… clouds float by overhead and on mountains. A wide-angle view from a hillside overlooking an aspen
grove. Behind, mountains rise on both sides with low clouds and shadows moving past. The same grove
is featured in this clip series from a closer vantage point in three other clips.

This Atlas tree was likely kept alive on this winery’s meadows for its beauty. A single branch has

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.
An original, recently remastered time-lapse of the sky with clouds.

Shadows play across the desert and mountain landscape as the camera pans rightwards. Shadows from
these lower clouds that have moved overhead shift the light on the land. High clouds move onward
while the stratus layer hugging the mountainous peaks transform in time and the higher wind. The
higher north faces of these cliffsides are steeped in snow.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
