  • I feel special because Ive been to some of the places they showed, but several years later... and it still looks the same. =)

  • Really nice shots-crisp whites and intense blacks. Crazy footage at 2:30 of people feeding baby bears-4 min planes fly over-8:20 deer-9 min sled dogs and 11:30 skiing. Great compilation!

  • this is the digital age for sure..

  • Great view of Yosemite Falls! We are covered in snow now. I'll send you a video from tunnel view in winter of the valley in snow. Amazing how the seasons dramatically change Yosemite each year. It is an amazing place.

  • @CoryTheRaven THANKS YES...oops....i hear you, humans are so stupid sometimes, bear baiting, and other ridiculous torture of animals, id even choose a majority of dogs over some people!

  • @flyinghotwing LoL, no worries. I work at an acredited zoo and we have one of the lucky grizzly bears who the nat'l park was able to find a home for. If we weren't able to take him, he would have been put down. It chokes me every time I go to the park and see idiots harassing and feeding the wildlife, because I know it ends with the animal's death (when it should be the idiots being put down).

  • any time you have violence between human and animal i go for the animal

  • @CoryTheRaven dude what was i smokin thatnite?. sound like a freekin treehugger,thanks for the info, it sounds logical as stated, my bad!

  • @flyinghotwing If you feed a bear, you are helping to habituate it to the idea that human beings are a source of food. You are not "communing with nature", you are civilizing a wild animal. But it is still a wild animal driven by instincts to survive. Habituated bears are known to rumage through campsites and attack people who do not provide them with food. That is why national parks in the US and Canada actively discourage engaging bears, fine people who do, and have to execute habituated bears

  • @BW92116 Castle Films specialized in the home movie market. This was probably a 8mm or 16mm reel sold as a souvenir. Since home projectors were not equipped with sound, this would not have had a soundtrack.
