    Scene notes:

    … the slopes and loiter on almost no wind. One may assume on first viewing a few seconds of watching the stratus is inevitably going to override the sky, but that does not happen; instead, the clouds are caught and created on the mountain peaks. Four snowy peaks, with one dominating the left quarter, in deep snow, are intermittently covered. The other three have sheer faces too steep for any snow to cling to. The light turns pinker as time moves on.

    Scene notes:

    … level with low wind, transformation. Once an active volcano, this profile captures its dome shape that is prominent from this green meadow. These gentle slopes seem like the only way to traverse the top without technical gear. This morning sky has no clouds. A three second interval is used. The meadow is around one quarter of the frame, and a tree line has a variety of broadleaf and evergreens, while the mountain itself looks solid green from trees. A stable blanket of ground-fog moves left-right, slowly meandering, with a few fragments closer and higher in the frame.

  • Above Sierra range, clouds expand as the dusk darkens the sky upwards

    Scene notes:

    The deep dark of the ‘blue hour’ that comes after sunset, with just a few spots of cloud catching glowing pink light, but the clouds continue moving in complex patterns. The mountains are having a definite effect.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Tide-like late dawn fog with trees separating blankets on hillsides

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Sectioned by four ridges of hills, forests, fog flows into the empty areas. There is a definite liquid-like quality to the fog’s movement. Visibility is very clear, and the distant coast range is visible. Beyond that, the ocean, from where this fog came.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Shapeshifting fog just below with upper-level clouds illuminated at sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Sandwiched between layers of clouds, where just below, the sun shines on stratus fog vividly at sunset, creating these pink wave crests of the fog, steadily moving and shifting on a wind. Far beyond, an Altostratus layer filters out a little light, but closer above, the stratus layer has its lower surface is made golden by the sun’s glow. From reddish to pink, the sky majestically plays into dusk.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Few scattered clouds over Grand Teton and alpine pond

    Scene notes:

    Classic ‘arete’ shaped mountaintops above a conifer-surrounded lake, the three peaks in full sunlight with only a minimal cloud or two and barely two gentle breezes on the pristine, still water. Time-lapse length (at 30 fps): 5 seconds and 1 frame.
