    Scene notes:

    Slow life, newer lava flows, and a mountain in a cloud. A recently active volcano with very little in the way of sediment for plant growth. The UAS flies over a volcanic landscape. Shallow, frozen puddles remain on low points from recent rain. Slow life grows in what little soil there is; this ground is so new in its life.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    31 seconds and 22 frames.

    Scene notes:

    A slow desert scene featuring a few high clouds and arid sand dunes below. The sand dunes comprise ABOUT of half the frame. The distant mountain ridges occupy one fifth. The peaks of Black, Funeral, and Grapevine mountains are off to the east in the distance. The shadows on the ground in particular become longer.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 21 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Area in the area of Bjarnarhöfn, Iceland. The UAS at a few hundred feet altitude, looks straight downward on the volcanic landscape below filles with lichen, slow life, and fresh-water pools. The landscape resembles dried lava flows.
