Breath of fresh air

Today I saw my need for a good breath of fresh air.

I saw this on a Korean music video channel. Although the video is beautifully shot I wouldn't have cared for it in the same capacity were there not a story with it. Below is the Arctic man's words along with the link.

"When I was a child we would hunt with a dog sled on the sea ice. For generations we have done this but the ice has failed again this winter. It is rotten and we cannot do anything. It is very difficult for our people today. I cannot tell you what the future brings but if this weather continues...people living around the world in low lands will have big problems."

My favorite detail of the interview is when the man strokes his thumb on the edge of his coat.

Click on the featured video here. The youtube version if your computer doesn't support the video on the website. A beautiful lie
