3 of 3 | Shifting, dark snowy rain clouds on vast lake
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Wind on water is visible throughout this frame. Strong gusts push the water chaotically on the surface of the vast, deep volcanic caldera. So much freshwater fills this vast crater that it is one of the deepest lakes in the world, the lake spans well outside the viewing angle of this POV. After days of solitude and nothing but clouds, light shafts eventually peak through the cloud and snowfall to brightly illuminate sections of water next to Wizard Hat Island.

Crater Lake early morning in the winter with the wind on water below moving
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Winter on Crater Lake: the snow covering the landscape is fresh. The vast lake is not entirely in the shadows of the clouds, as a break in the layer of thick low-level cover reveals light on the lake. The turbulent winds blow on the water, making their marks on the surface as they travel, along with the shadows. Blue sky patches are slowly covered by dawn clouds, which clearly precipitate on the opposing side of the caldera, near Wizard Hat Island. The ridge that comprises the crater’s rim, a drop of 100s of feet, is a winter forest.

Clouds with Sierra Nevada range appearing from haze on meadows in the day

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:
…but holding lots of volume, has stark relief in the afternoon sky. An example of how towering Cumulus hit mid-level altostratus clouds. The dense cauliflower looking clouds are indicative of stronger convection. This is the process of storm formation, where updrafts are apparent in high humidity.

…on mountain in the distance beyond clear pastures. Observable on a large hill, low clouds and rain (left) on these Icelandic farm meadows. Shadows and sunlight on the rain shift as the precipitation rapidly moves along the Nimbus-cloaked high hills.
