Stairs for young (and preferably sober) people
There are only a few designs in this collection that seem ok for people of a certain age. Most of them, although very beautiful, make me dizzy!

Nomads of Mongolia: a vanishing lifestyle
We've been watching Marco Polo on Netflix, where the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongol peoples was already an issue, as Kublai Khan had settled in a palace after conquering China. There are some very small communities still surviving the advance of the modern, urban lifestyle now prevalent in the region...

I prepared a post and forgot to publish it!
I tried, I really tried, but I was trying to post and having three conversations at the same time: Dora in Miami, Paul in Melbourne, and Billy in Munich. It was a lazy post because it's so hot, just some nice random photos... We managed to go for a walk in the morning, had lunch (when all the conversations were going on), then went to the beach and finally popped to the supermarket for some essentials. Not a bad day, apart from leaving the post hanging in mid air! I hope you enjoy the photos.

A laugh for the weekend
An Italian, a Frenchman, and an Englishman were discussing screams of passion.
The Italian said: "Last night I massaged my wife all over with the finest extra virgin olive oil, then we made passionate love and I made her scream, non-stop, for five minutes."
The Frenchman said: "Last night I massaged my wife all over with special aphrodisiac oil from Provence and then we made passionate love. I made her scream for fifteen minutes."
The Englishman said, “That's nothing! Last night I massaged my wife all over with a special butter. I caressed her entire body with the butter and then made love and I made her scream for two long hours."
The Italian and Frenchman, astonished, asked, "Two full hours? Wow! That's phenomenal, what did you do, to make her scream for two hours?"

Take a deep breath...
These stunning photos by Phoebe Rudomino are very real and she doesn't use any photo editing! She specialises in spectacular, large scale water projects like this one.
