2 comments about Yellowstone:First National Park.

1. At first glance one may disgard this work as "just another documentary on wildlife..." absolutely not, I could not believe the production, editing and narrating skills. It is a high class proffessional work and I have nothing but praise for it. The film made me need to go there, I want nothing more than to roam around in the unspoilt beauty of nature at it's most powerful and awe inspiring. If you are yet to see this masterpiece, I advise you to do so at your soonest convenience. My final words on this film: Life changing



2. I read Mr T.D.Newt's review of this video, I expected to be dissapointed when I actually saw the video for myself, I was not, Mr Newt was 100% correct, it really is a work of art which is unparalelled in modern screen history. I'm not easily excited by this type of footage, but I have to admit I did well up at some of the purer moments of beauty in this fine effort. I would urge any one who has not witnessed this to immediately seek it out.

2 comments about Discovering Canada by Rail - Vol. 2: Gold Country.

1. This video is well worth the price! Here's what you'll see:

   WHITE PASS & YUKON

   Take a ride on one of the few remaining narrow gauge railways in North America, The White Pass and Yukon Railway, from Skagway up to the White Pass summit. From the summit, you'll explore the city of Whitehorse and the surrounding area including the mighty Yukon River. You'll also visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and the small cabin that once served as home for the famous poet, Robert Service.

   GOLD RUSH COUNTRY

   Take The Skeena from Jasper, high in the Canadian Rockies, along the rugged Fraser River to the Pacific Coast; and the legendary narrow gauge White Pass and Yukon Railway from Skagway to Whitehorse. Savour the spirit that created the Klondike Gold Rush and learn about the Gitskan and their wonderful totem poles and carvings.

   THE CARIBOO PROSPECTOR

   Climb aboard the Cariboo Prospector and journey up the magnificent Fraser Canyon. Visit a dude ranch and the old restored mining town of Bakerville. Peek into the past at Revelstoke and take a look at the great locomotive-The Mikado.




2. We have 3 videos of this series so far and each one seems more enjoyable than the last! If you're looking for travel videos or if you're a train buff, you can't go wrong with any in this series! They're beautifully done--spectacular scenery, interesting trains, well-narrated, colorful people along the way, bits of history, they've got it all.

1 comments about Switzerland: Berner Alps, Western Switzerland.

1. I like Rick Steves' approach to European travel. He finds comfortable, affordable lodging and good restaurants off the beaten path and, through his relationships with innkeepers, artisans and others, gives the viewer a sense of getting to know a place. Having lived in Switzerland myself, I can vouch that this video gives a real picture of western Switzerland and the Bernese Oberland. I could taste the hearty breakfasts and feel the cold winter air. With more than two decades of travel experience, it would be difficult to find a more knowledgeable and down-to-earth tour guide than Rick Steves. I like that he always includes some art find, whether it's a church or a museum. It adds a reverential air to his reviews. And you know that someone who likes to eat as much as Mr. Steves is dead on.

5 comments about Californian Dreams / Waves: Virtual Vacations For Relaxation.

1. The Waves Virtual Vacation series is perfect for anyone who has spent or always wanted to have spent time in these environments, re-living the sound of the crashing surf, the distant fog horns, the local wildlife, and the grandeur of the sunrise and sunset. There is something very calming and hypnotic about these digital diversions -- a great escape from work, the family, and the daily stressors and anxieties of life. Whether you're meditating, having trouble falling asleep, or just closing your eyes to relax, you'll find yourself carried away to another time and place just long enough to make a difference.



2. I really love this! It is so relaxing and calming. The scenes are just breathtaking and you are mesmerized by their beauty.
   As an unexpected treat, my cats love it too! They try sooo hard to get the birds and one cat will sit and watch it for hours!
   I enjoy just letting it play in the background as I am working, such a wonderful sight when I look away from my computer screen for a moment. Total joy, I can't recomend this enough!



3. I have been looking for just such a video for a very long time. I have bought others,not the wave series,and been very dissapointed with their lack of beauty and quality.This video California Dreams is such a restful and beatiful video it is truly as if you are on vacation while you are watching.I plan on getting others in the series and also giving them as gifts.



4. I have owned this video as well as the California Zen video for a couple of years and the quality is top notch! The sounds of the waves are relaxing and the sunsets are awesome! This is the perfect video to watch after a long day or just when you need to get that feeling of just lying on your favourite California beach. Awesome!



5. I find choosing a favorite among Greg Voevodsky's remarkable 'oevre' very near impossible. One must choose among equally stunning jewels. This one is a contender, though, because it offers pristine, unhurried views of California's awesome coastline. I've personally viewed all these places and loved them on sight: the riveting Golden Gate towering over San Francisco Bay; the astonishing rock formations of the Big Sur; the white sand and blue sky of Santa Monica; and much more. If anything, revisiting them in Greg's elegant style is an improvement on the originals! No driving, no distractions, no searching for the ultimate view. Greg handles all that for the viewer. And does so with glorious finesse: long, still shots that speak for themselves; only the soft, ambient sounds of the places with their rhythmic waves and the occasional gull 'playing chicken' with the surf.To my knowledge this restrained approach is nowhere else available. All the other nature videos, feel obliged to throw something extra in to 'enhance' the experience, all of which impresses me as 'elevator music'. Not Greg. He thinks the place is enough. So do I. I'm working on collecting all his works. Do yourself a gentle favor. Do likewise.

1. Limited narration... just a barrage of disconnected scenes from Spain. This video provides little to orient the student or traveller. A disappointment.

1 comments about Irish Homecoming.

1. This video follows five Irish-Americans to Ireland,where they research their family histories. Each has different expectations and hopes for results. The host accompanies each person as the search leads to various sources and various results. The video provides valuable tips and suggestions for pursuing one's family history research, as well as inspiration to motivate the beginning genealogist.
