The overlook is illuminated by the sun over the Utah desert. A one-third sky afternoon where mid-level
clouds cut shadows onto the afternoon light. The desert landscape is vast and shadowed, but the horizon
is brightly lit.

A desert scene in Canyonlands National Park, Needles district. Heavy clouds are overhead in this
late-afternoon scene, and the shadows go over the foreground. In the background, around four tenths of
the way up the frame, are the jagged needle-like formations this district is named after. The area
around the needles is hike-able after a road that is relatively inaccessible.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 3 frames.
A clip divided by an exposure adjustment. The storm (right)moves into view as the daylight wanes, and
the desert landscape with its red clay dims. In the distance three sharply pointed hills have eroded to
the point where one tiny peak stands out on each mound, rock piles evenly spread around from
crumbling.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 21 frames.
Canyonlands, Utah, near the Anticline Overlook, where a long rocky road leads to these sudden cliffs
and viewpoint. Far below at right, a canyon is completely shadowed. In the foreground, a three-sided
precipice of a rocky outcrop. The left frame has a sheer cliff face of several hundred meters, as it
slowly brightens.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 15 frames.
