Nathan Hale taught in this one-room school house in 1773/74. He was executed by the British for being a spy during the Revolutionary War. Before being hanged, he said the words I put in this photo's title. He was just 21 at the time of his death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Hale
Ponte Sant'Angelo, originally the Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius, is a Roman bridge in Rome, Italy, completed in 134 AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian (Publius Aelius Hadrianus), to span the Tiber from the city centre to his newly constructed mausoleum, now the towering Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge is faced with travertine marble and spans the Tiber with five arches, three of which are Roman; it was approached by means of a ramp from the river. The bridge is now solely pedestrian and provides a scenic view of Castel Sant'Angelo.
In 1535, Pope Clement VII allocated the toll income of the bridge to erecting the statues of the apostles Saint Peter (holding a book, with the pedestal inscription Rione XIV) by Lorenzetto, and Saint Paul (holding a broken sword and a book, with the pedestal inscription Borgo) by Paolo Romano to which subsequently the four evangelists and the patriarchs were added to other statues representing Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. For centuries after the 16th century, the bridge was used to expose the bodies of those executed in the nearby Piazza di Ponte, at the left bridge head. In 1669 Pope Clement IX commissioned replacements for the aging stucco angels by Raffaello da Montelupo, commissioned by Paul III. Bernini's program, one of his last large projects, called for ten angels holding instruments of the Passion: he personally only finished the two originals of the Angel with the Superscription "I.N.R.I." and the Angel with the Crown of Thorns, but these were kept by Clement IX for his own pleasure. They are now in the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte, also in Rome.
The Monument aux Girondins is a dramatic fountain in Bordeaux commemorating the Girondists of the French Revolution.
The Girondists were originally part of France’s Legislative Assembly, becoming one of the groups which supported the French Revolution as it began. In fact, they were one of the legislature’s most militant sections.
However, in October 1793, the Girondists were executed under the orders of one of the leaders of the Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre, after they began opposing the movement.
It's freezing outside and they forecast more cold to come.
At least I can look at my photos and feel warm with my memories.

Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and parish church located in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. A Gothic Revival style building designed by Joseph Connolly. It is considered Connolly's best work.[2] To serve a Roman Catholic parish of predominantly German settlers the church was built between 1875 and 1883. The monumental church contains decorative carving and stained glass executed by skilled craftsmen.

Tomb from the church of Näshult, which predates the current church (the church is from 1735 - the burial from 1572). And the photo lies a bit - the stone is placed in the floor, not standing up, but I liked the effect from this angle.
The man buried here is Nils Persson from Holma, of the noble Silfversparre family (Silfversparre is a description of the coat of arms which later was used as a family name, so if you look at the stone you can see that coat of arms, but the name Silfversparre isn't actually mentioned). Nils Persson was first mentioned in 1529 and had several important functions in the higher echelons of society - though they are hard to translate to English so I won't try. He died October 19 1572, at six in the afternoon (according to the stone). Nils Persson had acquired a lot of land in his life-time and he seems to have been rather ruthless - and he had actually killed a man in 1551. He had at least three children, including a daughter - who was also accused of murder. She was later executed, but not for that, but for treachery towards the king. You can't help but get the feeling that if you were important enough, back in the day, you really could get away with murder...

Lasses Birgitta (died 1550). She was the first woman executed for sorcery in Sweden. After the trial of Birgitta, the Swedish witch hunt remained more or less inactive until the 1590s, and the real witch hysteria was not to break loose until 1668. Approximately 400 people executed for the crime in Sweden. Most of these were women - but Birgitta was the only one burned alive.
Bradgate House is a 16th-century ruin in Bradgate Park, Leicestershire, England.This is one of the first unfortified great houses in England and one of the earliest post-Roman use of bricks. It was lived in by the Grey family for the next 220 years. It is believed that the house was the birthplace of Lady Jane Grey, later Queen, ruling for a mere 9 days before being overthrown by Mary I. Jane was executed in 1553 and when her father was executed the following year the estate passed to the crown. Local history claims that groundskeepers marked the occasion of Jane's execution by pollarding the estate's oak trees in a symbolic beheading.

