Naturist Run
Please turn on annotations for this video for a neat story that makes a good case for naturism, or at least the social acceptance of it.
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor, thus, the drops in the music tracks at times, but I can't fix it now without starting all over because the project disappears once you publish it.
No, I'm not in super shape for this, but I guess that's kinda okay and the point, since naturism is about body acceptance.
Here's the story I annotated:
The well-respected mainstream author Howard Fast has a science fiction story entitled The Sight of Eden that offers a poignantly sad appraisal of the human state of mind.
Seven astronauts have just made the first journey to an extrasolar planet. They find a beautiful Eden, with gardens, rivers, fountains - but apparently no inhabitants. Yet there are also beautiful buildings, some of whose corridors are lined with colorful and masterful murals of naked children at play.
On their third day, they are finally greeted by a man, human seemingly just like them. Though he has no name in the usual sense, he goes by Smith for convenience. He reveals that many worlds througout the universe are inhabited by humans just like themselves, and that this whole planet has been set aside and developed as a park.
Smith also reveals, with much sadness, that he is familiar with the history of Earth, its wars, violence, and destruction. Worse, it seems that only on Earth have humans exhibited such pathological behavior. The astronauts from Earth, therefore, are not welcome. They must be confined to their own planet and not allowed to join the rest of galactic society.
Naturally, one of the astronauts objects that the past history of Earth is old and now irrelevant. So Smith demonstrates, simply and elegantly, that this is not the case:
Smith opened his robe, let it slip off his body to the ground, and stood before them naked. The women instinctively turned their heads away. The men reacted in shocked disbelief. Smith picked up his robe and clothed himself again.
You see, he said.
The five men and women stared at him, their eyes full of realization now.
In all the universe, Smith said, there is only one race of man that holds its bodies in shame and contempt. All others walk naked in pride and unashamed. Only Earth has made the image of man into a curse and a shame. What else must I say?
The astronauts comprehend the absurdity and self-loathing implicit in a race of beings which cannot stand to look at themselves as they really are.

150th Birthday Clifton Suspension Bridge Fireworks Bristol 2014
Found the footage I took from my apartment in Clifton of the 150th Birthday of the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol December 8th 2014!
The first half is blurry because I purposely did it I loved the effect! Secondly I took pictures throughout. So you will hear snap shots of when I did.
Opened in 1864.
Throughout its existence, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, 245 feet above the Avon Gorge linking Bristol with Somerset, has been wowing passers-by.
'It may not be the oldest suspension bridge in the world, let alone the longest or the highest. But even blasé, seen-it-all 21st-century travellers are still struck by the drama of the setting. That’s why it draws half a million visitors a year (a smart new visitor centre opens today).' - The Daily Mail
