Homo Viator

I had lost my interest in wild animals after my last "serious" visit to the zoo, which was probably at around age 10. A safari in South Africa had sparked my fascination again. The lodge I stayed at had one ranger per room, which meant that you would spent the whole day with a seemingly omniscient animal aficionado. The evenings we sat around the fire, drinking whiskey and discussing how animal behavior in the wild shared and contrasted to human characteristics. The video below shows how the power of many can prevail over the power of the strong. This could be a promotional video for the attac troublemakers that have promised to disrupt the quiet and peaceful North of Germany over the next week. ;-)
I did not see anything like what you will see below, but I know that this was not my last safari.

The blog is back to full action, this time for good. I will tell you tomorrow why that is and leave you today with a beautiful little clip on womens' portraits in Western art.

What a patience! This video is quite impressive and proves how technically advanced the amateur videos on YouTube are getting.
