Active geysers vents huge amounts of water vapor in the morning sky next to a flowing river. The plume ranges from bright pink to gold and ranges in brightness due to a cloud off-camera blocking the light momentarily.

… and blue sky, facing east at sunset to Mt Shasta. Here a low-level cloud strand streak off the summit, and mid-level altostratus clouds catch the colorful sunset light. The mountain (lower left) is snow-covered and stands beyond a foothill of Manzanita bushes and shrubs, as well as distant evergreen Conifers.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
43 seconds and 2 frames.
… and medium-density clouds transforming above. Red stones, extremely unusual in shape outside of the American West, appear as monoliths while the camera pans away to the lower, fluffy clouds in the sky. There is no foreground or horizon shown in this frame.

Even the snow of the foreground is pink from the ambient light of the clouds. A fiery canvas ablaze with the day’s last minutes, streaks of vibrant crimson and passionate pink ignite the western sky. Below, a tranquil expanse of water mirrors the celestial drama, reflecting hues of rose and lavender. Silhouetted pines stand sentinel along the snowy banks, their dark forms a stark contrast to the luminous horizon. Distant, snow-capped peaks fade into a soft, ethereal blue, a gentle boundary between earth and the incandescent heavens. The snow continues in the distant mountain Mt Tallac (far away and at right).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
27 seconds and 23 frames.
The snow-covered rim of both the north and southern rim of Grand Canyon is highlighted under moving lower, fluffy clouds. Clouds from outside the frame cast their dark shadows on the cliffs and rim as they pass swiftly in the winter wind, their transformations almost muted playsinline compared to the clouds of summer. The lower temperatures are responsible for the relatively sluggish air currents around and in the clouds themselves.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

The sun sets below as lower clouds float quickly and change as they make their way past the camera overhead in the illumination of the evening sun, colors shifting as time moves on to the ‘blue hour’.
