Rocky Mountain National Park on a partly cloudy day looking east from a viewpoint with towering clouds just off in the distance, their shadows quickly traversing the landscape as it becomes cloudier.

…rocky, snowy winter peaks. Symmetrical slopes dominate the frame, with rocks and small boulders among evergreens that lead up to near the very tips of these mountain tops. With light, low rolling clouds pouring over and piling on these steep slopes, jagged, snowy peaks poke out like jigsaw teeth.
A diagonally-oriented cloud formation stretches across the frame as higher clouds also meander overhead. On the landscape, a turret-shaped boulder and other oddly shaped formations (right).

… the forest above Mill Valley and on Mt Tamalpais. Similar at a first glance to a creek in long exposures, fog flowing central of frame takes the shapes of running water, while remaining gaseous vapor. The layer that came in from the ocean runs far into the horizon. Even very far away on the horizon, headlands rise slightly above the stratus. Playback length at 30 fps: 25 seconds.
… above the foggy vista below that shifts on light breeze. Physically panning left far above a Stratocumulus layer below the mostly sterile volcanic landscape at dusk. Many clips of Precipice are like one another, and some share the same scene at different times. All Precipice clips take place on a steep drop-off, even if that drop is out of frame. They all have in common a cloud or fog layer either at below the point of view’s elevation and are at or near sunset.
