Changing from day to night on the east flank of Mt Shasta, the clouds rapidly change and darken to
the night. The stars seem to spin around as the Earth rotates and the sky brightens to morning, light
once again on the snow.

clouds.

… and blue sky, facing east at sunset to Mt Shasta. Here a low-level cloud strand streak off the
summit, and mid-level altostratus clouds catch the colorful sunset light. The mountain (lower left)
is snow-covered and stands beyond a foothill of Manzanita bushes and shrubs, as well as distant
evergreen Conifers.

Sunset with pink clouds rapidly changes to blue hour and nighttime, a huge boulder field is
silhouetted on the sky, which has high clouds that evaporate in the night quickly.

The UAS ascends, and a nearby fog layer passes by. Mt Shasta is seen in the morning light stretching
out, it’s two peaks fully draped in a fresh winter snow. The morning sky is a bright blue color
against the peaks. There are a few distant high clouds. The unique perspective of the mountain is
simply not available from the ground.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 14 frames.
An orographically-formed cloud contained on the upper slopes of Mt Shasta, outer parts evaporating to
reveal it blanketing smoothly the peaks and peaet of the northern California mountain. The ancient
volcano is dormant and comprises two thirds of the frame: the blue-sky above.
