    Scene notes:

    Filling the sky at dawn are Cirrocumulus clouds. Out of the frame and over the horizon, other clouds block out the light in the second half of the clip. Grapefruit colors and pinks shine on the upper-level clouds as a one second interval is used to create a longer clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    32 seconds and 8 frames.
