Aspoň ma v tomu duchu ako Indiánku z kmeňa Shinnecock vychovali.
00:16
As a Shinnecock Indian, I was raised to know this.

We are a small fishing tribe

Sme malý rybársky kmeň
00:21
situated on the southeastern tip of Long Island

z juhovýchodného cípu Long Island
00:24
near the town of Southampton in New York.

When I was a little girl,
5
15910
2470
Keď som bola malá,
00:30
my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day.
6
18380

v jeden horúci letný deň som sedela na slnku so starým otcom.
00:35
There were no clouds in the sky.
7
23728
3554
Na nebi neboli žiadne oblaky.
00:39
And after a while I began to perspire.
8
27282
3171
Po chvíli som sa začala potiť
00:42
And he pointed up to the sky, and he said,
9
30453
3526
a starý otec ukazujúc na nebo mi povedal:
00:45
"Look, do you see that?
10
33979
2848
„Pozri, vidíš to?
00:48
That's part of you up there.
11
36827
2119
Tam hore je aj kúsok teba.
00:50
That's your water that helps to make the cloud
12
38946
2915
Aj tvoja voda pomáha vytvoriť oblak,
00:53
that becomes the rain that feeds the plants
13
41861
4273
z ktorého padá dážď, ktorý živí rastliny
00:58
that feeds the animals."
14

a tie sú potravou pre zvieratá."
01:01
In my continued exploration of subjects in nature
15
49920
2992
Počas môjho neprestávajúceho skúmania objektov prírody,
ktoré sú schopné preukázať prepojenie všetkého živého,
01:04
that have the ability to illustrate the interconnection of all life,
16
52912

01:09
I started storm chasing in 2008
17
57328
2701
v roku 2008 som začala naháňať búrky potom,
01:12
after my daughter said, "Mom, you should do that."
18
60029
3868
ako mi dcéra povedala: „Mami, mala by si to robiť."
01:15
And so three days later, driving very fast,
19
63897
6211
Tri dni na to, počas rýchlej jazdy,
01:22
I found myself stalking a single type of giant cloud called the super cell,
20
70108
7260
uvedomila som si, že prenasledujem jeden veľký oblak nazývaný supercela.
01:29
capable of producing grapefruit-size hail
21
77368
4451
Ten dokáže vytvoriť krúpy o veľkosti grapfruitu
01:33
and spectacular tornadoes,
22
81819
1993
a ohromné tornáda.
01:35
although only two percent actually do.
23
83812
6306
Hoci iba 2% to naozaj dokážu.
01:42
These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide
24
90118
5144
Tieto oblaky môžu byť obrovské, široké až 80 km,
01:47
and reach up to 65,000 feet into the atmosphere.
25
95262
4066
a v atmosfére dosahujú takmer 200 000 m.
01:51
They can grow so big, blocking all daylight,
26
99328
2374
Môžu byť také veľké, že zaclonia denné svetlo
01:53
making it very dark and ominous standing under them.
27
101702
5124
a ak stojíte pod nimi, všetko je zrazu temné a hrôzostrašné.
01:58
Storm chasing is a very tactile experience.
28
106826
2902
Naháňanie búrok je veľmi kontaktný zážitok.
02:01
There's a warm, moist wind blowing at your back
29
109728
4267
Na chrbát vám fúka teplý, vlhký vietor,
02:05
and the smell of the earth, the wheat, the grass, the charged particles.
30
113995
6702
cítite vôňu zeme, obilia, trávy, nabitých častíc.
02:12
And then there are the colors in the clouds
31
120697
3397
Ďalej sú to farby oblakov
02:16
of hail forming, the greens and the turquoise blues.
32
124094
5190
tvoriace krupobitie: odtiene zelenej a tyrkysovo modrej.
02:21
I've learned to respect the lightning.
33
129284
3278
Naučila som, že k bleskom treba mať rešpekt.
02:24
My hair used to be straight.
34
132562
2134
Moje vlasy boli kedysi rovné.
02:26
(Laughter)
35
134696
1424
(smiech)
02:28
I'm just kidding.
36
136120
1624
Len srandujem.
02:29
(Laughter)
37
137744
2142
02:31
What really excites me about these storms
38
139886
3176
Čo ma naozaj fascinuje na búrkach
02:35
is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate,
39
143062
4217
je ich pohyb. Spôsob, ako sa víria, točia a vlnia
02:39
with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds.
40
147279
4018
s guľovitými oblakmi v tvare lávových lámp.
02:43
They become lovely monsters.
41
151297
2732
Stali sa z nich moje obľúbené príšerky.
02:46
When I'm photographing them,
42
154029
2533
Keď ich fotím,
02:48
I cannot help but remember my grandfather's lesson.
43
156562
3733
spomeniem si na lekciu od starého otca. Nemôžem si pomôcť.
02:52
As I stand under them,
44
160295
1992
Ako pod nimi stojím,
02:54
I see not just a cloud,
45
162287
2207
nevidím len oblak.
02:56
but understand that what I have the privilege to witness
46
164494
2883
Uvedomujem si, že to, čoho som svedkom,
02:59
is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version
47
167377
4450
sú rovnaké sily, rovnaký proces v menšom prevedení,
03:03
that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun
48
171827
6318
ktorý vytvoril našu galaxiu, slnečnú sústavu, Slnko
03:10
and even this very planet.
49
178145
4558
a dokonca aj tútp planétu.
03:14
All my relations. Thank you.
50
182703
2457
Všetko je prepojené ["Mitakuye Oyasin" - v jazyku Lakota]. Ďakujem.
