Time Lapse Clouds and Sky Over the Canary Islands
Explanation:
If you could sit back and watch clouds and the sky move all night and day, what might
you see?
One answer from the island of
Tenerife, captured over the
course of the year,
includes sequences that are not only breathtaking but instructive.
Visible in the
above time-lapse movie include clouds that
seem to flow like water, a setting sun that shows numerous
green flashes, the Milky Way Galaxy rising behind towering
plants, a colorful double
fogbow,
lenticular clouds
that appear stationary near their mountain peaks, and colorful
moon coronas.
The
above video was shot solely from the
Teide National Park
on
Tenerife in the
Canary Islands of
Spain, off the north west coast of
Africa.
The video also features an unusual type of plant in several scenes --
can you identify
it?
