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.
I captured this double-crested cormorant during its takeoff roll. It takes a lot of energy for a bird to get into the air from the water and it shows! This bird is leaving a trail of splashes in the water behind as it gathers speed.

Whitmore also commissioned the gardener and landscape designer William Emes to produce a scheme for the grounds. Emes came up with a formal plan but it was never executed. Instead, Whitmore left his wife, Frances Lister, and his own gardener, Walter Wood, to develop the grounds. Wood had previously worked on a Picturesque-style garden for the poet William Shenstone at The Leasowes, near Halesowen, then also part of the county of Shropshire. Carefully controlling the Quatt Brook, a small tributary of the Severn to the south of the hall, he now reshaped its course through the Dingle, a small, wooded valley, which was itself artfully quarried and sculpted. His small cliffs, waterfalls and rustic bridges created a framework for the winding paths and seating areas, laid out by Frances. It is unclear which Dingle came first, but it is likely there were cross-influences with that at Badger, Shropshire, where Emes certainly was involved in the design, and where the squire, Isaac Hawkins Browne was an associate of Whitmore

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...
Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).

Bottrop, Germany, 2021.
When I set up my tripod for this shot, my idea was to take an abstract image about the concept of social distancing. I wanted each person to be in their own individual "compartment", nicely separated by the totems (which are part of an open-air art installation, by the way). Little did I know of how much waiting I was getting myself into. In the end, I got the shot, but it took almost 30 minutes of waiting – and I still had to move one person digitally in Photoshop. It was then that I decided to add a question mark to the title of the image. These people were everything but socially distanced.
Here in Germany (and probably every other country), people are quick to blame politicians for all things going wrong in the fight against the pandemic. However, many of them fail to see that it is just as much their own fault to quite a degree. Far too many people simply don't care about keeping their distance, willing to take the chance of other people dying because of their actions.
The fight against the pandemic is not won by the decisions made in a politician's office. It is won by how well these decisions are executed by the people in their everyday lives.

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”.

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.

The end of all law
4 shots fired another body falls
I execute the guilty violently
Undercover killing spree, no warning shot
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die motherfucker, die, die
I'll put a bullet between your fucking eyes
Pull the trigger - cock the hammer back
5th shot to the back of your neck
You're not a threat, you're a fucking disease
Eradicate the enemy
Dead body, another crime scene
Blood-stained pavement, chalk outline
Bullet holes you're dead and cold
The end of all law, no warning shot
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die, I put the gun to the side of your head
Squeezing the trigger
Powder burnt skin, breaking through cranial bone
Decayed brain tissue implodes
Just another life that you thought you could control
Just another pig, dead, with some extra holes
You better think again, before I kill again
You won't survive, when the bullets start to fly
Protect and serve yourself
Dug your own grave, now rot
In that hole decay
The murder will never stop, no warning shot
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die motherfucker, die, die
Die motherfucker, die, die
I'll put a bullet between your fucking eyes
Die

I guess castles always have a touch of Romance about them certainly Dunstanburgh Castle on the edge of the North Sea seems particularly magical. Taken a very warm July day back in 2013
Dunstanburgh Castle is a 14th-century fortification on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, located between the villages of Craster and Embleton. The castle was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster between 1313 and 1322, taking advantage of the site's natural defences and the existing earthworks of a former Iron Age fort. Thomas was a leader of a baronial faction opposed to King Edward II, and probably intended Dunstanburgh to act as a secure refuge, should the political situation in southern England deteriorate. The castle also served as a statement of the earl's wealth and influence, and would have invited comparisons with the neighbouring royal castle of Bamburgh. Thomas probably only visited his new castle once, before being captured at Battle of Boroughbridge as he attempted to flee royal forces for the safety of Dunstanburgh. Thomas was executed, and the castle became the property of the Crown, before passing into the Duchy of Lancaster.

Royalist / monarchist or not the talent executed in this arts and crafts piece is undisputed. These knitted pieces have been popping up on letterboxes in my area. The designs vary but this piece seems to have the edge on that of others created. This letterbox is situated just outside the boundary to my property and moments apart cars are pulling up to take pictures of it. Kudos to the three ladies I saw dressing the letterbox with this delightful creation.

