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.

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.

… lit clouds on a forest wilderness viewpoint. Douglas firs stand into a patch of fog lit up brilliantly in the sun. The glow creates stark shadows where the trees block some of the incoming light. The closer the tree or object is to the source, the more light that it blocks. The fog is blown on the wind, and looking upwards in the frame, more fog glows brightly, further into the sky beyond.

Framed by trees on Mt June, this stable inversion layer is very close to the camera. One may assume fairly that the start of the clip is going to show the fog coming in quickly, but this does not happen. Explanatory info: Batteries of cameras do not last long in the mid-2000’s due to contemporaneous technology.

16 seconds and 26 frames.
This vista post-sunset shows the sky in a tenth of the frame and is focused on the fog-bank below, which covers about two thirds of the lands and hills. In the dim light a hilly ridge ascends a hundred or so feet above the fog, and travels horizontally four-fifths of the frame above.

A three second interval captures a scene of fog on a vast landscape, the view bisected by a nearby forest hill. Observe six-tenths high in the frame, where a ridge of trees just barely reaches out of the fog. Shadows are cast in directions way from the sun, a majestic sight. In the absence of any wind whatsoever, a stable inversion layer has air currents largely from the knock-on effects of its very presence.

From extremely calm wind, a stable foggy stratus layer is far below. Round stones fall away into the center of the frame, and other trees are silhouetted behind vibrant pink vapor that seems to play on the forest scene in a majestic fashion. Hills roll off into the distance, like an ocean, the fog covers the lowlands, hills pointing out further in the distance. A sliver of cloudless sky.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 2 frames.
Golds on stratus looking towards the sunset are commonplace. This fog layer moves on a steady wind below the Douglas Fir trees. The sun sets below the horizon and all the light is removed from the scene except the slight ambient light from the sky. A foreground of grass is visible in the first half of the clip.
