    Scene notes:

    In the distance over Lake Tahoe, a fog bank is rolling. In the sky, clouds and crisscrossing contrails are illuminated around 40,000 ft in the morning sun, when colors change fastest (with the exception of dusk). The chardonnay yellows of the horizon and bluish-purple of the deep sky this dawn are on display.

    Scene notes:

    A winter landscape at Grand Canyon facing north from South Rim, with light, fluffy clouds. Along the vista and foreground, the shadows of the clouds move steadily along the scene. The north side of the canyon has a blanket of snow on the rim, which is mostly under very low vapor cover.

    Scene notes:

    Frost covered, mossy trees, all on a forest slope. A distinctly Oregonian forest, with moss and trees covered in a moving fog that is just the same altitude as the point of view. Panning downwards from frost-covered moss of a defoliated tree, before the many pines and cypresses of varying age and size. At bottom and left of the frame, ferns and mossy trees make the forest carpet, sloping steeply downwards, with other limbs and trunks seemingly coming out of and back into the cold winter mist of pristine air quality.
