Wednesday? Break time!!!

After slogging through half number one of 2015’s Week 50, you have earned a soothing and relaxing respite, better known as the world-famous Hump Day Hiatus, and forsooth, herewith it is presented in all its autumnal glory: Watch it in couch mode/full screen for best results.

ROAD TRIP!

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.

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?

This is the kind of thing that is on many people’s lifetime must-see list: the spectacular light show of the aurora borealis, the northern lights.

HUMP DAY HIATUS

I don’t think any other post in the long and glorious history of the Hump Day Hiatus captures the spectacular beauty of this planet quite as well as this one does. It’s stunning, and begs to be watched in full-screen mode (click play, then on the 4-arrow icon in the lower right corner). The scenes you’re about to see were …

Ready for a break?

Of course you are. Let’s pay our respects to the last days of summer with a trip to the beach down under and, courtesy of the gentleman we meet about thirty seconds into this, we get to see a helicopter rescue. You’re too close the edge, mate! Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.
