Footage from two trips to the Moab, UT area, I’ve always been fascinated by the shadows of clouds on the landscape in a time lapse. Music is from “Bonne Bay Suite” by Jem Moore on solo hammer dulcimer.

Moab is a city in eastern Utah. It’s a gateway to massive red rock formations in Arches National Park.

Dinosaur tracks can be found at sites like Bull Canyon Overlook and Copper Ridge. In the city, collections at the Museum of Moab include dinosaur bones and archaeological artifacts.
