This is the ultimate Wednesday – aka Hump Day – of the year, at least in this hemisphere. If you can’t be in Augusta, at least there’s this, a poor substitute indeed. And this splendid bonus:
What’s in your wallet?
The question is posed by way of a mid-week break, better known as the celebrated Hump Day Hiatus. Today’s HDH asks (very obliquely and also very beautifully), are you happy doing what you’re doing? Do you want to keep doing what you’re doing? We ask because you’re about to meet a coal miner. Wait. Former coal miner. Who is now …
Nighttime in the Alps
The Swiss Alps is our destination for this week’s Hump Day Hiatus. Here’s your chance to get away, even if for only three minutes and 16 seconds. Sit back and savor the scenery (in full screen mode). Helvetia's Dream from Alessandro Della Bella on Vimeo.
Oh. My. Wednesday.
When I think of home – Planet Earth, that is – I think of a multi-million square mile playground. A garden of pleasure. A feast for the senses in the wilderness. In the cities. In the majestic mountains and in the verdant valleys. On the crashing seashore and the stark, silent desert. Proof: I offer this Hump Day video as …
The Himalayas
Yes, boys and girls, that’s our destination for today’s Hump Day Hiatus, your weekly journey to the far corners of the globe – and sometimes beyond. We all need a break sometime. Our armchair journey will be courtesy of a film entitled “The Himalayas at 20,000 ft.” I know what you’re thinking: 20,000 feet isn’t high enough. Not for the …
This Beautiful Planet
The Hump Day Hiatus has taken its travelers far afield week after week, just in time for the mid-week blahs. Well, here is another spectacular corner of this amazing planet, and it’s not even a place you’ve probably ever heard of before. There are just that many breath-taking places, that’s all. This time the location happens to be Norway. It’s …
Your Mid-Week Break
AKA, the world-famous Hump Day Hiatus. But first, a question: when you need a vacation (even if it’s only five minutes long), do you prefer to escape civilization or run straight for it? Well, either way, we’ve got you covered. Today’s first offering is the vast and lonely and stark beauty of the night skies in the Dakota Territory. Or …
Every Hump Day Needs a Hiatus
And herewith we provide not one, but two. The word is probably hiatii. First, let’s briefly (5 minutes, 6 seconds) explore Turkey. Who ever thinks of Turkey? But it’s another unique corner of our planet with its own special beauty. Our second destination today is a familiar one: we have traveled to Dubai before. There is so much to see …
The Hump Day Hiatus
Today’s Hump Day Hiatus is in honor of my wife. I put her on a plane today to fly to California to spend a week with her dad and brother. Wish I was with her. Enjoy it in full screen mode!
Take a Hump Day Break
This is a little thing we do every Wednesday in this spot called the Hump Day Hiatus. It’s a completely different excursion every week: it might be a journey to Nepal one week, Borneo the next, then a visit to an abandoned building in Detroit or, as in the case of today’s adventure, a refreshing jaunt to Missouri. Granted, travel …
