Vibrant alpenglow fades behind mountains of Jasper at sunset with snowy cliffs
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The mountain range is bathed in alpenglow, pink ambient lighting. High clouds provide the color, minutes after sunset in the winter. The mountain range is expansive in height and width, and is also defined by striated rock steps, cirques, flutings, fallen seracs, crags, long cornices, ice walls, and summits. The range at right has ice and snow fields as well as rock steps and an aret’e peak. The wide sky composes roughly two thirds of the frame.

Very slow light shaft moving toward the view on top Bryce Canyon
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
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.

Fair sky facing south at sunset from mountain
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
A mostly clear dusk sky over the Inyo mountains lookout. The snow-covered ground is dotted with Bristlecone pines. In the distance, a vast mountain range that is part of the Sierra Nevada. One ridge and the furthest ridge create a ‘saddle’ mid-frame and may look like an unlevel horizon, but such is nature and the wild. The sky is deep into ‘blue hour’.

Shadows and the breeze on pristine waters of Crater Lake and Wizard Island
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The lake caldera spans the frame, with Wizard Hat Island in the upper-right of the frame. The snow on the north facing slopes make the right-side of the frame a winter landscape around the water. The lake itself has many different breezes playing on its surface, owing to the shape of the rim that encircles it. Rocky cliffs frame the lower left and right, with smaller junipers and other species of trees.

Stark gold light rays slowly move around rolling lower clouds at sunset
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
A hole in the cloud cover, and one smaller, scudding cloud in between that and the observer is all it takes for potent light rays to show on the humid air near sunset. The cloud itself creates the shade on the glow and understanding that makes the crepuscular rays logical to understand. The sunlight has radiant intensity, and this shows to the observer the details of the landscape below; trees on vast hills surrounding some countryside and a small pond far away.

Extra-light clouds casting a few shadows transforming
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The snow-covered rim of both the north and southern rim of Grand Canyon is highlighted under moving lower, fluffy clouds. Clouds from outside the frame cast their dark shadows on the cliffs and rim as they pass swiftly in the winter wind, their transformations almost muted playsinline compared to the clouds of summer. The lower temperatures are responsible for the relatively sluggish air currents around and in the clouds themselves.
