Wonderful pictures of beauty - mystery of life, 31 July 2009
9/10
Author: martin-krueger from Florence Italy

This is one of the most wonderful documentary productions I have ever seen.

Surprising facts (like the Cordiceps mushrooms which grow within insects, for example ants, firstly misleading their brains, then killing the ants, then growing out of their heads).

Beautiful, striking pictures of male birds trying to enchant the females. Amazing pictures of frog females hypnotized by the strongest voice of what is supposed to be the best frog.

But for instance wonderful pictures of natural life, as the growing of plants and mushrooms. These scenes are also apt to be seen by little children of only three, four, five years as I experienced switching off the audio and putting a CD in my player. The kids were fascinated and continuously asked me questions, while I myself invented a children apt audio improvising on this wonderful pictures.
