Planet Earth

I just watched the first couple episodes of a new Discovery Channel mini-series called Planet Earth. I've been seeing the ads for it for months now and the previews had some spectacular footage so I thought I'd check it out. Each "episode" focuses on a certain type of geographical feature or category (i.e. "Mountains", "The Ocean", etc) and the images they've captured are just spectacular. It took them five years to film and put this thing together and it's well worth checking out. Especially interesting is the little bit at the end of each episode where they go into what it took to get some of the shots they did, most of them being stuff that's never been captured on film before. The series just started this Sunday and I think they're rerunning last week's episodes this Sunday afternoon if you're interested.
