Cave of Forgotten Dreams



Last night Seba and I watched this awe-inspiring documentary by the great German director Werner Herzog.
He was allowed to film in the normally inaccessible Chauvet Cave, home to an extraordinary bestiary
 of hundreds of animal wall paintings created around 35,000 years ago. These beautiful and stunning
artworks are the oldest visual representations known to have been created by man.
What an astonishing journey into the mysterious world of our collective ancestors!

Wild love in San Francisco



While we are on the subject of parrots, I want to recommend this lovely documentary
 about the friendship between a bohemian dropout and a flock of wild parrots.
Sweet, funny, moving, and inspirational!
