    Scene notes:

    Panning right, the shrublands in the foreground comprises the bottom quarter of the frame. Above, blue sky with stray lower clouds casting shadow on the ground below, rapidly shifting. The wide mountain range, snowy and peaked with sharp jagged cliffs, are partly under a blanket, which transform slowly. ‘Caught’ on the land, they exist only here for any length of time before evaporating elsewhere.

  • 2 of 10 | Sierra Nevada Mountain range and mid-day clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Towering congestus clouds, benefiting slightly from orographic lift, float from the peaks of the southern Sierra Nevada range. As tall as the mountains they seem to stand on, they transform as they grow and lose energy away from the peaks, evaporating. On these snowy mountains, their shadows travel. Under the blue sky, which is four-fifths of the frame, high Cirrus clouds move the opposing direction.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 29 frames.

  • 2 of 2 | Mount Rainier’s western flank

    Scene notes:

    Under very light clouds, creeping up its slopes during fair-weather. Its peak becoming more obscured deep in the clouds, Mt Rainier is the subject of the frame, along with a Cumulus cloud that persistently grows. The shade from this cloud casts shadows on the many steep slopes below.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 25 frames.
