5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing Waters California and Oregon Beaches, December 4, 2003

Well I finally gave in and ordered this and I have to say I'm very pleased with what I saw.The picture is sharp and the sound is great.This dvd features coastal views of California and Orgeon and is just accompined by natural sounds.I liked the whole disc but I had some favorite chapters.

1)My favorite scene in this chapter was a overlook of Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park South Of Big Sur California.It shows a small beach and a waterfall.This waterfall isn't a waterfall caused by ocean waves as they pound rocks but it is a waterfall that falls into the sea off of a cliff or mountain.Although it is hard to see thru the fog and mist it's still a beautiful site and if you have a zoom feature on your player you can see a little more detail.Also you here waterfall and ocean sounds at the same time when the waterfall is falling into the ocean.

4)Point Lobos California This features some huge waves crashing against rocks and minature waterfalls caused by waves hitting rocks.

7)Oregon Coast This has some massive coastal rocks mostley in the ocean and the waves hitting these rocks are so beautiful.

Aside from ocean sounds I heard sea lions but didn't see any.I also heard some gulls in chapter 8 but didn't see any.The wind on this dvd actually sounds like thunder but I didn't here it but twice.The oceanviews change every 20 seconds.This is very peaceful.There's no people,traffic sounds,music or narration just the breathtaking sounds of the ocean.This is like taking a solitary vacation on a beach.If your landlocked and no where near the ocean I highley recommend it.This dvd has everything lapping waves,big crashing waves,waterfalls,huge boulders,wind and mist and fog but only a few scenes are misty and foggy.The only problem I noticed with this dvd is the spine on the keep case.Soothing Waters is written upside down.Because of this I will have to store it upside down so it will go with my other dvds.Also the producer plans to do more beaches as well as waterfalls around the world I hope he will do Niagara Falls.That would be a most perfect dvd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Beautiful - Very Relaxing - Very Special, April 22, 2003

By 

Wallace Jones (Andover, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soothing Waters - California and Oregon (DVD)

I have serious problems getting to sleep. I also have a very stress-filled job that probably contributes to my sleep problem. A doctor friend of mine recommended that I find some sort of ocean wave sound CD or DVD to help me relax a bit in the evening.

Through an on-line search for "Relaxation Videos" I came upon the Soothing Waters - California and Oregon DVD, and it seemed like what I was looking for. Not only was it just what I needed to help me get to sleep, but the scenes are really quite beautiful, and the combination of scenery and sounds are very soothing and relaxing.

With the help of this DVD I can now get to sleep very easily, partly because it helps me to wipe away the stress of the day so that I am not worried when I go to bed. It is really the only DVD in my large collection that I find myself watching over and over again. In addition to the healthful stress-reduction benefits, I suppose one of the reasons I can watch it so many times is that there is no dialog or music to remember and get tired of. It's just gorgeous coastal scenery, and wonderful ocean, bird, and wind sounds that make me feel like I am lying beside the ocean. I can't think of a better way to relax.

This review is from: Soothing Waters - California and Oregon (DVD)

I had never watched an ocean DVD that did not have additional music added to "help" my enjoyment. "Soothing Waters" is wonderful as it allows you to hear just the natural sounds of nature; the waves, the wind, the seagulls, etc. I bought this DVD to recapture the feel of the California coast. I recently moved from Pacific Grove to Ohio and I find myself missing the ocean quite a bit. This DVD is superb in its realism and beauty of the Central coast area. It is so real that I found myself doing the same thing that I did in California---- looking for sea otters. I am sure that they are there.

As for soothing, it is indeed that. If one falls asleep, no problem as you can start all over another time. I find that I skip around to my favorite places. I love "Soothing Waters" as it fills a place in my life that I cannot have unless I return to the Monterey Peninsula.

David Keith has done a great job in his choice of locations. He allows you to be drawn into the feeling of each place without interruption by anything. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has the slightest interest in relaxing by the ocean's edge.
