Over sand dunes with shrublands on the right. The shadows of the nearby fog, passing on the ocean breeze, float by quickly as it unexpectedly comes in on return. The dunes don’t show a low amount of human impact- but a definite impact, nonetheless. The sky consists of the top seventh of the frame and is a mix of stratus layers under blue sky. The frame pans downward digitally from the sky.

To preserve the beach itself, the name is not shared here. Above the jungle peaks, the clouds over the Napali coastline drop enough rain at the distance needed to produce a partial rainbow, which is a full half to double rainbow in another clip; that specific clip can be found by clicking the ‘rainbow’ tag on this page. This is a clip with SKU# DSK146 that is categorized in the ‘Day’ collection.

A shallow and calm beach typical of the Gulf, three quarters of the frame is ocean with building tropical clouds in the distance, about one sixth of the frame, under a blue sky in the remaining six. A distant tree line far on the beach with tropical trees and signs of people on the left. Fine details of the ripples of sand under the clear water with caustic lights on the floor, the water is aquamarine up-close. 30 fps Time-lapse length:10 seconds, 22 frames
…with the yellow sand beach in the foreground. Looking north there is a small Cumulonimbus cloud over the Napali coast. In this short timespan time-lapse there is the light of the sun fading as it goes below the horizon and clouds far away from this beach. The warm day provides plenty of lift and vapor for these clouds, which keep their shapes well as they run into this lifting of air right above the coastline.
…with beach in foreground. Kauai is the furthest west island of the Hawaiian chain, and on the furthest western beaches, nature has been left to prevail; although trucks ride on this lesser known beach, it has a big enough area to accommodate the people enjoying the solitude and beauty that is reminiscent of prehistory. A rainbow stretches and begins its second bow as conditions are nearing perfect for this formation; the rain is at the right distance with the sun being at the correct angle in the sky near sunset. As the day grows older the rainbow is more likely to appear, until a period before sunset when it is very likely to encounter clouds on the horizon, as it was apparent in this scene to the observant during filming using two or three second intervals.
European beach grass imported to protect the sand dunes of an Oregon beach 90 years ago. If left unchecked, the grass will change the dunes into woodland. High Cirrus clouds slowly move overhead. A small portion of the frame reveals the ocean (left).

European beach grass dominates the frame, the mid-level clouds in the top-right third of the frame, and sand in the lower quarter of the frame, shaded by the clouds on and off.

… Painted Hills lingering above other hills of remote eastern Oregon. Arrowleaf balsamroot, yellow flowers, comprise much of the foreground space. The Painted Hills, remote and unique, are sandy dunes under lower-level clouds in the sky. The surrounding meadow hills look gentle and are all-green.
