    Scene notes:

    Capturing a moment of time at dawn in the winter among the positively red hoodoos of sandstone and dolomite, which owes their odd shapes to the erosive patterns from these rocks. Snow blankets this unusual and wild landscape, as it stretches and flattens out into the distance where a ridge separates land and sky. The sun, out of frame, rises, and with it the snow brightens, and shadows recede.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 17 frames.
