    Scene notes:

    The scientific adage of ‘what goes up, must come down’ rings true in this scene where, at right, lower-level clouds rise in convection. Over this ridgeline, there are pockets of air that fall through the cloud as cold patches, creating these distinctive looking clouds. While the dire, dark gray, bizarre looking ‘mammatus’ are this size only 30-40000 ft and attached to monstrous storms, these are clearly harmless clouds.

    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.

    Scene notes:

    From a unique viewpoint on Yerba Buena island, the Bay Bridge has two directions of traffic on different levels, and is a gateway into the city. The skyline is silhouetted on the evening light. The daylight is left with the sun and transitions to night, and thousands of cars and vehicles pass through the bridge during this time.
