Now @ 0:50 he speaks of Light Sensitive Cameras. And I would think that if they can afford expensive Light Sensitive Cameras then they could afford to put a Roof over those Caribou's heads, and be seen putting " a Log into a Fireplace " ! [ And while we're at it a Couch for those creatures wouldn't be out of hand either ! ]
It might even be better for the reindeer because moving creates warmth. Though these fellas have so thick fur that they can even survive in - 70 temperatures.
I totally appreciate what you're saying Dipak, this is my favourite of Gordon Buchanan's incredible journeys. From start to finish, it's mesmerising & magical. Truly wonderful.
Is snowflakes dandruff from the gods? Is it chafing from the moon? Can you hear the melody as it drops? Severed by branches, spreads white sheet over the land. Gathers on guardian fence, both watches them prepare for journey at hand. Through nostrils reindeer sniffs in the earth, her antlers tilt over the stars. Winter shorten the days, dimming light strengthen blueness in her eyes.
This Californian is so happy to not have to deal with snow on a regular basis! That said, my small Northern Californian coastal town did have an ice storm last year, which was spectacular and short-lived-the perfect combo.
Personally I couldn't imagine a year without snow. No snowballs, snow angels, snowmen, ice lanterns and sledge rides with the young relatives. No cross-country skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, rolling in snow after sauna, snowshoe walking or simply admiring the beauty and brightness of the white pristine snowy forests. How do you cope with the uncomfortably hot temperatures in California? My brain just melts when it's rarely over +25C (+77F).
@@suakeli I cope by having lived most of by adult life in San Francisco (Mark Twain: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco”) and now I live a couple hundred miles up from there on the north coast, where anything over 70°F is a heatwave. I grew up in the Bay Area-mostly the South Bay where it can get quite hot-and we used to play in the sprinklers, and my grandparents 30 miles north had a swimming pool. I know that hot weather is more likely to kill a person than cold, but as a young woman, I was very thin (by nature, not dieting) and I have low blood pressure, so my hands and feed were always, always, always cold. It’s still true to a degree, but not like when I was young because I weigh twice what I should. A couple of years ago we had an ice storm up here in coastal Mendocino County, and I hadn’t realized it because when I fell asleep it had just started to hail, so when I stepped onto the porch in the morning I slid all the way across it, and when I finally made my way down the stairs, my car was encased in ice. But the sun was up and in a few minutes the ice had melted enough that I could get the door open and drive to work. It was pretty cool looking, but the ice was gone by 9:00, and I was relieved not to have to worry about breaking any bones or putting out the big bucks to heat my apartment. So, no thanks to snow.
@@suakeli As a person who has grown up and spent most of my life in northern Sweden, and 6 months in California, I would definitely choose their yearly weather over ours all day. The only exception is having snow on Christmas (can't have Christmas without snow) and our summers. There is no better summer than under a 24 hour sun, honestly.
I wanted to love this so much; they're such remarkable animals. But the first reindeer in the line of two was limping at the trot, and both of their head collars seemed so tight that they appeared to be digging into their foreheads. One I saw this, I couldn't enjoy the gorgeous film. I hope I'm wrong on both counts!
