Lone Atlas cedar on a green pasture, under pleasant and lightweight clouds slowly moving
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
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.

Arrowleaf Balsomroot on a meadow before red rock…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Rock formations under light midday clouds flowing overhead. Sandstone spires stand tall into the sky looking down from afar on yellow flowering Arrowleaf Balsomroot plants all around the foreground. The meadow comprises half the frame, and a hill rises green to change into the red ground and shrubs into formations of pure stone.

Vibrant alpenglow fades behind mountains of Jasper at sunset with snowy cliffs
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The mountain range is bathed in alpenglow, pink ambient lighting. High clouds provide the color, minutes after sunset in the winter. The mountain range is expansive in height and width, and is also defined by striated rock steps, cirques, flutings, fallen seracs, crags, long cornices, ice walls, and summits. The range at right has ice and snow fields as well as rock steps and an aret’e peak. The wide sky composes roughly two thirds of the frame.

Scene notes:
Panning to the right over a red rock canyon, with low clouds of low-density float and meandering overhead, shadows quickly passing through the canyon floor and the large white boulder in the foreground (near clip end).

Clouds with Sierra Nevada range appearing from haze on meadows in the day
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
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.

4 of 10 | Sierra Nevada Mountain range and midday clouds
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
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).

Behind some trees, Lake Tahoe and a pink sunset of Cirrus
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Even the snow of the foreground is pink from the ambient light of the clouds. A fiery canvas ablaze with the day’s last minutes, streaks of vibrant crimson and passionate pink ignite the western sky. Below, a tranquil expanse of water mirrors the celestial drama, reflecting hues of rose and lavender. Silhouetted pines stand sentinel along the snowy banks, their dark forms a stark contrast to the luminous horizon. Distant, snow-capped peaks fade into a soft, ethereal blue, a gentle boundary between earth and the incandescent heavens. The snow continues in the distant mountain Mt Tallac (far away and at right).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
27 seconds and 23 frames.
