YouTube never fails to amaze me. Yes, it's the source of lots of odd funny stuff (like the Darth Vader video I posted a while back) and nostalgic stuff (old commercials). But there's also some nice peaceful stuff.

If you search on "peaceful" you can turn up a variety of videos of just landscape video with or without quiet New-Age style music.

Some of them are quite long - nearly 1/2 hour. This is one of the shorter ones but it's also very pretty. I'm going to keep these in mind for times at work when I'm close to losing my cool, if I can go in my office and shut the door and watch one of these videos it would probably restore my balance. Or for when I feel like I need a pseudo-mini-vacation.



The person who took the video said it's a 10 mile hike in to actually see these. And I'm not sure how easy it is for non-Havasu to get permission to go in that area (When my dad was taking trips through Colorado and Utah with students, there were certain places the tribes really didn't want people going, as they were sacred to the tribes, and my dad and his students always respected their requests). But if it were possible to go there...well, I'd like to go there someday. Even if it means a 10 mile hike in hot weather.