Regno Unito, Scozia, Edimburgo, Primavera 2023
Victoria Street, nel centro storico di Edimburgo, è uno dei luoghi più fotografati della città. la sua curva dolce e le facciate colorate dei negozi la rendono meta preferita per turisti, cartoline e spot televisivi.
Victoria Street fu costruita tra il 1829-1834 come parte di una serie di miglioramenti al centro storico, con l'obiettivo di migliorare l'accesso alla città. Sul lato nord della strada, vi è una terrazza, sopra una serie di archi che si è successivamente riempita di negozi. Oggi la strada è un incantevole angolo del centro storico, ma ci sono ancora alcuni aspetti di un oscuro passato. Qui vi era la casa del maggiore Weir, un uomo noto come 'il Mago del West Bow', che fu giustiziato per stregoneria nel 1670. Si pensava che la sua casa fosse stata completamente demolita al tempo della costruzione di Victoria Street, ma ora sembra alcune parti siano sopravvissute, nascoste nel Quaker Meeting House sulla terrazza superiore. Un pensiero interessante i turisti in cerca dell'imprevisto.
Victoria Street in Edinburgh Old Town is one of the most photographed locations in the city. Its gentle curve and colourful shopfronts making it favourite spot for tourist photos, postcards and TV adverts.
Victoria Street was built between 1829-34 as part of a series of improvements to the Old Town, with the aim of improving access around the city. On the north side of the street a terrace was built, with a series of arches underneath which were later filled with shops. Today the street is a charming corner of the Old Town, but recent speculation suggests that a relic of its darker past may still exist. This was the location of Major Weir’s house, a man notorious as ‘the Wizard of the West Bow’, who was executed for witchcraft in 1670. It was thought that his house was completely demolished when Victoria Street was built, but it now seems that some parts may still exist, hidden in the Quaker Meeting House on the upper terrace. An intriguing thought for those visiting to shop, dine or looking for the unexpected.

Amritsar (Inde) - En juin 1984, le Temple d'Or a été le théâtre d'un massacre dont les Shiks ont été les victimes. Occupé par un groupe d'indépendantistes sikhs sous les ordres de Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, après l'échec des négociations avec la Fédération indienne, l'assaut est ordonné par le premier ministre de l'époque : Indira Gandhi.
A l'issue de la bataille, on déplore 493 tués chez les mutins, dont 100 femmes et 75 enfants. Auxquels il faut ajouter les 86 blessés qui n'ont pas été exécutés. Les militaires indiens quant à eux, auraient perdu 334 hommes (86 morts et 248 blessés).
Le Temple d'Or souillé du sang des insurgés et profané par les bottes des assaillants, est considéré comme une insulte irréparable par les extrémistes sikhs. Cet attaque militaire appelée « Opération Blue star », ne pouvait rester impunie selon les Sikhs. Elle aura pour conséquence le 31 octobre de la même année, l'assassinat d'Indira Gandhi, abattue par ses deux gardes du corps sikhs.
Aujourd’hui, Sikhs et Hindous ont enterré la hache de guerre et évitent d’évoquer cet épisode tragique de leur récente histoire. La raison l'a emporté face aux ressentiments. Dans leur Temple sacré, les Sikhs accueillent de nouveau tous les visiteurs, offrant le gîte et le couvert à ceux qui en font la demande. Sans distinction de statut social ou de religion. Un principe à méditer.
Operation Bluestar
Amritsar (India) - In June 1984, the Golden Temple was the scene of a massacre, of which the Shiks were the victims. Occupied by a group of Sikh separatists under the orders of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, after the failure of negotiations with the Indian Federation, the attack was ordered by the Prime Minister of the time: Indira Gandhi.
At the end of the battle, 493 mutineers were killed, including 100 women and 75 children. To which must be added the 86 wounded who were not executed. The Indian military meanwhile, would have lost 334 men (86 dead and 248 wounded).
The Golden Temple, stained with the blood of the insurgents and desecrated by the boots of the assailants, is considered an irreparable insult by the Sikh extremists. This military attack called "Operation Blue Star", could not go unpunished according to the Sikhs. It will result on October 31 of the same year, the assassination of Indira Gandhi, killed by her two bodyguards of Sikh faith.
Today, Sikhs and Hindus have buried the hatchet and avoid evoking this tragic episode in their recent history. Reason prevailed in the face of resentment. In their sacred Temple, the Sikhs once again welcome all visitors, offering room and board to those who request it. Without distinction of social status or religion. A principle to ponder.

