Sunrise Earth: National Parks [Blu-ray]

Hoping Gaiam releases more Sunrise Earth episodes...
First I have to say, I'm a huge fan of Sunrise Earth which used to air in the mornings on Discovery HD Theater before it became the Velocity channel. I own all the Sunrise Earth releases and often spend a weekend morning with a Sunrise Earth blu-ray and a cup of coffee. The aim of these programs is to provide an as-if-you-were-there-at-sunrise experience in super clear HD with only ambient sound. No music, no voice-over, just as close to a first-hand experience as possible.
After watching Gaiam's preview video, my guess is that this blu-ray will be a re-package of four previously released Sunrise Earth episodes, "Island First Light" (Acadia National Park, Maine), "Yellowstone Geysers", "Yosemite Dawn" and "Everglades: River of Grass". These are all excellent Sunrise Earth episodes, visually stunning in gorgeous HD. I recommend this video to anyone who doesn't already own these episodes.
I am also HOPING that this disk will include "High Desert Arches" (Arches National Park)...

Collection, not new
Has three previously released Blu-ray single disks, edited to fit on a single disk. It doesn't make for a bad purchase because if you didn't buy the single disks you will be stunned by the natural beauty that was captured in HD. No new footage, but still glorious.
