    Scene notes:

    Another similar scene to Day111A, an ocean view looking on the Miami skyline from the east. Groups of taller, late-afternoon clouds, tilting towards their direction of wind, as if italicized and colorful, dwarf the tallest buildings, which are reflected on the calm waters of the bay. A three second interval is used. The clouds’ lighter colors are Fawn to Lime Oak.

  • Partial rainbow on Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains with beach in foreground

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    To preserve the beach itself, the name is not shared here. Above the jungle peaks, the clouds over the Napali coastline drop enough rain at the distance needed to produce a partial rainbow, which is a full half to double rainbow in another clip; that specific clip can be found by clicking the ‘rainbow’ tag on this page. This is a clip with SKU# DSK146 that is categorized in the ‘Day’ collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

  • Low clouds are beginning to form around the Grand Teton peaks

    Scene notes:

    Jagged sentinels pierce the azure veil,
    Their granite shoulders, stark and gray.
    A crown of snow, a fleeting white,
    Clings to the peaks in growing light.

    Shadows creep, like whispered tales,
    Across the rugged, icy scales.
    A silent majesty they keep,
    While wisps of cloud in clear time.

    A wildness etched in every faultline,
    Where earth and sky in eternal time.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    6 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Looking north from Gullfoss to Nýifoss and volcanism

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …sharp hills in the distance under rain clouds in Iceland. Across a pleasant grassy plain, jagged and young volcanic features are cloaked on and off by rain under heavier clouds. This central point in Iceland is south of Nýifoss, which can be traversed on foot, but is relatively inaccessible. These volcanic landscapes are incredibly common in the east and west of Iceland but can be observed from the center of the island as well. Iceland receives a lot of annual rainfall but is usually no colder than New York city due to its marine surrounding. The rain feeds countless, innumerable waterfalls that are short-lived after heavy rainfalls. Some canyons are absolutely surrounded by waterfalls after rainy periods.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 6 frames.

  • Over a forest and suburban farm pond…

    Scene notes:

    …light shafts shine momentarily on congestus afternoon clouds in the late afternoon, by a pond and a typical wetland in Oregon. The clouds are outlined by the sun, with some sunbeams being defined by the shifting cloud shapes, which are lifting and meandering on slow or still wind. A higher layer is less influenced by the heating of the ground.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 15 frames.
