OVERLOOKED TELEVISION: SUNRISE EARTH

Sometimes the simplest things are the best.  Sunrise Earth was a documentary series whose title explained it all.  Several fixed location high-def cameras placed on a particular spot around the world record the sunrise.  No narration.  No ads.  No moving cameras. Just ambient sound and a view of some special place in the world waking up to a new day..  What could be simpler, more beautiful, and more relaxing?

The locations are often wildlife parks, or areas by water.  Sometimes there would be an Eastern European farming valley or a remote spot in China.  One episode may take you to Venice, another to New Zealand; you may find yourself viewing a tropical lake or a remote sea side.  No matter.  It is all relaxing and wondrous.


The episode I have chosen to link to is sunrise at Machu Picchu.  It's been a little over a year since our friend Bill Crider had to stop blogging, so I'm posting this in honor of him.  Also, there's llamas and mist and a certain majesty.

Also this is a special Christmas present to you from me.  Enjoy.
