The unique shape of an Atlas cedar is silhouetted against the brighter layers of upper-level clouds. Slower clips like these are more useful relaxation, biofeedback, etc. In the lower four tenths of the frame a slowly roiling fog bank is pinkish from ambient light. A longer exposure speed is used relative to other clips.

19 seconds and 25 frames.
The sun radiates vibrant sunbeams, filtered through the evergreen tree on the left of the frame. The fog moves rapidly left to right, and as its edges pass through the middle ground, the tree creates shadows where it physically blocks the light. The sunbeams are most pronounced midway through the clip. The colors of the glow change from bright gold to Papaya orange.

An evening on windy Mt Diablo, a foreground of vegetation precedes the several hills in small layers of fog. The wind whips the fog over the hillsides below, as the humid air glows brightly near the sun in the upper-third of the frame. Only in the distance of the Bay area are there more fog layers. The sky is otherwise cloudless, as the close fog passes nearby intermittently, brightening the whole scene for brief moments.

Eleven distinct ‘waves’ of cloud banks can be observed spanning the clip’s payback. At this elevation, the tops of stratus clouds beyond and just a few hundred meters away move very quickly in the wind. An effect on the cloud from the land can be seen, owing to the ‘crashing’ transformation effect that the waves of clouds rapidly show. As the afternoon progresses closer to sunset, the color begins to change as well.

A continuation of another clip. The top fifty percent is a rolling fog layer of stratus. The base of the cloud is above ground, but the word ‘fog’ is used in this clip’s context; this is a ‘Stratocumulus’ cloud. It blankets a large area and is being blown on a strong ocean wind. Around 500 ft away in the middle-background, the transition between land and sky is not so clear. The tree line is shown being inundated intermittently. On a setting sun, the cloud glows colors of gold, with enough illumination for the grassy foreground.

… blanket of fog shines on forest at sunset. A marine cloud layer at about 3500 ft is the flank of Mt. June facing west. The sun is not yet visible in the frame, and the clouds begin to turn pinker as time moves forward,

19 seconds and 21 frames.
As the point-of-view pans to the right over melting ice on a foreground rock, the fog, just beyond the close tree line below, begins to inundate. Sunbeams are observed during moments of time when the fog’s upper visible limit is the same altitude as the trees. On a grassy slope that comprises the middle ground, the fog eventually becomes an obscuring factor in the sunset light.

17 seconds and 29 frames.
This wide vista is on the top of the butte called Spencer Butte in Oregon. The stratus of fog below and far away to the coast range is pierced by several hills and ridges with full tree cover. The foreground trees are silhouetted. The sun moves tower in the top-left, and the golds turn reddish. There is a layer of high clouds as well in the fraction of the frame that composes the actual sky.
