    Scene notes:

    The partially mined-out north face of Mt Bohemia is displayed in the dusk light, behind a foreground of verdant shrubs with small flowers. Snow is laden in shadow on its scree (broken rocks) areas. The fog slowly laps on the foot of the mountain in the dusk light. The camera moves slowly on a dolly towards the left.

    Scene notes:

    … 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.

    Scene notes:

    Pines and other conifers are framing the sky on all sides of the scene in the early morning above Lake Tahoe, which is surrounded by a forest, and blanketed partially with a fog layer. The sky quickly brightens as high clouds and an airplane contrail turn all the colors of sunrise. The ground is snowy. A similar clip exists.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    38 seconds and 4 frames.
