I’m writing this blog in a cab in London. These rides tend to be long so I’m putting down the Twitterberry for a bit and dusting off the ol’ typewriter. I’m touring Europe for the majority of the month and the days are just flying by.

Animal Adventure: the Planet Earth series

April 05th, 2009

OK, you know by now that I’m into strange animals and documentaries on wildlife. So how come I’m only now discovering the Planet Earth DVD box set? After a couple of thorough recommendations I got my hands on the series last week and started watching it on tour. This series is nothing short of amazing. The shots are so good it almost feels like you’re cheating nature by watching it. Seriously, when I’m in the middle of those schools of fish I feel like I’m intruding. It’s too pretty. When they tell you that you’re watching the first footage of a snow leopard I want to ask “is he OK with this?”. I’m only about a quarter into it now but this clip of a vampyroteuthis is mesmerizing. This youtube clip doesn’t do it justice. Get those DVDs!
