Viewing Notes:

"Starts with the bare trees against sky. Branches over water; slow-moving river, silhouette of leaves over contre-jour shot of water. Lily pads on water. Small waterfall. Seawater wash. Rock arch. Lazy wavelets at shoreline. Rock stack. Wheatfield - close-up of wind in ears of wheat. Sea waves breaking over rocks. Windswept branches and leaves. Inland waters. Long sequence of increasingly violent waves against rocks, including slow-motion shot. Shoreline waves ebb and flow. Tree reflections on inland waters. Ends with flowers and trees in close-ups."
