Images are good, Sound and Editing are terrible
29 September 2019
The sound is merely trite, but the editing is atrocious. It's like the editor wants to constantly tease you with the evolving nature of beauty only to snatch you away before the climax, over and over and over again. I would say 90% of the scenes end right before completion - either right before a flower or fern settles into full bloom or right before you crest the mountain you've been traveling along. It's a weird sort of torture. If only they had let us linger a beat or two in these beautiful places, it would have been spectacular.

Another problem with the editing is that the content jumps from location to location with no apparently connection. You could tell a story with nature images and music but there is no story being told here; it's just a random assortment of seemingly disconnected pretty places.

The images are gorgeous, after all, these are beautiful places. Some of them are even stunning, especially the close ups of waves, flowers, mushrooms, or birds. Unfortunately, a lot of the series comes from drone pass-overs. Not that these aren't beautiful but they just feel very distant.

Overall, the series leaves you feeling like a visitor, like you're driving by on the highway almost, instead of giving you a feeling of intimacy or connection with the natural world. Very disappointing.
