    Scene notes:

    … steeped in clouds, crawling on its slopes. Rock face with rock fall, mixed with these river-shaped eroded areas called cirques, as well as the striations of comprise this mountain that starts as largely shadowed by low clouds. Bright areas of light on the slopes where the clouds break on a massive arête, far too steep for snow (late clip).

    Scene notes:

    Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The sandstone shapes are tufa shaped but are created by different processes. Pristine snow catches the light in brilliant ways as the sunlight dims periodically over the landscape intermittently from off-frame clouds.

    Scene notes:

    Under very light clouds, creeping up its slopes during fair-weather. Its peak becoming more obscured deep in the clouds, Mt Rainier is the subject of the frame, along with a Cumulus cloud that persistently grows. The shade from this cloud casts shadows on the many steep slopes below.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

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

    View with alternate video source

    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    25 seconds and 2 frames.
