my latest addiction
is in the form of a bbc documentary series called: "planet earth"
it is basically a nature show narrated by david attenborough (who else) that showcases the world that we live in. so far, i've gone through 3 episodes in the past 2 days...with another 8 more to go...and i'm itching with excitement in anticipation.
what's so special about this show? well...other than the fact that it was entirely filmed in high-definition format (first of it's kind), and that it uses filming technology which has never been done before (lots and lots of awesome aerial views), it also focuses on nature which has rarely or never been seen on film.
now i'm beginning to see how there is so much more to this world than i think i know...
"this new series is more a celebration of our planet, not a lament about the state of it. it shows what is still there. in some areas there is no doubt that we are doing damage to our world but, at the same time, there is a vast amount of uncharted and untouched wilderness."
- david attenborough
many times, you feel for the animals...from the african elephants' encouragement to each other while marching through the deserts in search of water, to the male bird of paradise's crestfallen reaction when he fails to lure a mate...i realise that our world's creatures are more similar in nature than i had previously thought.
the series is showing now on arts central every wednesday night from 10pm-11pm...i highly recommend it to anyone who has a passion for nature, scenery, and conservation. planet earth has certainly captured my imagination and curiosity...how about yours?
cheers. =)
