Running Deer Leaps In Front Speeding Car — Just Missing Being Hit

 Hi!

Earlier this year — I posted a video of an elk running along side a car driving along a roadway and then leaping over the road right in front of the car.

I just found a video so similar at first I thought it was the same one — only reversed from left to right.

But after taking a closer look — it's clear this is a different one.

: )

Screen Capture Sequence From The Video Below

Quote From the Original Up-loader's Description:

"On November 12, 2018, a very unexpected situation occurred in Golina Wielka, Poland.  I recorded a deer running along the car. After a short moment, the deer jumped over the [road right in front of the car]."

Even though I don't understand what they're saying in the video — I love their surprised reactions!

Hope you enjoy this too.

AWESOME Dystopian Animation: Smart Phone Age

Hi!

Today I'll share two animations in the order I discovered them—because while the quality of the first video is low-fi—I prefer its blue tint and music over the "official" version.

Screen Captures From The First Video Below

If you are already familiar with very early animation—you'll immediately see that it re-creates the character stylings, look and feel of those OLD light-hearted efforts from Betty Boop to Disney and Popeye, etc—but adds a very dark twist with the content shining a light on modern society's murky fixation with smart phones, selfies, social media, swiping left and right, and celebrity—and the way far too many are sleep-walking through lives while glued to electronic devices. 

It has a decidedly dark edge to it—and I love it.

Hope you enjoy this as well.

-------------------------------------------

BTW—the music bed in this first one (which is a bit discordant in the beginning) starts after about 8 seconds.....





And the "official" version of this animation.

Video: Alexander The Great In Less Than 14 Minutes

Hello,

Today I'll share another video about ancient history: The 9 Lives of Alexander the Great
 — highlights Alexander's military conquests and triumphs as he stormed across the map.

Inspiring devotion and loyalty from his army — he leaped into battle — often fighting ferociously against insurmountable odds — and leading by example by being first into the front lines of many fights.

Along the way Alexander suffered grievous wounds and nearly died many times — so there is irony in his final death from fever once he had returned home again and had ended his military conquests.

The video is narrated well and is filled with graphics that help explain this history of one of the world's most well known and celebrated leaders.

Enjoy!




Thanks as always for stopping by!

Video: History Of Ancient Greece In 18 Minutes

Hi!

Recently — I posted a very interesting video made by Arzamas called History Of Ancient Rome In 20 Minutes.

Today I'll share another video of theirs — this time on the History of Greece.

Just 18 minutes long — the video quickly moves through historical aspects of Ancient Greece such as "Homer, The Minotaur, the 300 Spartans, Greek Theater, the Parthenon, the foundations of Democracy," and Alexander the Great — encapsulating pre-Greek history through it's historical end — to the fledgling rise of Rome as a super-power.

Screen Capture From The Video Below — Showing The Boundaries Of Classical Greek Culture

As with the last video this one is Narrated by Brian Cox — who has an engaging delivery and voice — and the video is filled with maps, graphics, and images — and has a light feel with some humorous touches.

I hope you'll enjoy the video as much as I do.

Video: Rare White Moose In Sweden

Video Below

----------------------------------

Hi!

If you've visited this blog before — you're probably already aware that I love animals of all kinds — from the smallest to the largest.

I do have to admit however — that there is something special to me about the large woodland creatures found in forests around the world — like deer, elk, moose, and bears.

While not dramatic — today's video features AWESOME footage of a rare white moose in Sweden.

Screen Capture From The Video

According to the video's description: "Despite being completely [white, they] are not considered albino, but rather piebald."

I'm not certain about this because the definition found on Wikipedia seems to indicate that piebald coloring has patches of both pigmented and un-pigmented coloring — the the moose in this video is completely white.

I'll leave it to others to argue those merits — and instead let the video of this unique and amazing animal speak for itself.

Enjoy!
