The Sunrise Earth Portraits of our Planet DVD takes you around the world at dawn. Wake up with the creatures that inhabit some of the planet's most beautiful places: Siam, China; Venice; New Zealand, Peru. The Sunrise Earth DVD shows you morning like you've never seen it before, from a global naturalist's perspective. DISCOVERY EXCLUSIVE! The Sunrise Earth Portraits of our Planet DVD collection includes five great episodes: Everglades River of Grass: Pahayokee, Everglade National Park, Florida. Savannah-like open sawgrass prairie stretches as far as the eye can see, punctuated by the occasional cypress tree. Beneath the apparent prairie, however, is a wide river flowing at a speed of more than one mile per hour: Marjorie Stoneham Douglas' famous "River of Grass." The Sunrise Earth DVD shows that this exact Pahayokee platform was this writer's most frequented Everglades destination. To better observe the workings of the underwater world, we submerge a camera and peer directly into the lives of mosquito fish and the enriching mat-like algae known as periphyton. Insects traverse the razor sharp strands of grass as the weather changes. The Sunrise Earth DVD continues with: Buddhists of Wat Svay: Siem Reap, China. Every culture has its own connection to the natural world at dawn. In Siem Reap, Cambodia, the chants of monks echo from within a Theravada Buddhist monastery, called a "wat." The nature DVD shows that these chants help start the day by focusing the monks' attention. Potential distractions are many; unlike the cloistered monastic retreats of the west, the Wat Svay compound is at the community hub, at its central cross-road. Yet despite busy human activity, the peaceful influence and presence of the natural world remains near for the focused mind. The wildlife DVD finds a vibrant pigeon roost on the pagoda's rooftop, amidst ornamental carvings that depict serpent figures called "nagas," protectors from the earth. School children wander among the votive "stupas," maintaining the grounds. And as the monks honor their lineage of spiritual teachers, a spectacular rainbow reveals itself high over the temple, one of those fabulous early morning rainbows with a steeper arc than rainbows that occur near mid-day. The Sunrise Earth Portraits of our Planet DVD set continues with: Peruvian Rainforest Canopy: Tambopata, Peru. Two hundred feet high in the canopy of Peruvian rainforest, a pink and distant light encroaches. The dense forest holds the dawn air. Birds sing alone, together a purple-throated cotinga, then a distant flycatcher. The Sunrise Earth DVD takes you along as butterflies gather nectar. The high canopy teems with insects oblivious as the sun ascends. Rosy light splashes the sky, and the sun pushes its way into the forest. The nature DVD shows a blue-headed parrot collecting twigs for her nest and a cobalt-winged parakeet pulling at the white seed masses of a kapok tree feeding and pollinating at the same time. As the sun
