Rock formations under light mid-day clouds flowing overhead. Sandstone spires stand tall into the sky looking down from afar on yellow flowering Arrowleaf Balsomroot plants all around the foreground. The meadow comprises half the frame, and a hill rises green to change into the red ground and shrubs into formations of pure stone.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

Panning to the right over a red rock canyon, with low clouds of low-density float and meandering overhead, shadows quickly passing through the canyon floor and the large white boulder in the foreground (near clip end).

… and medium-density clouds transforming above. Red stones, extremely unusual in shape outside of the American West, appear as monoliths while the camera pans away to the lower, fluffy clouds in the sky. There is no foreground or horizon shown in this frame.

12 seconds and 2 frames.
… on fog far below that appear to slosh on forest. The continuation of another clip (the camera has been moved). The clouds float over Pike’s Peak, a mountain that is high above the stratus fog below, transforming rapidly. The mountain, a combination of smooth and jagged slopes, careens downward (right). The stratus far below shifts on otherwise low wind. The vista is wide and vast, and the sky is blue with exception of the white Cirrostratus layer and aforementioned Cumulus that plays at point of view-level.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
17 seconds and 4 frames.
