Thought I'd share this here.
Cinematography is excellent.
Enjoy!

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)

I love that video!

here is another of my favorites. It's a trip report from the 30's with a group of guys running from Norway into Sweden on old wooden skiis. The commentary is in swedish.
It is 15 min. long and the real action starts after 10.

That's such a great video, more like a mini movie. Didn't think I'd watch the entire clip (14min in the internet world is eternity :-) ) You got to wonder how long they were in the mountains by the age of the puppies at the end.

Also smoking in bed can cause fires :-D (about 9min mark)

I know, 15 minutes is an eternity on the web. They, on the other hand, walk 40 km a day for about a month. A 1000 kilometer backcountry trip in the mountains between Norway and Sweden. The speaker says its the best way to loose weight..

Funny, I was thinking the same thing (about losing weight).

Is there a part II to this video? I'm fully expecting to see them in the park. This film rocks!!!
