…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.

… clifftops, dance over a lone tree. Water vapor, condensed by the extra wind as it rides over peaks. It will not behave in the way a cloud does without the sharp differences of the Earth. The snowy mountain peak has many aiguilles and towers, and the top edges are cornices and snow ridges. A large fluting spans the height of the peak to the base. At right, the fall-colored red-yellow leaves on the main tree quiver slightly in the breeze that pushes the cloud shadows slowly overhead and the landscape. The