The Saracens Head Hotel is on Market Place in Southwell (pronounced SUH-Thull), Nottinghamshire.
Recent dendochronology has determined that it was built in the 1460’s with some additions and alterations in the late 19thC and early 20thC. It was originally called the Kings Head but this was later changed to its present name of Saracens Head in the 1600’s after the English Civil War. King Charles dthe First, of England, Scotland and Ireland, became king in 1625 but started having serious problems, quarrelling with Parliament over the Royal Perogarative, almost the Divine Right of Kings, which led eventually to the Civil War between Parliament and the Royalists.
King Charles was resting in Southwell at the Kings Head Inn in 1647 after he had fought a battle nearby but was taken captive by the Scottish Army, never to be a free man again.
Taken to London, he was tried eventually, found guilty of treason and executed in 1649, being beheaded!
Next to Liverpool’s art school on the famous Hope Street are these concrete suitcases, executed by John King in 1998. The bronze luggage tags carry the names of the notable individuals and institutions associated with the Merseyside: social reformers, musicians, writers, and conductors. Behind is the distinctive modernist form of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.
After executing a well timed meet with a westbound track geometry car, Montana Rail Link’s Bozeman Local scales the remainder of the west slope of Bozeman Pass and is about to duck into the tunnel at the summit which lies just a few hundred yards ahead. From there it will be smooth sailing down the other side of the mountain into Livingston, where the crew will have work at the yard and R-Y Timber before heading back to Bozeman. The two 1969 built GP35’s leading the short freight are a common sight on this job, and have undoubtedly traversed the steep grades of the Rocky Mountains many times further to the south under the ownership of the Rio Grande.
Construite entre 1829 et 1834, Victoria Street est réalisée par l’architecte Thomas Hamilton dans le style flamand ancien avec des façades imposantes et des arches proéminentes. La rue remplace l’une des principales artères de la ville, la West Bow, une fente en forme de Z effroyablement raide, offrant un accès beaucoup plus facile du Grassmarket à Castlehill. Nommée Bow Street jusqu’en 1837, elle prendra son nom définitif en 1937 lors de l’accession au trône de la reine Victoria.
La vieille ville d’Edimbourg est remplie d’histoires et de mystères, ce quartier ne fait pas exception. Un homme surnommé le « magicien de l’arc ouest », le Major Weir qui habitait le quartier, fut exécuté pour sorcellerie en 1670. Rien d’étonnant en sachant que plus de 4 000 sorcières présumées ont été mises à mort dans cette ville ressource inépuisable pour tout auteur en quête d’inspiration. J.K. Rowling semble s’être inspirée dans ses romans de Victoria Street pour décrire le chemin de Traverse : cette ruelle un peu biscornue où Harry Potter et ses amis sorciers achètent les fournitures scolaires avant d’aller à Poudlard : Prends une bonne poignée de poudre de cheminette, parles bien fort et distinctement, et dis “chemin de Traverse” ! Avec ses vieux pavés, ses boutiques, ses bâtiments colorées et ses toitures pointues, cette vieille rue correspond en tous points à la description. Les Moldus quant à eux peuvent visiter un magasin jouant sur cette anecdote : le Diagon House (le chemin de Traverse se dit Diagon Alley dans la version originale). Fait amusant, il y avait, dans les années 1990 (année d’écriture du premier tome), une banque et une librairie/papeterie dans cette rue, à peu près situées au même endroit que la banque Gringotts et la boutique de Fleury et Boot dans le Chemin de Traverse. Aujourd’hui vous trouverez de nombreux cafés, des boutiques d’objets en tous genres et une des plus anciennes librairies de la ville.
Built between 1829 and 1834, Victoria Street was designed by architect Thomas Hamilton in the old Flemish style with imposing facades and prominent arches. The street replaces one of the city's main thoroughfares, the West Bow, a frighteningly steep Z-shaped cleft, providing much easier access from the Grassmarket to Castlehill. Named Bow Street until 1837, it took its final name in 1937 when Queen Victoria acceded to the throne.
Edinburgh's Old Town is full of stories and mysteries, this area is no exception. A man nicknamed the “Wizard of the West Arc,” Major Weir, who lived in the neighborhood, was executed for witchcraft in 1670. No wonder more than 4,000 suspected witches were put to death in this resort town inexhaustible for any author in search of inspiration. J.K. Rowling seems to have drawn inspiration from her Victoria Street novels to describe Diagon Alley: that slightly crooked alley where Harry Potter and his wizarding friends buy school supplies before going to Hogwarts: Take a good handful of powdered Floo, speak loud and clear, and say Diagon Alley! With its old cobblestones, its shops, its colorful buildings and its pointed roofs, this old street corresponds in every way to the description. Muggles can visit a store playing on this anecdote: the Diagon House (Diagon Alley is called Diagon Alley in the original version). Fun fact, there was, in the 1990s (the year the first volume was written), a bank and a bookshop/stationery on this street, roughly located in the same place as the Gringotts bank and the shop of Fleury and Boot in Diagon Alley. Today you will find many cafes, shops of all kinds and one of the oldest bookstores in the city.
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.
Sa construction commença vers la fin de l'année 1066 dans le cadre de la conquête normande de l’Angleterre. La tour Blanche (White Tower) qui donna son nom à l'ensemble du château, fut construite sur l'ordre de Guillaume le Conquérant en 1078 et fut considérée comme un symbole de l'oppression infligée à Londres par la classe dirigeante. Le château fut utilisé comme prison dès 1100. Il servait également de grand palais et de résidence royale.
L'utilisation carcérale de la tour atteignit son apogée aux xvie et xviie siècles lorsque de nombreuses personnes tombées en disgrâce, comme Élisabeth Ire avant qu'elle ne devienne reine, y furent enfermées.
Malgré sa réputation tenace de lieu de torture et de mort, popularisée par les propagandistes religieux du xvie siècle et les écrivains du xixe siècle, seules sept personnes furent exécutées dans la tour avant le xxe siècle. Les exécutions étaient généralement réalisées à la Tower Hill au nord de la tour où 112 personnes furent exécutées sur une période de 400 ans.
Lors des deux guerres mondiales, la tour fut à nouveau utilisée comme une prison et fut le lieu de douze exécutions pour espionnage. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les dégâts causés par le Blitz furent réparés et la tour fut rouverte au public. Aujourd'hui la tour est classée au patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO et accueille plusieurs millions de visiteurs par an.

