O/T: Ken Burns

The man has done it again.

His series of documentary films on the Nat'l Park system are currently
running on PBS.

If you get a chance, it is some very interesting stuff IMHO.

Burns did a nice 60 min. documentary on the Shakers. A lot of
libraries will have copies.

It's called "The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God."

Yeah, it's been pretty good stuff with only minimal political subtext.
However, I think Ken's template created with the Civil War series is
wearing a bit thin. Let's see, slow violin music, a voice over of a
gravely voiced or properly accented speaker, panning over a black and
white photo and all the time, everything is grandeous.

If you think the series is nice you would have loved the 5 days I
spent backpacking in the Yosemite backlands a few weeks ago. I had
made the 18 mile round trip one day hike up Half Dome from the valley
floor back earlier in July. However, when I returned on this latest
trip (I make several a year) and on day 4 we summited Clouds Rest,
1,000+ feet higher than Half Dome and looking down on it from just a
few miles away, it was a great place to have lunch with a 360 degree
view.

I agree whole heartedly. It is TV worth watching. Burns seems to be
able to focus on the subject and pass along interesting information
while entertaining.
