What We Loved This Week: Fog in Virginia, the Northern Lights and a Hungarian Drum Solo

Jim Benning
I loved weather. Call me crazy, but I get tired of all the sunshine and mild temperatures in San Diego. This week, I’ve been enjoying the rain and cold in Washington, D.C. (Yes, I realize I might be the only one.)

A Bulgarian friend helped me celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall by forwarding a vintage recording of the Hungarian band Trabant delivering the most enigmatic drum solo of all time. See the 1:10 mark of “Eskimo Women Feel Cold.”

I loved the video we posted earlier this week of the Northern Lights over Norway, in time lapse. Strange and beautiful.

A fascinating travel/botanical/historical article in Smithsonian Magazine about the surprising connection between Tahiti and Jamaica. Author Caroline Alexander masterfully intertwines the story of a Captain Bligh (yes, that same Captain Bligh) with that of the plants he brought to Jamaica.

The fog on a cool Virginia morning. I took this shot out of my hotel window Monday with my phone. The Potomac River is somewhere down there.
