… by city light under stars, aircraft flying over Observable are high Cirrus clouds passing out of
the sky’s starry night. Land sky traffic is visible above Lake Tahoe City on the opposite end of the
lake. Taken by the northwest of the lake with cedars making a silhouette (left).

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.

Lake Tahoe in the distance is seen through trees as the dusk sets in and the upper-level clouds turn
from pink to being illuminated by city lights. The snowy foreground shadowed; airplanes are seen far
in the sky moving through the frame. Stars come out after blue hour. On the one road visible, traffic
moves quickly, and a ship is seen moving from afar.

… rolling cumuliform clouds into beyond. The clouds far below show signs of weak convection. The
volcanic landscape is silhouetted, sloping slightly for a distance before dropping off. The stratus
layer below flows slowly towards the right, while the lifting air currents run counter for their
cycle above the layer below.

Oranges like Tacao and Harvest Gold turn into Purples like Ferra as the sunsets, and the fog appears
to move like a liquid solid – while being entirely vapor.

A single ridge of fog bisects this stratus layer of fog beyond with no foreground. Cloud-fog the
color of Butterscotch on their tops where the hits them, and pouring steadily towards the left, as if
it’s a river about to turn into a drop and become a waterfall.

Just around sunset when the light is most orange, the lone atlas cedar is midway to the fog, which
seems to be rising just behind these trees. There is a wide vista of bright fog stretching miles out,
and the hill that spans the valley below creates a shadow on the fog further away, miles out. It’s
quite windy, apparent from the speed of the water vapor just beyond.
