The White House as viewed from the south lawn. Typically, you poke your camera through the fence bars to get a clear shot. However, this view is more symbolic.

I guess I thought this was a creative shot: looking through the bars of one of the store's displays at the accessories and sportswear areas.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

Greater Manchester Police has launched a spoof website that shows how spending a night in prison is a truly unforgettable experience that can have far reaching negative repercussions on your life.
Logging onto the Drunken Disorderly Inn takes visitors to a hotel-chain style website that features tongue-in-cheek videos, photographs and information on what it is like to be arrested, booked into custody and spend a night in a prison cell.
The website is GMP’s latest tactic to raise awareness of the consequences of alcohol fuelled antisocial behaviour and violence in an engaging way that can easily be shared through Facebook, Twitter and other social networking media.
Sections cover how ‘guests’ are transported in ‘blue-light limousines’, how their details are inputted on the police national database and all their possessions taken off them for safekeeping from ‘ the burglars, robbers and thieves that frequent our premises’.
Other sections cover the ‘nouveau stark décor theme’, compact rooms that are fitted with extra stout doors, locks and state-of-the art CCTV and frills-free hygiene and exercise facilities.
The website has been produced in-house by the Force and features response and custody officers.
Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: “For thousands of people in our county a few drinks out in the local bar or club are an integral part of celebrating Christmas and the New Year. The vast majority of people do this responsibly ensuring they and others have a good time and go home safe.
“Excessive drinking can however lead to a selfish binge-drinking minority getting involved in drunken violence and antisocial behaviour such as swearing, shouting and criminal damage.
“They can be assured that we will be watching out for them and will have no hesitation in putting them up for the night.
“Please visit this website before you go out and share it with your friends. Although it is tongue-in-cheek it carries a serious message highlighting the cold, stark experience of being taken into custody and how it can damage your reputation, relationships and work prospects.
“Please enjoy yourself and stay safe this Christmas and remember it’s your night out and your choice. Don’t spend it with us.”
Police are offering the following advice to people who may be planning a night out over Christmas:
·Pace your drinks
·Stay with friends
·Plan how you intend to get home safely
·Take a taxi you can trust
·Don’t ruin it for others

Once upon a time, there was a monkey named Juan who lived in Columbia, known for having the best bananas in the world. Juan was a hardworking monkey, proud of his country's delicious fruit. He spent his days tending to the banana trees, ensuring that they were healthy and producing the sweetest fruit.
One day, Juan had a dream of sharing the taste of his beloved Columbia's bananas with the rest of the world. He decided to smuggle the bananas into the United States, where he knew they would be highly sought after. He carefully packaged the bananas, hid them among his cargo, and set off on his journey.
But, unfortunately for Juan, his plans were foiled when he was caught by the authorities at the border. He was arrested and thrown into prison for his crime. Juan soon realized that his desire to share the taste of his home with others had led to his downfall. He was stuck in a small and dirty cell, with no hope of release, and away from his beloved Columbia.
Juan spent his days in prison, longing for the sweet smell of the banana trees and the warmth of the sun on his fur. He missed the taste of the fruit he had devoted his life to and the companionship of his family. He knew that he would spend the rest of his days in prison, far away from the place and people he loved.
Juan's story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the dangers of giving into temptation and the importance of following the laws. The moral of the story is: don't smuggle bananas no matter how good they taste, it's not worth it.

Is this the Brave New World of tomorrow we're building today?
Surely seems so to me each time I watch the news...
But especially, when you start to think:
How can this be?
What did we do wrong?
We were doing so well only a decade ago. And now this?
Perhaps you can find an answer or two here.
But don't just believe what that documentary tells you either - just like you shouldn't believe what the networks feed you! Check the facts out for yourself.
Don't believe. Think!

Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here,
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
...
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
It is murder.
...
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code,
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
And the white man dancing...
You'll see a woman
Hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets coming round
Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
And the white man dancin'
...
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions,
Won't be nothing,
Nothing you can measure any more
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned the order of the soul
When they said: "Repent! Repent!"
I wonder what they meant
When they said: "Repent! Repent!"
I wonder what they meant
When they said "Repent! Repent!"
I wonder what they meant...
(The Future by Leonard Cohen)

View South from the Tower of Casa Loma
"Casa Loma (Spanish for Hill House) is a Gothic Revival style house in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. Casa Loma was constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914. The architect of the mansion was E. J. Lennox, who was responsible for the designs of several other city landmarks.",Wikipedia.
"At Casa Loma, you can tour 98 richly decorated rooms, secret passages, towers, and an 800-foot tunnel connecting the castle to its magnificent stables. Outside, you will find a five-acre estate, with gardens offering dazzling colors, sculptures and water fountains.", Yahoo Travel
They’re our closest genetic relatives, with DNA over 98 per cent the same as ours.
We’ve had them to test our vaccines...
We’ve sent them to space...
We’ve kept them as pets for our own happiness...
#Chimpanzees can learn from those around them in ways many other animals can’t - and when they’re captive they become even more human-like, sometimes with tragic results.

Visited the now defunct old prison here in Béziers today. The building dates back to the middle ages. Would be great for a ghost hunt!
It's next to the Cathedrale Saint Nazaire with the courtrooms nearby. There are apparently tunnels from the court passing under the cathedral straight into the prison.
