Digitally panning at blue hour on the mountains of Banff National Park in Canada. The sun lights up the lower-level clouds which ride the steady wind just above the snowy peaks and ridges. The Canadian Rockies are home to both Banff and Jasper parks, which are situated not far from each other geographically, and are both in the Alberta province.

The view over sub-arctic woods at night. One of the last areas this far north with any significant light pollution (man-made light that has a significant impact on the darkness of the night), the Northern Lights are observable in the distant thermosphere, around 65 miles above the Earth. This clip contains the lowest amount of transforming aurora in the entire collection.

Precipitation that evaporates in the dryer air that it falls into is called Virga. These low-level fluffy and convective, as well as stratus clouds, are shown with camera facing northeast, away from the direction the sunset. Pleasant meadows and hills underline the pink and transforming clouds, with the Virga appearing more stationary.

The thunderstorm moves past the frame, right to left. The lightning illuminates the cloud stochastically as the city, outside of the frame, lights the clouds from below constantly. Leaving behind some of itself as it passes overhead, the ‘cell’ is moved by outflow from other storms.

…some fair-weather clouds in the mid-day blue sky. The shadows of sand dunes slowly creep longer on the sand. The ocean stretches away into the distance to the right. European beach-grass was introduced in the early 20th century- but its spread poses changes to the dune’s existence themselves. Its ability to live in sand is a double-edged sword for the local ecology. A largely cloudy Cirrus sky in the top third of the frame moves inland towards the right of the frame, but it has not yet fully shaded the foreground and beach beyond until late in the clip.

…Landscape and highway with cars headlights, comatics. Car headlights travel quickly along the highway, which is at the foot of some mountainous foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The moonlight provides illumination to the towering, massive clouds overhead, and the orangeish headlight brightening of the lower portion of clouds is observable.

The finest details are shown as these mid-level clouds above the Grand Tetons mountain range peaks above the tree line, far away. The very fine texture of a smaller cloud in particular, glowing in reds and pinks, lives shortly as the sun fades after it has already set. Juniper trees frame the mountains and span the vertical axis of the frame.

Near this grove of autumn trees, a many colored, a rocky and steep foothill looms to the upper-right of the frame, on which shadows of the clouds move slowly over. Nearer in the foreground, hints of steamy geysers pass quicy. The yellow trees seem to vibrate slightly in the wind.
