Wide-angle view of Sierra Nevada and the deep blue-sky above, panning leftward over the shrublands
and dynamically shadowed landscape from clouds passing by at low, medium, and high altitude.

This Atlas tree was likely kept alive on this winery’s meadows for its beauty. A single branch has
been felled by recent wind. The low clouds in the sky are scattered gently throughout the sky.

An original, recently remastered time-lapse of the sky with clouds.

Clouds float by overhead and on mountains. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation
and position has been adjusted. A two second interval is used.

Shadows play across the desert and mountain landscape as the camera pans rightwards. Shadows from
these lower clouds that have moved overhead shift the light on the land. High clouds move onward
while the stratus layer hugging the mountainous peaks transform in time and the higher wind. The
higher north faces of these cliffsides are steeped in snow.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 8 frames.
Medium and lower-level clouds, as well as a small ‘scudding’ layer that is halfway up the mountain’s
slopes, transform all along this multicolored mountain and arid landscape of yellows, reds, and
whites of snow pack on eroded cliff faces and meltwater channels (center of frame at beginning of
clip).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
… sunset as blue surrounds gray forms. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and
position has been adjusted. Blue hour on the Sierras, with low clouds showing terrain (orographic)
effects of landscapes below, as air currents move in patters and are effected by changes of large
scale on the ground. Here, the Sierras end in what is called normal faulting, and this has an effect
on the clouds. The intricate movement is highlighted against a pristine blue dusk behind the
clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
43 seconds and 2 frames.
