Scene notes:
On a precipice with no land in sight as the fog flows below and around the POV. The sun sets below the horizon in the distance, and it is now dusk.

1 of 2 Facing west at sunset from a viewpoint…

Scene notes:
…light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. Because of a small patch of open sky, the sun breaks free into the valley below in between dense cloud cover of Cumulus type. Far in the distance is the barely visible horizon, which is cloaked in cloud shadow. This is the second clip in a scene of a few that were taken within the same 90 minutes.

Gold storm with majestic mammatus shifts on sunset…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…over ocean time-lapse. Intricate and delicate, the underside of these clouds are illuminated minutes after the sun has set to the observer. How is this? The sun is below the horizon to the observer, but not to the sky above. At that moment, you would still see the sun if in an airplane at that height. You would be in its light, as are these clouds. Since these clouds are attached to a storm, their altitude could in fact be 30,000 ft or more. This would make sense, due to the low movement of the delicate parts of the cloud, which would have frozen droplets. Some lower clouds that make up lower thunderstorm bodies have a mix of frozen droplets, gaseous vapor, and liquid.
On a sliver of ocean with distant palm trees silhouetted far away, another younger storm is at the right of the lower frame portion. Blue sky persists in an area that homes other colorful clouds at higher altitudes of 45000 feet, or about 15000 m. The sun sets and the ‘mammatus’ clouds from the storm redden.

Late afternoon land sea traffic around Golden Gate

Scene notes:
The brick-red Golden Gate Bridge spans the frame, never-ceasing traffic flow pouring through. Under, beyond, and before, ships of all sail, motor, and port into the bay. Observe baby-sized waves on the headlands below, made apparent by the time-lapse.

A small cirque glacial feature is clear between a saddle created by the two peaks, which clouds float over.

Scene notes:
Multiple levels of clouds moving across the sky in differing directions. A Stratocumulus layer with a brief rain shower passes by mid-clip, but the sky is mostly clear by the end, with just a few fluffy clouds remaining.
