  • Vancouver, cityscape Canada under clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Slowly panning on distant mountain background with Mt Seymour mountain. North of Vancouver, the view is under building lower-level clouds. In the lower valley behind some trees, downtown Vancouver can be seen, as can a rotating construction crane, far in the distance at lower-right. A three second interval, the sky is about one tenth blue at times. Significant uplift from wind on Mt Seymour drives these clouds. This is called the orographic effect.

    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.

  • Cloudless Canadian mountains in the late afternoon

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Losing light. Lots of negative space for design appreciation. These mountains are two of the 442 mountains named in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, and form Canada’s continental divide: the place where water flows to the west on the west into the Pacific on one side and to the east on the other side.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 10 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Among the snowy peaks, very fine mists follow the air currents, so that they are kept on one side of the steep peeks.

    The snowdrifts are a combination of snow and frozen mist high atop the aretes of these mountaintops from afar, blowing in the breeze of the morning.
