Ever heard of Colonel Percival Harrison Fawcett? Artillery officer, Archaeologist and Explorer? No? If you have a minute or three take a quick read through of his Wiki - here. He sure doesn’t look altogether happy in the image above. What a bold stare. Perhaps someone from the future had just shown him a screenshot of GoogleMaps prior to the photograph being taken. That or someone in his line of vision was finishing all his brandy! He was a true adventurer, an inspiration for all that followed from Hollywood. A tad crazy, but isn’t that what makes all the greats great? Studying his attire, I think this winter I am going to make a concerted effort to dress a lot more Explorer-esque, look at that hat!
