Light from the sun relects off the ocean onto clouds
View with alternate video source
Preview synopsis: Where light is reflected off the ocean and lights from beneath the mid-level clouds, it makes these gold colors. A clear view of the sun to the ocean with clouds overhead the observer is not an everyday occurrence where the balance must be ‘just so’.

Scene notes:
…from the center point of view, geysers release steam under pink sky. Road is visible with headlights. Yellowstone National Park. High clouds like cirrus are in the evening sky.

Dawn over water, a partial rainbow over inlet, near Svalbarðseyri, and Akureyri, Iceland
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
On a hill view just north of Akureyri, Iceland. Looking across the inlet to mountainous landscapes in a fog layer of stratus cloud. The low clouds move along, and a partial rainbow briefly forms in the sky from precipitation. The dawn is pinkish on the low clouds, facing west at sunrise, away from the sun. A three second interval is used.

Shadows rising on San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…overbright areas fade as the sun sets away from the point-of-view. Looking east in the late afternoon, you can observe ‘the City’ from afar, behind the long red bridge. Wind on water currents make ripples, as is the traffic on the 101 Highway that spans the bridge. Shadows become longer as the sun sets first on the foreground grassy slopes, and then the ocean bay.

Pink clouds Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…with the yellow sand beach in the foreground. Looking north there is a small Cumulonimbus cloud over the Napali coast. In this short timespan time-lapse there is the light of the sun fading as it goes below the horizon and clouds far away from this beach. The warm day provides plenty of lift and vapor for these clouds, which keep their shapes well as they run into this lifting of air right above the coastline.

Rainbow on Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…with beach in foreground. Kauai is the furthest west island of the Hawaiian chain, and on the furthest western beaches, nature has been left to prevail; although trucks ride on this lesser known beach, it has a big enough area to accommodate the people enjoying the solitude and beauty that is reminiscent of prehistory. A rainbow stretches and begins its second bow as conditions are nearing perfect for this formation; the rain is at the right distance with the sun being at the correct angle in the sky near sunset. As the day grows older the rainbow is more likely to appear, until a period before sunset when it is very likely to encounter clouds on the horizon, as it was apparent in this scene to the observant during filming using two or three second intervals.

Gold storm with majestic mammatus shifts on sunset…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…over ocean time-lapse. Intricate and delicate, the underside of these clouds are illuminated minutes after the sun has set to the observer. How is this? The sun is below the horizon to the observer, but not to the sky above. At that moment, you would still see the sun if in an airplane at that height. You would be in its light, as are these clouds. Since these clouds are attached to a storm, their altitude could in fact be 30,000 ft or more. This would make sense, due to the low movement of the delicate parts of the cloud, which would have frozen droplets. Some lower clouds that make up lower thunderstorm bodies have a mix of frozen droplets, gaseous vapor, and liquid.
On a sliver of ocean with distant palm trees silhouetted far away, another younger storm is at the right of the lower frame portion. Blue sky persists in an area that homes other colorful clouds at higher altitudes of 45000 feet, or about 15000 m. The sun sets and the ‘mammatus’ clouds from the storm redden.
