A missing clip from a Tarkovsky film perhaps...

[MikeNature]

I would be lying if I claimed to have known of Andrei Tarkovsky before now. You did however inspire me to do a little searching so now I know he was a famous Russian filmmaker known for his metaphysical themes, extremely long takes, and memorable images of exceptional beauty. Thank you for your kind comment. I shall study Tarkovsky more and maybe learn something from his memorable cinematic style.

You're welcome, thank you for commenting.

This place must have listened to La Mer, in order to look so beautiful....

[MikeNature]

Thank you for your nice comment. We do have a beautiful coast. Sometimes it's said around here 'When I die, I want to go to TEXAS'

7:40 is incredible

@MikeNature Tarkovsky is amazing, and although everyone raves about "Stalker" (which is great), I would highly recommend seeing "Childhood of Ivan."

MikeNature, who is the orchestra/conductor? The curiosity is intense.

Tranquility!

This video is great. It reminds me of being on drugs in San Francisco and staring at the Pacific for hours at the outer edge of the Sunset district. But in reverse! Ahhhhhh... those were fun days. Now, Debussy is my occasional high..

This is exactly where my ancestor's came (in a boat) when they first came to Texas. They were from the East Coast. East Texas is so thick with forests (called Big Thicket Natl Forest now] they couldn't pull their wagons, nor get their horses/oxen thru East Texas.

They had to sail from New Orleans to the Gulf, around to Port Aransas on Texas coast. From there, they used flatboats to come up the Colorado River to what is now called Austin. Coastal populated first.

I like that you chose in include people with the ocean, and that you chose to show the ocean just by itself too. it worked well with the debussy
