Spectacular Scenery and SO Relaxing! by teri775 (Midwest, USA)  5 Stars
June 25, 2008
The California Coastal Wildlife & Waterfalls DVD is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC on an ipod for relaxing at bedtime, or for relaxing anywhere. I bought it and watch it on my ipod at night, in a darkened room, and it lulls me to sleep. I love that there's no music --- just the sounds of the water and birds.
The scenery is unbelievably beautiful and the pictures very clear. For most scenes I feel as if I'm right there, surrounded by so much natural beauty.
The scenes showing seals (or perhaps they're sea lions?) cavorting are mostly very sweet (moms and babies) but I do wonder why the producer included some footage of a few seals sort of fighting, and a mother seal actually giving birth. Those scenes somewhat interrupted the overall tranquility of the DVD but they were very brief --- possibly less than a minute each.
I did not enjoy the free bonus DVD "California Dreams" which is on the flip side of the DVD. I prefer nature scenes so I didn't really like watching waves under a bridge and sailboats. Also, the beach scenes on the "California Dreams" free bonus DVD seemed a bit boring.
However, I cannot say enough good things about the "California Coastal Wildlife & Waterfalls" DVD --- especially if you intend to watch it on an ipod or on your computer. Those are the only two ways I viewed it. I'm sure it would also be relaxing viewed on a regular TV screen.
Before purchasing this DVD I read the Amazon reviews and watched available clips posted for these Greg Voevodsky DVDs. It was hard to decide which one to buy. I am very happy with the DVD I chose and encourage interested buyers to view the clips first.
Thank you Greg Voevodsky for this spectacular, relaxing DVD.

Would be good, minus the sea lions by cr  3 Stars
January 23, 2008
I purchased this DVD for a relaxation room at my workplace and I thought it was great until it got to the scene with the sea lions. Watching them roll around in the mud and fight with one another was not very soothing for me! If there was a way to delete that scene, I would be happy. For right now, I'm stuck explaining to everyone who uses the relaxation room, "Just don't get too relaxed while watching that DVD, because the sea lions will freak you out!" Oh well.

Very Relaxing...widescreen would be nice by A Tech Dad (San Francisco, CA)  4 Stars
May 10, 2007
The picture is amazing...very sharp. These are real scenes of beautiful beaches, coastlines and waterfalls. If you want something with that wow effect for your new TV it is definitely worth the money.
Downside: It's not widescreen. Expanding the image can make it look wide or fuzz the edges, which is not what you want when showing off that new widescreen HD flatscreen.

'ware the sea lions! by L. Bass (US) 4 Stars
December 18, 2006
I liked my Hawaiian Dream dvd so much, I purchased this California Coastal Wildlife and Waterfalls. They are both wonderful, but I would have liked to see more waterfalls and bubbling brooks in this one, and fewer waves. Another viewer commented that the sea lion scene is visually disturbing; I'll add that the sound of the animals barking is sharp and discordant--always wakes me up if I'm drowsing.
