    Scene notes:

    The camera pans to the right. A larger aperture depth-of-field is shown. On the mountainsides, delicate clouds condense momentarily and evaporate as quickly, small and insignificant in size. Other low-level and some mid-level stratus clouds are also present. Shrubs with yellow flowers comprise much of the fore and middle ground.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds.