The apostles are grouped into four groups of three, leaving Christ relatively isolated at the center. From left to right (from the point of view of those who are in front of the painting), according to their heads, they are: in the first group, Bartolomeu, Tiago Menor and André; in the second group, Judas Iscariote, Pedro (white hair) and João (beardless); Christ at the center; in the third group, Tomé, Tiago Maior and Filipe (also beardless); and in the fourth group, Mateus (apparently with a thin beard), Judas Tadeu and Simão Cananeu also called Simão, Zelote, last. These identifications come from an autograph manuscript by Leonardo found in the 19th century.
It is thought that the face of Judas depicted in the painting would portray Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican priest who ruled Florence and who was executed by order of Pope Alexander VI in 1498.
If the leonine does not take shame home, the apostle Tiago Menor reacts to the betrayal announced by Christ as a direct affront.

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.
The mosaics of the Palatine Chapel are of unparalleled elegance as concerns elongated proportions and streaming draperies of figures. They are also noted for subtle modulations of colour and luminance. The oldest are probably those covering the ceiling, the drum, and the dome.
The rest of the mosaics, dated to the 1160s or the 1170s, are executed in a cruder manner and feature Latin (rather than Greek) inscriptions. Probably a work of local craftsmen, these pieces are more narrative and illustrative than transcendental. A few mosaics have a secular character and represent oriental flora and fauna. This may be the only substantial passage of secular Byzantine mosaic extant today.

The Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, with many painted rock shelters, including a cave, with magnificent pictographies surrounded by an outstanding landscape, with the river running through a deep canyon, which were executed between 9,300 and 1,300 years ago.
It takes its name (Cave of the Hands) from the stencilled outlines of human hands in the cave, but there are also many depictions of animals, such as guanacos (Lama guanicoe ), still commonly found in the region, as well as hunting scenes that depict animals and human figures interacting in a dynamic and naturalistic manner. The entrance to the Cueva is screened by a rock wall covered by many hand stencils. Within the rock shelter itself there are five concentrations of rock art, later figures and motifs often superimposed upon those from earlier periods. The paintings were executed with natural mineral pigments - iron oxides (red and purple), kaolin (white), and natrojarosite (yellow), manganese oxide (black) - ground and mixed with some form of binder.
The artistic sequence, which includes three main stylistic groups, began as early as the 10th millennium BP [Before Present]. The sequence is a long one: archaeological investigations have shown that the site was last inhabited around AD 700 by the possible ancestors of the first Tehuelche people of Patagonia. The Cueva is considered by the international scientific community to be one of the most important sites of the earliest hunter-gatherer groups in South America during Early Holocene that still maintains a good state of preservation and has a singular environment formation, unique at Santa Cruz province.
The rock art, its natural environment and the archaeological sites on this region are some of the very important reasons that made this area a focus for archaeological research for more than 25 years. They made an impact on the observer due not only the deep gorge walls surrounded by a privileged landscape, but also by the artistic compositions, variety of motifs and its polychromies. These scenes represent a unique evidence to know aboutthe first Patagonian hunters’ behaviour and their hunting techniques. Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, unique in the world, for its age and continuity throughout time, the beauty and the preservation conditions of the paintings, the magnificence of the collection of stencilled outlines of human hands and the hunting scenes, as well as the environment that surrounds the place of exciting beauty and for being part of the cultural value of the site itself.

This small room takes its name from the fresco in the centre of the ceiling, which depicts three women dancing within frames of ivy decorated all around by floral motifs, garlands, festoons, and musical instruments that recall the grotesques and stuccos of ancient Roman villas. Felice Giani (1758-1823) executed it between 1782 and 1785 as a reworking of the decorations of the Domus Aurea and Hadrian’s Villa, which he visited regularly. galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it/en/il-museo/la-villa/sa...

Plus de 100 œuvres de l'artiste (photos et peintures) sont exposées à la Madeleine. Elles sont exécutées sur divers supports : toile, bois ou verre. Certaines comportent des collages : perles, bijoux, masques, tissages, plumes, ornements "ethniques", etc... Son art dit "cyberéaliste" restitue la circulation d’énergie d’une force permanente et invisible. Chayan Khoi nous communique un "message". Pour lui, la condition humaine est universelle. Et toutes les quêtes visent le même sommet. Reflets du profane et du sacré, du mystère de la vie, de la condition tragique de l’homme, du particulier et de l’universel, du conscient et l’inconscient, du rêve et la réalité, du temps présent et de l’intemporel.

