This series presents stunningly beautiful images that will leave an everlasting impression on the viewer, such as those of the many religious settings in India, a Spanish city where people live in the midst of amazing historical sites, and remains of Imperial China that can take us back through 3,000 years of history. 26-minute and 5-minute versions are available.