Weltenburg Abbey is located directly on the Danube just before the narrowing near Kehlheim.
The monastery church was rebuilt between 1716 and 1718. The builder is Philipp Plank. But in 1718 the shell was only completed, only a provisional altar was set up and the interior work began.
Cosmas Damian Asam and his brother Egid Quirin Asam can be obtained for the equipment.
Master stonemason Pietro Francesco Giorgioli from Ticino and the local stonemason Matthias Einsele created all marble work until 1720.
In 1721 Cosmas Damian Asam started the dome fresco. Also in 1721, Egid Quirin Asam arrived at the construction site after he had finished his work in the nearby Rohr monastery. He starts with the high altar in the same year. Up to this point the choir wall is still a straight end. The Asam brothers have the choir rebuilt in order to better illuminate the high altar with its figure of St. George. Maria Salome Bornschlegel, the sister of the Asam brothers, began in 1723 with the gold setting of the stucco work and the setting of the high altar.
In 1734, the building was suspended for 10 years, Egid Quirin and Cosmas Damian Asam were given to build the side altars. In 1735 Cosmas Damian Asam leaves the construction site due to payment problems. This is how his son Franz Erasmus Asam completes the work.
The pulpit and confessionals are made by the stonemason Johann Jakob Kürschner. And made entirely of marble. In 1729 the organ was installed on the west gallery. The organ builder Konrad Brandenstein received the order for this in 1728.
Despite the fact that the church is not large, it is one of the most important baroque sacred buildings in Europe. The entire architecture is geared towards the indirectly illuminated ceiling fresco as well as the indirectly backlit statue of St. George on the high altar, a masterpiece executed as the “Theatrum sacrum”.

I had flight credits to use by the end of the year, so I got in touch with a few friends and hit Boston for 48(ish) hours.
The plan was to roam around and find a few photo-ops, then meet a friend for dinner, and then do it again the next day. Different friends...different photo ops. Simple enough.
Right after landing & checking into my Seaport area hotel, I managed to grab a bit of the fading afternoon light. I didn't get out again after dinner, but technically I was executing the plan. 😎

The gallows was erected in 1597 instead of a wooden gallows. The number of people executed is unclear, but there are some indications that relatively few people died there, which is also due to the relatively liberal jurisprudence of the Count House of Erbach. Only one execution in 1746 is documented in the church records, which is considered certain. Johann Adam Beisel from Unter-Sensbach was hanged for theft and adultery. [2] According to the inscription on a memorial stone next to the gallows, the "last execution in 1804, a gypsy woman for stealing a chicken and two loaves of bread" should have taken placeThree red sandstone columns about five meters high were set up so that they form the corners of an equilateral triangle. They carry three crossbars arranged in a triangle, which is why the place of execution is also known as the so-called "three-sleeper gallows". The gallows served the high court of the Oberzent under the rule of the Counts of Erbach; In 1806 they were deprived of their jurisdiction by Napoleonic law, which also ended the right to impose the death penalty.

American wigeon are such fun birds to photograph ... they're quite beautiful and generally pretty active as they dabble for food, which is generally lots of plant matter. They possess a short bill which allows them to efficiently pluck the vegetation in search of the good stuff, while also allowing them to discard easily what they don't want. This female mama wigeon was taking a break from her babies and thus had a great flappy going on as it arose from the water surface with a strong and purposeful flap and stretch forward of its wings, followed by a back flap ... forward and backward flaps repeated for quite some time before she settled back into position. I just love seeing those feathers like that. After some time her young joined her in the lake. Such is the life. :-)
Hope that you enjoy.

27/Xi/2025 --- "Israeli soldiers have shot and killed two Palestinian men during a raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin as the pair attempted to surrender to the military, according to video footage and witness accounts from the scene.
▪️Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh said journalists in Jenin reported on Thursday that the two men had “pulled their shirts up, showing that they were unarmed” before the military ordered them to go back into a building that they had been holed up in. 'And then they were shot dead. They were executed,' Odeh said, reporting from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank."

The House Lounge has been open to the public since the commission of the Benton murals in 1935 when visitors were allowed to observe the project in progress. With the exception of meetings scheduled by legislator.
The committee agreed that the subject of the scenes was to be A Social History of the State of Missouri, and the House Lounge walls were to be the location for the murals. The completion was scheduled for 1937, and Benton was given complete freedom in interpreting and executing the theme for the paintings.

1967 Cadillac | Electric Factory display vehicle.
This car was painted for a 2023 exhibition at Drexel University, Electrified: 50 Years of Electric Factory, in the style of the psychedelically-decorated 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville limousine owned by the original Electric Factory, on Arch Street, Philadelphia, which the Grateful Dead once drove. This version has images on the hood inspired from the six-string bass guitar played by Jack Bruce during his Cream years, which had been painted in London in 1967 by The Fool Collective, who also worked closely with the Beatles. The guitar, now in the Hard Rock Collection, was included in the Electrified exhibition. The car’s side doors were designed by Benny Jimenez, and the remainder of the painting was executed by other Drexel students, and staff.
The first castle at Dryslwyn was constructed by the sons of the Lord Rhys in the early part of the 13th century and was further fortified by Rhys ap Maredudd later in the century. By 1287 Dryslwyn was possibly the largest stone castle built by a Welsh prince. In June 1287 Rhys attacked and captured the castles of Dynefor, Carreg Cennen and Llandovery causing the King to raise an army under Edmund Earl of Cornwall and invade Deheubarth. Dryslwyn was besieged and fell after three weeks in August and September. Rhys escaped but was captured and executed in 1292. During the siege part of a wall collapsed and a number of the attackers were buried alive.
The castle now in the hands of the English was repaired but after its surrender to Owain Glyndwr in 1403 and subsequent recapture it was effectively destroyed.

