Scene notes:
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.

Scene notes:
Medium and lower-level clouds, as well as a small ‘scudding’ layer that is halfway up the mountain’s slopes, transform all along this multicolored mountain and arid landscape of yellows, reds, and whites of snow pack on eroded cliff faces and meltwater channels (center of frame at beginning of clip).

Scene notes:
Panning digitally upwards, while the mountains display four levels of cloud cover, with two on its peaks or flank. Altocumulus appears to follow the low clouds caught on the peaks, with the same amount of evaporation once over. The fourth layer is the high-altitude Cirrostratus, a layer of thicker Cirrus, not affected by the lower mountains.
