‘Congestus’ clouds high above in the sky, towering as their namesake suggests, orderly in their
column of travel. They cover roughly two thirds to three quarters of the frame throughout. A five
second interval is used.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 11 frames.
Mid-level clouds float over the point of view in the night, a starry sky above the mountains, which
strongly rise on the left. A glacier of packed, icy snow resides in a distant slope near-center. The
altostratus varies in its coverage of the sky; it ebbs and flows.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 28 frames.
The continuation of another clip. The camera position and exposure has been adjusted.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 1 frame.
On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as
the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera
physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.

The mountains of the Sierra Nevada range do not entirely catch the low moving clouds on them, which
are blowing and slightly billowing and casting shadows on the snowy peaks and cliffs. Below, the
peak-coloring of the Aspen grove stretches closer from left to right. With leaves of varying colors
from red (afar) to orange (middle ground) and greens with yellow (close). The age of the trees may
provide hints as to the varying colors.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
18 seconds and 4 frames.
The landscape is two-thirds of the frame, a forest of hills and ridges which extend into a vast
plain. The humid air allows the radiant intensity to glow on these lands, the vapor both absorbs and
emits some of the light in all directions. The sun moves lower into the dusk behind the horizon,
leaving Cirrus clouds illuminated red and pink from below, and then, night falls.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 14 frames.
