Approximately half the frame is shadowed in a mountain’s shade, with desert plants in the foreground
meadow. The clouds flow off the ridge, and every air current can be seen on the outer edges of these
clouds, which run aground on the top-left of the frame, billowing, and crawling.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 22 frames.
… landscape below with Sierra Nevada range. On the Inyo range east of the Sierra Nevada, one sees
deep into the range to the west, countless peaks spanning north-south. A few at right are under
stratus clouds, but the large majority are Cirrus fibratus, dense enough to shade the landscape as
they pass over the snowy Bristlecone pine-filled hillsides and slopes, which are some of the oldest
trees.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 13 frames.
…Airport, SFO at night under rainy clouds. Continental traveling airplanes are seen landing over the
bay diagonally across the frame. The bright lights of a few are visible among the other city lights,
taxiing for takeoff or to their gates. In the bottom quarter of the frame the water moves, and
reflects the light of the clouds, illuminated in the city’s lighting. The lower stratus clouds bring
rain on the city across the water.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 18 frames.
The mountains of the Sierra Nevada range do not entirely catch the low moving clouds on them, which
are blowing and slightly billowing and casting shadows on the snowy peaks and cliffs. Below, the
peak-coloring of the Aspen grove stretches closer from left to right. With leaves of varying colors
from red (afar) to orange (middle ground) and greens with yellow (close). The age of the trees may
provide hints as to the varying colors.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
18 seconds and 4 frames.

… through a forest with clouds building above. A creek flows through a Colorado forest with a
butte-sized land feature in the background (right) showing between the opening of trees at the
river’s command. Clouds float and meander, building, above. The evergreen coniferous forest is just
behind the large creek crossing, which has stones and boulders throughout. The creek is rushing in
the sunlight after shadows from the clouds clear.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
25 seconds and 17 frames.
… from viewpoint of clouds slowly shifting shadows on forest. Nimbostratus clouds impose shadows upon
the wilderness scene intermittently. The foreground, a viewpoint ridge which the camera pans over, is
intricately detailed with yellow flowers and stone. The protected landscape beyond is a mix of hilly
forest and rocky land features of rugged terrain further away, with Mt Tallac visible in the
far-distant left.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
17 seconds and 6 frames.
