Cloud studies, etc

Close up image of clouds at sundown. Dusty and charcoal grey puffs and swoops that have orange tinged undersides. Looks like smoke but really just darkened clouds. The upper part of the image reveals some of the sky which is a faded denim blue colour that is yellow tinged towards the bottom of the image. Taken with smartphone.
Close up image of clouds at sundown. Dusty and charcoal grey puffs and swoops that have orange tinged undersides. Looks like smoke but really just darkened clouds. These clouds are darker and more fierce looking. Less bright blue is seen in the sky behind, more faded like clothes washed over and over that have become discoloured. Taken with smartphone.
Image of a bright blue sky with faded white towards the bottom. The sky becomes more blue and deep as you look up. The top of the sky has fluffy white-pink-orange clouds, lined with charcoal grey. Someone behind the cloud would see a dark cloud perhaps, while we see the other side - bright pale orange and pink. The big poof of cloud in the top of the sky looks like it’s falling downwards diagonally onto smaller poofs of orange and pink. These smaller poofs contain more charcoal fluff. The movement of the large cloud looks like it’s jumping into a swimming pool. But it looks graceful, not goofy. Taken with smartphone.
Image of a blue sky, opaque with a medium light colour. It is not a very bright or dark blue. It’s a very delicate yet strong blue. Large puffs of white clouds take up much of the upper and mid part of the sky and cover it diagonally from top left corner to bottom mid corner. The clouds are white, tinged with a pale orangey pink. Very faint grey can be seen in the undercolour and outlines. The puffs separate delicately from the main clouds like very fine fluff pulled away from sheep’s wool. The smaller pieces look delicate and fragile. Taken with smartphone.
Portrait image of a skyline with Toronto Island in the horizon line and a concrete ledge seen diagonally in the bottom left corner. The sky is a faded blue-grey. The clouds are like mounds of lightly dusty charcoal puffs with little pieces floating away from the tops of the them. Behind and near the horizon is a pastel orange sky, that fades into white, then blue-ish pale grey. The water is speckled by many little waves. Lake Ontario is mostly peaceful. The day is not windy so the waves are gentle and water looks serene. The water is a deeper grey blue colour and its surface is like a mirror, reflecting the orange sky and charcoal puffy cloud. However, everything reflected in the lake looks deeper, darker and a little more mysterious. You can see the tiniest speck of a white-ish yellow moon in the upper mid part of the sky, between the clouds. It is not yet full, part of it is chipped away. Still, the tiny moon looks luminescent.

text description of video:

A portrait framed video taken with a Samsung Smartphone.
A skyline image of Toronto Island with only a dark tiny line seen of a tree canopy stretched across the middle. It is sunset, past 6:30 pm.
The upper half is a faint blue sky, almost pale grey, with a large cluster of clouds to the right. The cluster stretches to the lower right of the sky with a small amount of cloud stretched to the left. In the upper middle of the sky, there is a tiny speck of a luminescent white-yellow moon.
Google says: “Last night, the moon was a waxing gibbous, which is the phase after the first quarter and before the full moon. It was more than half illuminated and was growing towards the full moon, which will occur on November 5th.”
The moon appears like someone took a bite out of its left side. It is glowing.
The clouds are not white but charcoal smokey grey mixed with blue and tinges of pale orange-pink. The clouds look frothy like the sea foam from when a wave rolls onto another.
Towards the horizon, there is grey blue sky that turns white-ish, then pale orange, then pale pink. In the far distance above the horizon are more grey blue puffs stretched out like wool. The horizon line goes a bit off kilter. The person filming is obviously a bit shaky.

The air appears hazy.

Water is in the lower half, reflecting greys, pinks and oranges speckled like impressionistic brush strokes. Parts of the water appear dark indigo, in the bottom right. In the bottom left is a dark grey concrete slab, the edge of the seawall. It is speckled with white bird poop.

The sound of We Are The Champions by Queen rings out in the night air, tinny like from a radio. You can hear the loud hum of a boat motor.

A white boat slowly comes into the foreground, provoking a bird to fly out of its path. It says RESCUE in black capitalized letters on the side. 4 people dressed in red jackets, one sitting and steering. No words. Five flags hung at the rear; a Canadian flag on the main pole, atop a Blue Jays flag, atop an American flag. 2 flagpoles fan out from the sides of the centre pole, crowned with one Blue Jays flag each.

The boat passes out of frame. Waves cascade widely from its sides. About 35 seconds later, the boat returns in view and passes to the left of the frame. The clip ends soon after.

 

*I’m trying to do descriptions as a beginner. I appreciate feedback on how to do creative, interesting (text or audio) descriptions.
