Reflections of the sky on the water of a puddle in some of the most varied rock formations in the country. A sawtooth and sawback ridge of red stone is visible in the distance, while in the middle distance, boulders lay on rocks (left).

Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The sandstone shapes are tufa shaped but are created by different processes. Pristine snow catches the light in brilliant ways as the sunlight dims periodically over the landscape intermittently from off-frame clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 21 frames.
Dual layers of clouds over the Canyonlands, Needle District. Brief crepuscular rays are visible as one second shows the landscape in the light. The overhead stratus layer darkens the sky.

11 seconds and 2 frames.
On an overlook at Bryce Canyon in winter. A low-level stratus layer slowly gives way to light. Similar to another clip with more lighting, the snow begins to brighten near the end of the clip. The lowlands glow in the sun’s radiant intensity. This means they both absorb some of the light and emit it in all directions.

44 seconds and 2 frames.
…sets with Cirrus clouds moving overhead. Cirrus clouds, a thin layer of water 40,000 or so feet in the sky, pass quickly by with motion-blur due to the long exposure, which allows the illumination of the moon to be magnified on the desert vista below. Since it is so far below, the Canyonlands view stretches a vast distance, and the many stars of the night sky move as the Earth spins, and the moon with it, towards the horizon and out of the clouds.
