| Description: | 'PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD'. In Vienna, Austria, we see several shots of an elephants playing instruments in a 'jazz band' - in fact the music is more like traditional Austrian stuff, not jazz! A small crowd watches while the elephants beat drums, dance in time with bells on their feet, turn a handle to crash cymbals and so on. (Same as catalog # 312473) In Sofia, Bulgaria we see the cultivation of roses for perfume - attar of roses. Nice shots of roses growing and men planting briar seeds. Seedlings are transplanted and roses grafted on, then the flowers are harvested. | |
