Scene notes:
Cirrus clouds float undisturbed over aretḗ (French for this terrain feature which has no English counterpart) mountain peaks (center). The southern facing cliffs (right) are largely free of snow, while others still retain a great deal of it. Cornices shed fresh snow in high wind (middle peaks). The sky comprises a third of the frame, with the sun visible late clip.

Scene notes:
…clouds float by overhead and on mountains. White-trunked, orange and yellow Aspens are the dominant color shown in this grove that lives on the foothills of snowy mountains of the Sierras, which are steeped in low, fluffy clouds which move steadily through but also linger on the cliffs. The lower left third of the frame has shrubs and sagebrush.

10 of 10 | Sierra Nevada Mountain range and midday clouds
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The camera pans to the right. A larger aperture depth-of-field is shown. On the mountainsides, delicate clouds condense momentarily and evaporate as quickly, small and insignificant in size. Other low-level and some mid-level stratus clouds are also present. Shrubs with yellow flowers comprise much of the fore and middle ground.

Scene notes:
Left to right: El Capitan, a massive monolith that’s a kilometer in height and straight rock face. The snowy area tucked away behind El Capitan is Cloud’s Rest. Then Half Dome, the cross-sectioned dome monolith. Sentinel Rock is the slope which is in front of Half Dome. Bridalveil Falls is closer. Low clouds float and transform on the forest valley floor and all the aforementioned features.
