    I was the pilot, aerial cinematographer, and designer of the camera mount that was used to shoot this video. What a great time that was in my life. Thanks, Dave, Paul, and Jan Nickman for the opportunity to work on this project. I loved being 10 feet off the ground and going 200 MPH...

      Thanks for dropping by, Rick! The aerial work you did was incredible and contributed so much to Desert Vision and Natural States. I see that Jeff Mart, who did all the Steadicam filming on the ground, passed in 2009. I was not aware. Glad to know you are still in flight.

    When I was in kindergarten, my teacher told us to put our heads down, turned off the lights, and told us to image ourselves as eagles flying over the desert. She played this song... Probably the best memory of my childhood. 17 years later I still do that sometimes to relax...

      Great story. I was about 30 when I first heard this. I'm 67 as I write. It's always been one of my favorites. I'm a musician and photographer. I'd love to use modern equipment and take the music more prog rock in a remake of this incredible album.

    I realized that most of the videos I have on this channel were uploaded when youtube had a 100mb limit so I had to keep the file size under that which affected the quality. Of course, that means I would have to re-render all the videos at a higher bit rate and upload again. Gonna have to think about that...

    The first time I was treated to this amazing collaboration was on video back in the 80's while it was playing in the back of a Radio Shack store. I was instantly captivated by the stunningly beautiful inspirational music and the awesome dream like aerial views of the desert southwest. I bought it and eventually wore it out by playing it each morning as an accompaniment to my exercise routine. Even after hundreds of viewings, I still find it mesmerizing, illuminating and relevant...

    A friend visiting on vacation went record shopping while in town. He put this on my stereo to "test" it before leaving town, and that's when I heard it for the first time. It was love at first listen, and that's so rare. I ran out right away to buy this and Natural States, and then later, the videos. Music this beautiful should never be allowed to go out of print!

    I regularly see eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures, all Birds of Prey at work. It is amazing watching their heads moving as their wings are afloat. I work in Northern Colorado near the Wyoming border, approx. 6, 000 feet elevation. If they are in the sky, it's a good day. It means prey is underfoot.

    High Fllight
    Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
    Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
    Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
    You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
    High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
    I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
    My eager craft through footless halls of air.
    Up, up the long, delirious burning blue,
    I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
    Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
    And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
    The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
