Liu Bolin, a Chinese artist, waits for the finishing touches to his camouflage, before being completely blended into the background, in front of a shelf lined with comic books, as part of a series of performances in Caracas, Venezuela, on November 2, 2013. Liu, known as "the invisible man" for using painted-on camouflage to blend into the backdrops of his photographs, will be performing in Caracas till November 6.

Paul standing in front of a circular rainbow in Antarctica... The rest of us get to see an arc of this circle, but in the polar regions it's the full circle. Bad news for gold-seeking leprechauns though!!!

From the Irish Seven Summits facebook page. Picture is of one of the guys that have completed peak 6 of 7 across seven years. The six summits the lads have climbed across 6 continents are

Africa = Kilimanjaro
Europe = Elbrus
Australia = Kosciuszko
North America = Denali
South America = Aconcagua
Antarctica = Vinson Massif

Next up in December of this year is the small matter of Mount Everest.