Rebuilt from 1789 by James Wyatt. Tower completed 1812 to the 1811 designs of J T Groves, executed after Groves's death by H W and W Inwood. Restoration 1874-6 by J M Hooker.
Wikipedia: The site had a church since the 11th century. It was struck by lightning in 1772 and after it was rebuilt by James Wyatt it was opened in 1789. It is situated on a hill-top site near entrance to town, where in the past several tracks met. The area began to be settled in the late tenth century: and St Swithun (Bishop of Winchester, 852–862) was the choice for church patron. To this day it remains a visible landmark.
It is a class II listed building
Capped by green-and-gold domes, La Compañía de Jesús is Quito’s most ornate church and a standout among the baroque splendors of the Old Town.
Free guided tours in English or Spanish highlight the church’s unique features, including its Moorish elements, perfect symmetry (right down to the trompe l’oeil staircase at the rear), symbolic elements (bright-red walls are a reminder of Christ’s blood) and its syncretism (Ecuadorian plants and indigenous faces are hidden along the pillars).
Construction on this marvelously gilded Jesuit church began in 1605 but wasn't completed for another 160 years; the main altarpiece alone took 20 years (former president Gabriel García Moreno is buried here). The made-in-the-USA organ is circa 1889. Check out the chiaroscuro-style series of paintings called the 16 Prophets by Nicolás Javier de Goríbar and the large canvas Hell and Final Judgement from 1879 – it's still a mystery what happened to the original, painted by Hermano Hernando de la Cruz in 1620. Quiteños proudly call it the most beautiful church in the country, and it’s easy to see why.
***
Over the 160 years of its construction, the architects of La Compañía incorporated elements of four architectural styles, although the Baroque is the most prominent. Mudejar (Moorish) influence is seen in the geometrical figures on the pillars; the Churrigueresque characterizes much of the ornate decoration, especially in the interior walls; finally the Neoclassical style adorns the Chapel of Saint Mariana de Jesús (in early years a winery).
The floorplan of La Compañía makes a Latin Cross, with central, northern and southern arms; it has the conventional nave, transept, crossing, presbytery, antechamber to the sacristy, sacristy, and chapel. The central nave is topped by a 26-meter high barrel vault constructed of pumice and brick. This vault is decorated with plaster, polychrome and Mudéjar figures in gold leaf. The skyline is capped by two green and gold domes.
The carvings of La Compañía’s main façade were executed entirely of Ecuadorian andesite stone. (Begun in 1722 by Father Leonardo Deubler, work was suspended in 1725 and taken up again in 1760 by Brother Venancio Gandolfi who finished it in 1765.) According to José María Vargas: “A simple comparison of dates explains the difference in styles between the body of the Church and the façade. While the structure of the Church reveals the Renaissance influence (that of Italy brought to Quito by Brother Marcos Guerra), that of the façade reflects the dynamism of the 18th century Baroque, instigated by Bernini’s solomonic columns of the Baldachin of the Basilica of Saint Peter in Rome”. La Compañía’s columns, statues and larger details were executed in the quarry which the Jesuits had in the Hacienda de Yurac (in the nearby parish of Pintag). The rest of the material was brought from a quarry on the western slopes of El Panecillo, adjacent to the city. That façade, as it has come down to us, has more of the Italian Baroque than of the Spanish Plateresque and, with its high pilasters, a certain accent of the French Baroque.
Design elements include a near symmetrical facade, Moorish influence in the nave, and artwork by artists of the Quito School. A sarcophagus with the remains of Ecuador's patron saint, Mariana de Jesús de Paredes, is located in the base of the central altar.
The interior of La Compañía strongly resembles that of the Church of San Ignacio in Bogotá. This similarity, particularly evident in the design of the stuccos, baseboards, molding and vaults, represents an enhancement of the scheme first employed in the older Bogotá church.
***
When I entered the main nave, I had to ask my guide for some time alone, before his explanations, to appreciate the stunning detail of this Baroque Jesuit church.
It's impressive.
Too bad I couldn't photograph it. I did, but no time to focus on it. I don't understand these dumb rules.

Definition: On the morning of April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City became forever linked to one of the nation's most horrific events. Timothy McVeigh, who would later be executed for the crime, parked a truck full of explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. The explosion was felt for miles, and 168 people were killed.
