Wow! Just wow!
Amazing, right!?!?!
that is amazing. I’d love to know how the fisherman was feeling
Me too!
Reminds me of Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’…
True!
Can’t decide if that would mesmerize me or freak me out totally…
Ha!

Wow!! … Nature!! … ‘Aldous Huxley: “It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.”
Just beautiful, especially with the sound up. Thanks, DK.
Just beautiful, especially with the volume up. Thank, DK.
Agree Roseanne. With you.
I couldn’t agree more with the Huxley quote, David. As for the birds, why, I love the fact they were just being birds (without heaviness). Lightly. Cher xo
Without heaviness. Love that Cher.
🤗💜
Watching from a distance, with that music lulling me is so beautifully relaxing… Sitting in that boat with all those birds might be a tad more stressful. Or not.
Yes. Me too exactly.
🙂
It is mesmerizing — and the music evokes a sense of peace and calm. Hopefully, that is what the fisherman was feeling too!
Though I do wonder how someone managed to be there at that exact moment in time to film it! Did it take many takes? Did they put something on the water to entice the birds? Does it happen every time the man goes out in his boat and a film-maker heard about it….? So many questions! 🙂
Great questions!
What a mesmerizing short this is – the atmospheric take, the soothing music – and SO different to the gulls I got to know so well when I lived next to the sea….. No shreeking, bomb-diving, just calm, peace, beauty, soothing and wonderful.
Glorious artwork, heavenly serenity – and thanks God I don’t sit with that fisherman in his boat. That would SO freak me out. ‘My’ gulls never behaved so calmly 😉
Smiling. You have such a glorious way of sweeping me away.
Can’t ‘like’ it…. also had to sign in twice…. and first comment (far better!!! 😉 ) disappeared. Shall try to fave later.
Ok!
Love that there is no original sound!! That would have been totally freaky.
Laughing. You might be right!
Wish I could fly into this…
And did anyone figure out the music, love that too. The perfect soundtrack to a dreamy dream.
Beautifully stated. This would be my wish too.
I need to find what music this is! It’s not going to leave me alone.
Shazam doesn’t know either!
It’s Russian!!!
How would you know?!?
The text is in Russian. It translates to ‘mesmerizing’.
Though this might only be a description.
So many beautiful encounters to experience in the world…./// on a different note I’ve been poohed on my birds many times in my life…
Ha!
Re ‘Russian music’: It doesn’t have to necessarily, although the link leads to a Russian (or anything Cyrillic) name. We have sung quite a number of similar dreamy music by Northern and Eastern composers, just thinking of Pärt, Elgar, Aarne, our ‘new’ star Gjeilo, but also Borodin, Rachmaninoff, Adams, Ligeti, Salonen …. I’m definitely more of a Baroque Girl but I love also very much composers such as Tavener and – in a totally different fashion – but incredibly touching and beautiful, our UK Hero John Rutter. So, Sawsan, I would love to invite you to find THAT music and tell us all about it. Or maybe we have somebody speaking and ‘thinking’ Russian who could help us further with this. It would be worthwhile.
Baroque. Hmmm. This is where we part ways.
So, it’s a divorce now! 😉
You sound like my then friend (since HH) when he was greatly astonished to learn that I not only love the Baroque music but also love Jazz, Pop etc…..
Laughing. Ok Ok. I thought you were stuck on Baroque.
You mean, there’s hope for us?! Some light councelling? 😉
FUNNY! there’s light. There’s hope!
Re: Kiki ” Baroque Girl” years ago a local church was dedicating their custom made fancy & amazing pipe organ…we attended. The guest was a professor emeritus visiting from another state…he played all Baroque Music…(my cousin was the Organ Companies Tuner)
