Over no horizon, lower cumulus and upper-level clouds
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Exemplar of towering clouds. These are called Cumulus congestus. If the clouds were closer together (greater humidity) or the air was a little warmer, a thunderstorm would have formed. Later in the day, these clouds did form a storm. One gets the impression that these clouds, when experienced in the morning or around noon, are a fair indicator of rain or lightning to come shortly. Visually observing these clouds closely allows the observer the ability to predict rainfall with higher accuracy than a weather forecast or radar alone.

Historic Zurich, many types of public transport are displayed, and high foot traffic is displayed across the river on the street which spans much of the frame. Many buildings amongst European alders and elms are displayed. Recently, a Swiss study has indicated more trees in cities would save thousands of lives in future heat waves.
