Imperial Masterpiece
For those who can understand French or German (subtitles available in both languages), I recommand this series of short documentaries on ArteTV. The one I watched this morning while having my second coffee of the day was "The survivors". 700 days up a Redwood to save the tree, and Shinji Suzuki and a 500 year-old shimpaku. Much more about "philosophy", the relation of Man to nature, than "showing off techniques".
Also beautiful pictures of other trees in Shinji Suzuki's care :
PS: the green lady's name is, if I remember well, Julia Butterfly Hill. Isn't that, er... "cute" ?
PPS: it's funny that "Traum" in German comes from the same root as "trauma", whereas when people say "I have a dream..." it's usually optimistic, even if based on... trauma. "Rêve" in French is always positive, contrary to "cauchemar" (nightmare/nachtmaar) What does a female horse have to do with bad dreams ?...
