… under clouds and shadows beyond a small lake. Past a lake, in the distance on some rugged and steep hills leading to higher peaks, a large grove of Aspen trees is under frequent shadowing from heavier low clouds, which are moving away from the point of view. Snow can be seen on the higher altitudes in different places.

A hole in the cloud cover, and one smaller, scudding cloud in between that and the observer is all it takes for potent light rays to show on the humid air near sunset. The cloud itself creates the shade on the glow and understanding that makes the crepuscular rays logical to understand. The sunlight has radiant intensity, and this shows to the observer the details of the landscape below; trees on vast hills surrounding some countryside and a small pond far away.

…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.

Panning downward slowly, a slow moving rain cloud complex over a plan during dusk. Rain can be observed in the distance at the very bottom of the frame, as well as a distant tree line. The clouds range from strongly tinged pink to Halloween orange as the sunset progresses.

Floating past, a rapidly deteriorating Cumulus congestus (towering cloud) is absorbed by the slightly dryer air it moves into. Above, many layers of thinner clouds and medium-thick clouds also transform in the rapidly setting sun, which is out of frame at right the sky darkens, but brighter portions of clips can always be trimmed for use.

…Airport, SFO at night under rainy clouds. Continental traveling airplanes are seen landing over the bay diagonally across the frame. The bright lights of a few are visible among the other city lights, taxiing for takeoff or to their gates. In the bottom quarter of the frame the water moves, and reflects the light of the clouds, illuminated in the city’s lighting. The lower stratus clouds bring rain on the city across the water.
