    Scene notes:

    … Volcanic landscape with a fog layer just below in the medium distance. Small yellow flowers of the foreground on a volcanic landscape on Big Island, a cloud stratus layer floats just below one shrubland, a leading edge not far. Where the cloud is staved off, a hill, half-red from volcanic ash and soil, stands out.

    Scene notes:

    In the woods late afternoon. A large bundle of mature Yellowflag Iris in the breeze under the shifting tree shadows. A few small white flowers are also seen on the forest floor. Blue sky can be seen in between the forest trees. The evergreen trees are blown in a gentle wind, which is reflected in the movements of the shadows and plants of the foreground. Late in the clip, shadows have moved onto the blossoms.

  • Cropped horizon with lower cloud vividly just above moving overheard

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A small mountain formed on tectonic plate accretion that is the coastal range in Oregon, and a congestus cloud just above shows a nice angle of the cloud from side-on while high up on Mt June’s meadows, mid-afternoon. The cloud billows and transforms in a warm summer day, and when it suddenly meets a mass of dry air from the east vaklley side of the mountain, it disintegrates.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds.
