Spring Light

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Yesterday we had a brilliant spring day. My wife was visiting an old friend, my eldest son was clearing and cleaning his room with a friend – he just moved out to live together with his girlfriend – and I took my camera to go for a walk in the nearby Elfenau park (Elfenau means meadow of the elves and that’s how it is…).

I somehow felt my senses turned on to high reception, at the beginning even irritatingly intense. One beauty drew me to the other – colours, shades, silent celebrations of new life – all around. For a while I sat on a bench, observing the people walking by. And when listening to the inner side, there was like and orchestra singing a choral in the air, deva vibrations penetrating the atmosphere carrying me away. There is a selection of pictures I took during the walk – enjoy the colours of spring.

Perpetual Ocean

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

This Nasa Video of the oceans seems like a picture of Van Gogh. The visualization shows ocean surface currents around the world during the period from June 2005 through December 2007. It reminds us of the movements of the ethers which continuously circulate around our Mother Earth, vivifying and stimulating all life.

Body Control of Animals and Humans

Saturday, March 17th, 2012

Here are three impressive videos which I would like to share. They show a great control of the body – either by animals or by humans.

A slow-motion video of a hawk flying through small spaces:

A breath-taking free climbing woman, Catherine Destivelle, in Mali – risking life for a kick of fast climbing.

“Way back home” – A bicycle riding clip from Danny MacAskill, it follows him on a journey from Edinburgh back to his hometown Dunvegan, in the Isle of Skye. Beautiful landscapes and incredible acrobatics.

Panorama View of Mount Everest

Like most of us you might not have the occasion to climb on Mount Everest. But you can enjoy the magnificent 360 ° panorama view made with photos of the Australian photographer and mountaineer Roderick Mackenzie, who reached the summit on May 24,1989. Here you can read more about how this panorama came to be.

An Air of Freedom from West Texas

A beautiful video of Wyman Meinzer (Texas State Photographer) about West Texas – impressions of vast countrysides, snakes, coyotes and deer, birds and lakes, and a good music. You’ll feel a longing for nature and freedom. See also his other videos.

Mother Earth: She’s Alive… Beautiful… Finite… Hurting… Worth Dying for

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

A friend sent me today the link to this video with a wonderfully presented message, conveying the state of affairs of the world we live in.

“This is a non-commercial attempt to highlight the fact that world leaders, irresponsible corporates and mindless ‘consumers’ are combining to destroy life on earth. It is dedicated to all who died fighting for the planet and those whose lives are on the line today. The cut was put together by Vivek Chauhan, a young film maker, together with naturalists working with the Sanctuary Asia network. The principal source for the footage was Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s incredible film HOME. The music is by Armand Amar. And extracts from Greenpeace and Timescapes“.

Life in a Day

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world recorded videos of their lives on YouTube to take part in “Life in a Day”, a cinematic experiment to document a single day on earth. From all the material – more than 4,500 hours of footage – Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald and executive producer Ridley Scott created a 90-minute feature film that offers an entertaining, surprising and moving view of life on earth.

After having been presented on different festivals “Life in a Day” is now available for free with subtitles in 25 languages (here is the one with German subtitles). More information on the Lifeinaday-Channel.

A musical celebration of the concept of Time, by scienceandnonduality., produced by Symphony of Science.

They have also produced other videos like Symphony of Science – “Children of Africa” (The Story of Us): “A musical celebration of humanity, its origins, and achievements, contrasted with a somber look at our environmentally destructive tendencies and deep similarities with other primates.”

or “The Poetry of Reality (An Anthem for Science)” (The Poetry of Reality is the fifth installment in the Symphony of Science music video series. It features 12 scientists and science enthusiasts.)

or “Our Place in the Cosmos” – great pictures….
