    Scene notes:

    From a point in Grand Canyon, the horizon may be level, but the land isn’t; this is owed to the nature of the geography of the surroundings of the National park. The bright object illuminating the landscape is not the sun, but the moon. A long exposure captures the light for a period of time to greatly intensify the brightness of the scene in comparison to the human eye. Smoke wafts in the canyon from a wildfire.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    32 seconds and 8 frames.
