Yellowstone - if you think it's cold and snowy here...

Postby Amy » Mon Dec 20, 2010 2:12 pm

The nature programme on Yellowstone National Park is being repeated on BBC2 tonight, Wednesday and Thursday.

It was really stunning and lots of people really enjoyed it - so if you missed it, it really is worth watching :D

I thought about mentioning that - for me it was that diamond glitter effect as the air froze :shock: Deadly but so beautiful.

Anyway, 7pm tonight.

We had this last year while skiing over the Chrristmas, it was weird walking through it.

These can give some stunning circular rainbows. Seen them a couple of times whilst snowboarding.

Thanks for the tip off, good programme. Glad I'm not a bison.

:D Looked like fun but I don't know about dream job. I think the novelty would wear off on me, 40+ days to clear one roof!

Great point-up, Amy,really enjoyed part 1. those natural hazards to life put townie problems like dealing with BA and Southern Rail into perspective! My dog got somewhat disturbed at the wolf howls.

Great programme. Loved the expressions on those otters' faces when Wile E Coyote got their salmon. And the roof guy - what a great job!

The implication is that you didn't :lol:

My cat was briefly attracted to the screen when they should the carcass covered with magpies flitting about.

Good to hear others enjoyed it - 2nd episode tonight and final one tomorrow. They are all good but I do think the first one was the best :shock:

I did enjoy it too. It doesn't seem that long ago it was on and so it was very familiar. The cats watch most things on TV but do prefer wildlife programs, they have their own seats in front of the TV :)
