Towering cumulus over Lake Tahoe Barker Pass area
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Convection is when a thunderstorm or cumulonimbus begins, which produces rain. So much cumuliform on such a larger cloud at left is indicative of one.

Clouds rise over Miami skyline in the afternoon 3 of 3
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Another similar scene to Day111A, an ocean view looking on the Miami skyline from the east. Groups of taller, late-afternoon clouds, tilting towards their direction of wind, as if italicized and colorful, dwarf the tallest buildings, which are reflected on the calm waters of the bay. A three second interval is used. The clouds’ lighter colors are Fawn to Lime Oak.

Partial rainbow on Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains with beach in foreground
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
To preserve the beach itself, the name is not shared here. Above the jungle peaks, the clouds over the Napali coastline drop enough rain at the distance needed to produce a partial rainbow, which is a full half to double rainbow in another clip; that specific clip can be found by clicking the ‘rainbow’ tag on this page. This is a clip with SKU# DSK146 that is categorized in the ‘Day’ collection.

Over a forest and suburban farm pond…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…light shafts shine momentarily on congestus afternoon clouds in the late afternoon, by a pond and a typical wetland in Oregon. The clouds are outlined by the sun, with some sunbeams being defined by the shifting cloud shapes, which are lifting and meandering on slow or still wind. A higher layer is less influenced by the heating of the ground.

Scene notes:
Cumulus at dusk on peaks and overhead. While the sun has set behind the mountains because of their height, actual sunset has not occurred, so the clouds’ are not brightly lit with reds. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted.

Winter in Yosemite over the woods and under heavy cloud
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
A three second interval is used for short timespan clips such as these. If not for the steep slopes of the valley cliffs, cloaked partly in dense winter fog, this scene could be reminiscent of many northern climates. The cerulean late afternoon sky is unobscured along much of the top third of the frame, but the clouds are moving everywhere.

Half-frozen Tioga Lake view of Mt Lyell…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
… under some very light transforming clouds and shade. North of Yosemite Valley is the highway to connect to the other side of the state. This Tioga Pass Road is closed much of the year due to snowfall. The snowy landscape vista stretches out to Mt Lyell of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, which passes through the National Park.
