Bergensbanen
How about taking a 7 hour train ride from Bergen to Oslo in Norway? Here's amazing HD video of the view from the driver's seat for the entire ride.

Mother elephant saves baby from drowning
Gotta love those big floppy-eared creatures. They got some big brains on 'em.

Here's some awesome slow motion footage of humming birds and bees and bats and butterflies in action.

Dancing cows!
I took an unannounced self-imposed week-long vacation from blogging. Mostly because I've been busy working on my new website, and more importantly content for the website, i.e. new tunes! I've been remixing/mastering some old ones as well and all should be finished soon and open for public scrutiny. If you haven't noticed yet, and really those no reason you should have, you can now access the blog via bryanraydio.com. It's just a redirect for now, but soon it will lead to a proper website, at long last!
Another reason I've been absent is that the weather has finally started to turn and I've been spending time outside! I'm not a fan of the cold and tend to hibernate during the winter months, so I feel a bit like these happy characters emerging from their indoor housing to the great outdoors at long last!

The Lord Howe Island stick insect returns
These happy "little" fellers were supposed to have been extinct for more than 80 years. Until they turned up on an old volcano sticking out of the ocean in the South Pacific. Check out the crazy story here, and below is a slightly weird but interesting video of one of these critters emerging into the world for the first time.

Aurora borealis from space
NASA has released this pretty awesome footage from the International Space Station. It shows a view of the aurora borealis from space. It's a pretty impressive sight from the ground, from space it's just amazing. Watch in HD.

The Iceman
Wim Hof shares the same nickname as Richard Kuklinski, but that is where the comparison ends. Wim has the unique ability to control his internal body temperature. How he does this is known only to him. There's an interesting TED Talk about him here.

Russian scientists reach Lake Vostok
They've done it. After 30 years of drilling, scientists have finally reached the mysterious Lake Vostok. It's been an intriguing last week or so when reports of its imminent awakening surfaced accompanied by reports that the scientists had gone missing or at least lost contact with the world, but all of those proved to be unfounded and they have finally made it through the ice. Now the question is, what is down there? Some of the world's preeminent billionaires are there to see, and whatever they find you can be sure it's going to be mind-blowing.

The 12 year old girl who silenced the world
In 1992 Severn Cullis-Suzuki, daughter of legendary Canadian activist David Suzuki, gave a truly amazing speech at the United Nations Earth Summit in Brazil. Methinks there are more than a few politicians who could take a lesson or two from this even today.
Six really, really old trees
A couple weeks ago Florida's legendary cypress tree "The Senator" burned down from a lightning strike. At some 3500 years old it was among the oldest trees on the earth. These giant old trees are pretty awesome sights, and while I would hardly call myself a "tree-hugger", I think some of these are probably worth keeping for a few more decades at least if we can help it. Check out these cool trees including the tree below, the Zoroastrian Sarv in Iran.
