    Scene notes:

    Over sand dunes with shrublands on the right. The shadows of the nearby fog, passing on the ocean breeze, float by quickly as it unexpectedly comes in on return. The dunes don’t show a low amount of human impact- but a definite impact, nonetheless. The sky consists of the top seventh of the frame and is a mix of stratus layers under blue sky. The frame pans downward digitally from the sky.
