  • 2 of 3 | Late day high contrast with Lenticular cloud facing east

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of another clip. The Lenticular clouds are dominant in the sky. Many levels of moisture enable these strange eddies of air currents to be cloaked in visible water. The landscape (nearby mountains) is contributing to the formation of these less common clouds. High above the desert landscape, a sliver of blue-sky remains in the beyond, and Cirrus clouds are on the top layer.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 4 frames.
