Long. But worthy. And esp. don’t miss the scenes @ 11m 33 sec.
Notes:
- Post title Inspired by Albert Einstein’s quote: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Miracle. All of It.

Great Einstein-quote, although not even half the quotes attributed to Einstein he has neither said nor written.
Thanks for the YouTube-link.

Klaus; I think THAT quote is truly an Einstein quote. But of course most of all quotes are quoted wrongly…. or were not coined by the author thereof.

I am quite sure because I have visited several times the Einstein Museum in Bern, Switzerland and I should hope THEY knew which quotes to link to him… 😉 Can’t offer you more, sorry.
As an Einstein fan I sincerely hope that that is one of his.

Dear Kiki,
thank you very, very much.
Oh dear, we have to admit we visited the Einstein Museum in Bern as well, but we can’t remember.

Watched from start to finish. Keys to awesome photography include, being at the right place at the right time, being prepared, patience ( remember patience?) and having sleeves. Time for some “bankers ink”, DK 😊

This was an amazing video, and I’m glad you posted it. I have to say though, like many videos nowadays, they added that stupid background noise. In this one I had to fight to shut it out of my head – a constant dundudundundundundundundun. I wanted to shut off my sound but didn’t want to miss what the guy was saying, so I suffered through that. But everything else about the video was really fantastic.

I thought maybe I was being a kook, but I’m glad you agree. It’s such a beautiful video. Too bad he had to put in that background noise. I would rather have heard just the sound of the birds and the waves and his commentary.

Anneli, I have written to Mark Smith and very softly complained about it too. He replied and I shall see if it changes anything in the future. I found the sound of the ocean already more than perfect. We should – with all due reference and politeness – point out this nonsense.

Thanks, Kiki. I didn’t want to mention it at first, but it’s such a beautiful video (if you don’t think about all those poor mullets getting eaten) that I found it a shame to have that annoying background noise. Thanks for taking up the cause.

I haven’t heard from him any more. But we can hope that in the future when he presents his stellar work, he’ll think of that remark and will note that the ambient ocean swells were music enough.

Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been to Florida many times; it’s what Quebecers do, wearing their tiny speedos. Truth is, I dislike that beach vacation scene, not to mention a week in Disney with kids that left me needing a week off to recover. Next time i go, if there is one, will be with my telephoto lens, as far away from the beached Canadians in their little bathing suits and I can manage. 😂
