    Scene notes:

    The sunrise is displayed on Grand Canyon, light slowly brightening. The clouds above in the shifting sunlight transform wildly in the new light, and then gradually lose previous semblance of color. Instead of being lit from below, the clouds above are lit from above shortly after dawn. The desert canyon vista that stretches many miles is eventually illuminated like any other day.