Kilmainham Gaol (Irish: Príosún Chill Mhaighneann) is a former prison in Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland. It is now a museum run by the Office of Public Works, an agency of the Government of Ireland. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed in the prison by the orders of the UK Government.When it was first built in 1796, Kilmainham Gaol was called the "New Gaol" to distinguish it from the old prison it was intended to replace – a noisome dungeon, just a few hundred metres from the present site. It was officially called the County of Dublin Gaol, and was originally run by the Grand Jury for County Dublin.
Originally, public hangings took place at the front of the prison. However, from the 1820s onward very few hangings, public or private, took place at Kilmainham. A small hanging cell was built in the prison in 1891. It is located on the first floor, between the west wing and the east wing.
There was no segregation of prisoners; men, women and children were incarcerated up to 5 in each cell, with only a single candle for light and heat. Most of their time was spent in the cold and the dark, and each candle had to last for two weeks. Its cells were roughly 28 square metres in area.
Children were sometimes arrested for petty theft, the youngest said to be a seven-year-old child, while many of the adult prisoners were transported to Australia.
At Kilmainham, the poor conditions in which women prisoners were kept provided the spur for the next stage of development. As early as 1809, in his report, the Inspector had observed that male prisoners were supplied with iron bedsteads while females "lay on straw on the flags in the cells and common halls". Half a century later there was little improvement. The women's section, located in the west wing, remained overcrowded. In an attempt to relieve the overcrowding, 30 female cells were added to the Gaol in 1840. These improvements had not been made long before the Great Famine occurred, and Kilmainham was overwhelmed with the increase of prisoners.
Kilmainham Gaol was decommissioned as a prison by the Irish Free State government in 1924. Seen principally as a site of oppression and suffering, there was at this time no declared interest in its preservation as a monument to the struggle for national independence. The jail's potential function as a location of national memory was also undercut and complicated by the fact that the first four Republican prisoners executed by the Free State government during the Irish Civil War were shot in the prison yard.
The Irish Prison Board contemplated reopening it as a prison during the 1920s but all such plans were finally abandoned in 1929. In 1936 the government considered the demolition of the prison but the price of this undertaking was seen as prohibitive. Republican interest in the site began to develop from the late 1930s, most notably with the proposal by the National Graves Association, a Republican organisation, to preserve the site as both a museum and memorial to the 1916 Easter Rising. This proposal received no objections from the Commissioners of Public Works, who costed it at £600, and negotiations were entered into with the Department of Education about the possibility of relocating artefacts relating to the 1916 Rising housed in the National Museum to a new museum at the Kilmainham Gaol site. The Department of Education rejected this proposal seeing the site as unsuitable for this purpose and suggested instead that paintings of nationalist leaders could be installed in appropriate prison cells. However, with the advent of the Emergency the proposal was shelved for the duration of the war.
An architectural survey commissioned by the Office of Public Works after World War II revealed that the prison was in a ruinous condition. With the Department of Education still intransigent to the site's conversion to a nationalist museum and with no other apparent function for the building, the Commissioners of Public Works proposed only the prison yard and those cell blocks deemed to be of national importance should be preserved and that the rest of the site should be demolished. This proposal was not acted upon.
In 1953 the Department of the Taoiseach, as part of a scheme to generate employment, re-considered the proposal of the National Graves Association to restore the prison and establish a museum at the site. However, no advance was made and the material condition of the prison continued to deteriorate.
From the late 1950s, a grassroots movement for the preservation of Kilmainham Gaol began to develop. Provoked by reports that the Office of Public Works was accepting tenders for the demolition of the building, Lorcan C.G. Leonard, a young engineer from the north side of Dublin, along with a small number of like-minded nationalists, formed the Kilmainham Gaol Restoration Society in 1958. In order to offset any potential division among its members, the society agreed that they should not address any of the events connected with the Civil War period in relation to the restoration project. Instead, a narrative of the unified national struggle was to be articulated. A scheme was then devised that the prison should be restored and a museum built using voluntary labour and donated materials.
With momentum for the project growing, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions informed the society that they would not oppose their plan and the Building Trades Council gave it their support. It is also likely that Dublin Corporation, which had shown an interest in the preservation of the prison, supported the proposal. At this time the Irish government was coming under increasing pressure from the National Graves Association and the Old IRA Literary and Debating Society to take action to preserve the site. Thus, when the society submitted their plan in late 1958 the government looked favourably on a proposal that would achieve this goal without occasioning any significant financial commitment from the state.
In February 1960 the society's detailed plan for the restoration project, which notably also envisioned the site's development as a tourist attraction, received the approval of the notoriously parsimonious Department of Finance. The formal handing over of prison keys to a board of trustees, composed of five members nominated by the society and two by the government, occurred in May 1960. The trustees were charged a nominal rent of one penny rent per annum to extend for a period of five years at which point it was envisaged that the restored prison would be permanently transferred to the trustees' custodial care.
Commencing with a workforce of sixty volunteers in May 1960, the society set about clearing the overgrown vegetation, trees, fallen masonry and bird droppings from the site. By 1962 the symbolically important prison yard where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed had been cleared of rubble and weeds and the restoration of the Victorian section of the prison was nearing completion. It opened to the public on 10 April 1966. The final restoration of the site was completed in 1971 when Kilmainham Gaol chapel was re-opened to the public having been reroofed and re-floored and with its altar reconstructed. The Magill family acted as residential caretakers, in particular, Joe Magill who worked on the restoration of the gaol from the start until the Gaol was handed over to the Office of Public works.
It now houses a museum on the history of Irish nationalism and offers guided tours of the building. An art gallery on the top floor exhibits paintings, sculptures and jewellery of prisoners incarcerated in prisons all over contemporary Ireland.
Kilmainham Gaol is one of the biggest unoccupied prisons in Europe. Now empty of prisoners, it is filled with history.
In 2013, Kilmainham courthouse located beside the prison, which had remained in operation as a seat of the Dublin District court until 2008 was handed over to the OPW for refurbishment as part of a broader redevelopment of the Gaol and the surrounding Kilmainham Plaza in advance of the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising. The courthouse opened in 2015 as the attached visitor's centre for the Gaol.
Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 41601
