"A" is Albertans'

During the summer of 2004, Rodrigo Prieto immortalized Albertans' views of the "Wyoming" sky.

Weather-eyed Ennis could read the billowy clouds for the upcoming temperatures and conditions.

The clouds above Alma's head as she's taking down the laundry are mostly composed of water droplets.

"D" is dangerousness
« Reply #14333 on: August 06, 2007, 02:13:26 pm »
Ennis was tuned into the potential dangerousness of clouds.

=comment=
I've looked at clouds from both sides now. 
From Wyoming and Alberta, wow.
It's clouds' illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

"E" is environmental
« Reply #14334 on: August 06, 2007, 04:17:14 pm »
Ang Lee was faithful to Annie Proulx's environmental illustrations of the emotions felt by her characters - using wind, clouds, rain, and snow to great effect.

Different types of cloud formations were majestically captured by lenser Rodrigo Prieto.

"G" is gamma
« Reply #14336 on: August 06, 2007, 04:47:40 pm »
While filming exterior shots, lenser Rodrigo Prieto, like each Wyoming gamma and every Albertan gampa, received doses of gamma radiation coming down from the sky.


def - electromagnetic radiation having very short wavelength and great penetrating power

"H" is hazardous
« Reply #14337 on: August 06, 2007, 04:55:35 pm »
Annie Proulx describes the mixed, disquieting and hazardous tone as the boys descend the mountain for their last time:

... purple cloud crowding in from the west and the metal smell of coming snow pressing them on. The mountain boiled with demonic energy, glazed with flickering broken-cloud light, the wind combed the grass and drew from the damaged krummholz and slit rock a bestial drone. As they descended the slope Ennis felt he was in a slow-motion, but headlong, irreversible fall.

=aside= Paul and Fran
Wow!
Nothing like lyrics and well-chosen images to make a round more interesting.

Annie P. made full use of Wyoming's frequent inclemency.

"J" is jeoparded

During the filming of Brokeback Mountain, shifts in clemency jeoparded the continuity of shots.
