A stream in a sunny valley Generous, pink-and-blue clouds pass over a dusty trail Clouds move over a ridge
























Billowing clouds White spray of snow plowed by a train
























A violet dawn or twilight from a train window The wake of a boat's passage Breaching humpback whale
























An iceberg calving just behind the boat The cliffside collapses in dust and snow
























A timelapse of Pine Island Glacier melting Sand dunes dancing over several hours or days A patch of prairie grass seen through a dancing frame
























Dry tall grass by a river bend A somewhat dry riverbed from an archival photo
























A crowded and busy clothing factory Smokestacks pumping into the sky A toast inside a pub
























White women under flags, turn-of-the-century Black women picking cotton, the same era
























A bridge over still water A farmer tilling his field Waves of grass moving in the wind
























A crawling beetle in the hay Cotton candy being gathered up and consumed
























a spinning disc in the spotlight a digital star exploding a strange tree that folds in on itself eternally
























trees passing by a big container ship stuck in the Suez Canal
