If you've had a rather hectic week, take my word for it: this surreal video showing a humpback whale swimming swiftly through a forest is exactly what you need to finally get some peace of mind and take a break from reality.

Don't worry, all the things that trouble you will still be there on Monday, just waiting for you to deal with them, but no harm can come from forgetting about them for a minute.

The video was created by Gentleman Scholar for UK-based green group Whales and Dolphin Conservation. To get the full effect, make sure you watch it in HD and full-screen mode.

I've already watched it several times, and I still can't pin down its message. I just know it's one of the most striking videos I've seen in quite a while, and that it makes you think about humpbacks, environmental protection, conservation, and whatnot from an entirely new perspective.

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did, and share your thoughts in the comments section below.
