    Scene notes:

    Facing east at sunset on a mountain landscape, the fog appears to very slowly roil on the foot of the mountain in a lack of wind, and the camera moves perceptively on a dolly leftwards. The sky comprises a quarter of the frame and is a spectrum of reds to blues, brightening towards the right of the frame. The mountainous butte on the left of the frame is snow covered.

The very fine texture of a smaller cloud in particular, glowing in reds and pinks, lives shortly as the sun fades after it has already set. Juniper trees frame the mountains and span the vertical axis of the frame.
