in the sky, which comprises about a sixth of the frame. Ships are seen coming through the bridge and leaving, such as a tugboat escorting a cargo ship.

Scene notes:
… sunset as blue surrounds gray forms. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted. Blue hour on the Sierras, with low clouds showing terrain (orographic) effects of landscapes below, as air currents move in patters and are effected by changes of large scale on the ground. Here, the Sierras end in what is called normal faulting, and this has an effect on the clouds. The intricate movement is highlighted against a pristine blue dusk behind the clouds.

Scene notes:
After blue hour, mid-level clouds, patchy and fleeting, move in steadily in the moonlight, shadows dimly moving on rock faces near the bottom-right of the frame at points. Mt Whitney (center) and neighbors are silhouetted in the night, with nearer mountains that are shorter but much closer on the left and right flanks.

Panning on mountains in Banff at blue sunset facing eastward
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Digitally panning at blue hour on the mountains of Banff National Park in Canada. The sun lights up the lower-level clouds which ride the steady wind just above the snowy peaks and ridges. The Canadian Rockies are home to both Banff and Jasper parks, which are situated not far from each other geographically, and are both in the Alberta province.

Pink dusk Cirrus clouds above Lake Tahoe in winter as light fades
Scene notes:
Lake Tahoe in the distance is seen through trees as the dusk sets in and the upper-level clouds turn from pink to being illuminated by city lights. The snowy foreground shadowed; airplanes are seen far in the sky moving through the frame. Stars come out after blue hour. On the one road visible, traffic moves quickly, and a ship is seen moving from afar.

Scene notes:
Deep into blue hour, mountain peaks behind the point of view cast dark shadows deep into the pink, dusk sky. Facing a desert landscape which comprises an eighth of the frame, largely as a silhouette. The moon, full, is seen alone in space. A few low-level clouds in the distance.

Above Sierra range, clouds expand as the dusk darkens the sky upwards

Scene notes:
The deep dark of the ‘blue hour’ that comes after sunset, with just a few spots of cloud catching glowing pink light, but the clouds continue moving in complex patterns. The mountains are having a definite effect.
