• BONUS DISC: National Parks Symphony
"National Parks Symphony" is unique. It was filmed by one man - nature photographer Russ Finley - over a period of fifteen years. In a world of rushed deadlines, Russ's cinematography is a study in enduring patience - up before the sun each day, living and breathing the park for months on end, waiting alone for just the right shot, just the right light, just the right moment. From Russ's amazing library of cinematography Finley-Holiday Films has edited a mesmerizing vision of these natural and cultural treasures. Here, in this collection of inspirational music videos, is Russ's labor of love - an intimate portrait of America's national parklands.
