Our local newspaper has a feature similar to this thread, but they included raves as well as rants. So, in typical mobileread fashion, here's a subversion:
Rave: The current US public broadcasting miniseries "The National Parks: America's Best Idea". The first two of 6 episodes have aired, and the photography is beautiful. The story is inspiring, and well done in typical Ken Burns fashion. For those overseas, you should be able to find a dvd to order, but I don't know if you can get it in a compatible format. You definitely want to watch this on a hi-def TV screen. For those who have missed it, it should be replayed soon, and probably again nearer to christmas.
Every park mentioned so far makes me want to go visit (again, if I've been already), and as a fumble-fingered photographer, I drool at the colors and light these folks have achieved.
