This day a century ago, on the 28th of June 1914, Franz Ferdinand, the Emperor of Austria was assassinated together with his wife. It was this event which trigged the First Word War, which was so devastating for Europe. This picture was captured right before the assassination. There is something eerie about this picture. I can imagine the Emperor getting into his carriage, thinking about his destination and responsibilities, yet not knowing that he was riding to his death.

Your Monday escape: Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Tortola was named for its turtledoves, which still outnumber the island’s inhabitants. Tortola is the largest island in the British Virgin Islands, and Cane Garden Bay is its standout beach, popular with windsurfers, water-skiers, and boaters.
