Strongly advising you to consider visiting this beautiful cityscape of Edinburgh.
New Delhi
Distinguished Indian face shows a relaxed, unkempt and comfortable ensemble. Much hipster curiosity.

Stunning mood.

VW Camper
Wonderful. Rest assured – a waterproof floor is stitched into the base of the tent. The floor has been tested and apparently it survived the worst the Welsh (UK) wind and rain can throw at it. Go drive a tent.

The Streets of Alicante, Spain
“Cantando bajo la sombra” (“Singing in the shade”)
Umbrellas in the Streets of Alicante, Spain. Intriguing sight.
Asking for a shot of Cashasa
In Brazil a ‘pinga’ equals a shot of ‘cashasa’ (in NYC)
Mocotó Restaurante e Cachaçaria, a São Paulo restaurant specialized in Brazilian Northeast food, draws foodies away from the usual culinary hubs – Jardins, Itaim – to Vila Medeiros, a district on the city’s North Side. HT @about.com

Those of you no longer satisfied with the zen of rock climbing or hill walking, take flight.

Taj West End
![lightbox[raj]](http://edge.dare.co.uk/wp/taj-west-end-impeccable-hotel-in-bangalore.jpeg "raj-west")
Impeccable Taj West in Bangalore. Really splendid former colonial private residence owned by a British couple 125 years ago.
Nestled in the midst of 20 acres of magnificent gardens The Taj West End is one of the finest hotels in Bangalore. The Taj West End has welcomed guests for over a century and is more a legend than a hotel.
Moscow Skyscraper
A man has posted a video of himself climbing a 577ft Kotelnicheskaya building in Moscow, Russia.
Completed in 1952, the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building has 32 floors and is one of the seven Stalinist skyscrapers in the city, known as the Seven Sisters.
Obama
The White House posted this photo on its Flickr feed yesterday, of President Barack Obama taking a moment to sit on the bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Obama remarked on the moment later that day, at a campaign event in Michigan. (The bus is housed at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit.)
“I just sat in there for a moment and pondered the courage and tenacity that is part of our very recent history but is also part of that long line of folks who sometimes are nameless, oftentimes didn’t make the history books, but who constantly insisted on their dignity, their share of the American dream,” he said, according to a White House pool report.
Paying homage to a hero does not make one a hero or a great leader. But contemplating the wisdom and brevity of such events in history is a powerful way to start.
Chemistry
Helen Fisher, prominent social scientist studying *attraction* chemistry
Salvatore Ferragamo
Mario Testino shoots Salvatore Ferragamo SS2012 campaign. Intriguing body language.
“She might be ambivalent because she doesn’t want to act impetuously.”
Keira Knightley
Keira Knightly’s impressive appearance in David Cronenberg’s Jungian psychological drama A Dangerous Method
She smoulders in this provocative shoot for GQ. Beauty notwithstanding her *prattling* magazine remarks.
GQ always pulls the most ironic quotes.
Peter Drucker
William J Burns
NYC warning sign from the early days.
Smoky Eyes
Inspiring stylized look.
George Clooney
Actor George Clooney is arrested during a demonstration outside the Embassy of Sudan March 16, 2012 in Washington, DC.

Dolomites
Origin of the name:
The name “Dolomites” is derived from the famous French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu who was the first to describe the rock, dolomite, a type of carbonate rock which is responsible for the characteristic shapes and colour of these mountains; previously they were called the “pale mountains,” and it was only in the early 19th century that the name was Gallicized.

Rules that help you do well, “Don’t promise when you’re happy, don’t reply when you’re angry, don’t decide when you’re sad.”
