Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The sandstone shapes are tufa shaped but are created by different
processes. Pristine snow catches the light in brilliant ways as the sunlight dims periodically over
the landscape intermittently from off-frame clouds.

On an overlook at Bryce Canyon in winter. A low-level stratus layer slowly gives way to light.
Similar to another clip with more lighting, the snow begins to brighten near the end of the clip. The
lowlands glow in the sun’s radiant intensity. This means they both absorb some of the light and emit
it in all directions.

44 seconds and 2 frames.
The mountain range is bathed in alpenglow, pink ambient lighting. High clouds provide the color,
minutes after sunset in the winter. The mountain range is expansive in height and width, and is also
defined by striated rock steps, cirques, flutings, fallen seracs, crags, long cornices, ice walls,
and summits. The range at right has ice and snow fields as well as rock steps and an aret’e peak. The
wide sky composes roughly two thirds of the frame.

Winter on Crater Lake: the snow covering the landscape is fresh. The vast lake is not entirely in the
shadows of the clouds, as a break in the layer of thick low-level cover reveals light on the lake.
The turbulent winds blow on the water, making their marks on the surface as they travel, along with
the shadows. Blue sky patches are slowly covered by dawn clouds, which clearly precipitate on the
opposing side of the caldera, near Wizard Hat Island. The ridge that comprises the crater’s rim, a
drop of hundreds of feet, is a winter forest.

… 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.

A mostly clear dusk sky over the Inyo mountains lookout. The snow-covered ground is dotted with
Bristlecone pines. In the distance, a vast mountain range that is part of the Sierra Nevada. One
ridge and the furthest ridge create a ‘saddle’ mid-frame and may look like an unlevel horizon, but
such is nature and the wild. The sky is deep into ‘blue hour’.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
27 seconds.
A night over a rocky landscape, winter mountains under a small bank of clouds include Mt Whitney.
Very small, lower clouds rapidly roll in the sky in the upper frame with the stars in the blue
moonlight. Mt Whitney is shown as a snowy saw-toothed ridge in the distance.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
4 seconds and 21 frames.
