    Scene notes:

    … through a forest with clouds building above. A creek flows through a Colorado forest with a butte-sized land feature in the background (right) showing between the opening of trees at the river’s command. Clouds float and meander, building, above. The evergreen coniferous forest is just behind the large creek crossing, which has stones and boulders throughout. The creek is rushing in the sunlight after shadows from the clouds clear.

  • 1 of 2 | Panning past icicles and moss in the forest where shadows move

    Scene notes:

    Similar to another clip in this scene, the camera is reset in another position. The overhang of moss and a hillside can be an ideal place for icicle formation, as this scene makes apparent. Very low or no wind makes the shade from tree limbs and twigs soft and stably moving across the ground in a predictable direction as the camera slowly pans to the right. Snow still exists in spots on the forest floor, adjacent to these large icicles, droplets visibly forming on their tips of them.

    Scene notes:

    These Yellowflag Iris flowers are an exemplar of their kind. Panning past this stone covered in lichen and moss, the flowers quiver in the spring breeze on this hilltop. The ground has the shade of a conifer tree trunk moving over the grass and stones.

  • Vividly illuminated by the sun which is backlighting a tree in the woods looking up

    Scene notes:

    This clip differs from other forest clips in the following ways: there is no ground horizon, and the frame digitally zooms slightly. Blue sky behind the evergreen trees of the morning woods is visible. The fog diminishes by clip’s end.

    Scene notes:

    Broad-leafed plant in the intentional foreground stands tall (right) among very long and finely details light rays (aka God rays) created by shadows from branches and tree trunks. The green forest floor (bottom-left) is brightly illuminated. The light shifts with the movement of the sun. The fog has variable density with time.
