    Scene notes:

    …sets with Cirrus clouds moving overhead. Cirrus clouds, a thin layer of water 40,000 or so feet in the sky, pass quickly by with motion-blur due to the long exposure, which allows the illumination of the moon to be magnified on the desert vista below. Since it is so far below, the Canyonlands view stretches a vast distance, and the many stars of the night sky move as the Earth spins, and the moon with it, towards the horizon and out of the clouds.

    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.
