my mind is
a big hunk of irrevocable nothing which touch and
taste and smell and hearing and sight keep hitting and
chipping with sharp fatal tools
in an agony of sensual chisels i perform squirms of
chrome and execute strides of cobalt
nevertheless i
feel that i cleverly am being altered that i slightly am
becoming something a little different, in fact
myself
hereupon helpless i utter lilac shrieks and scarlet
bellowings

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).

The castle of Miramare located at Trieste was buildt by Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg, a brother of the austrian emperor and leader of the austrian navy. The building was finished in 1860. Some Mexicans and the french emperor Napoleon III. begged Maximilian several times to take the crown of Mexico and he accepted it in 1863. But the french troups left Mexico during the civil war. So Maximilian, the emperor of Mexico was executed in 1867 by order of the liberal President of Mexico Benito Juarez. So he never came back to Miramare.
Executing my best Matrix move, here is a simultaneous view of the previous post, 90 degrees to the right, as the Sora moves through a cauldron of duckweed on Horsepen Bayou.
Early morning sunrise in Virginia Beach, at the Sandbridge Little Island Fishing Pier. First time I've executed an "under the pier" shot.
I like how this shot contains different types of lighting, but it could be balanced out. The white light shining strait down is from overhead lights on the pier. The warm and reddish lighting is from different floodlights on the beach, and horizon lighting is courtesy of dawn!

Italia, Emilia-Romagna, Ravenna, Primavera 2023
Ravenna è una città dell'Emilia-Romagna, nel nord Italia. Fu la capitale dell'Impero Romano d'Occidente dal 408 per la maggior parte del V secolo fino al suo crollo nel 476. Poi servì come capitale del Regno Ostrogoto fino a quando fu riconquistata nel 540 dall'Impero Bizantino. In seguito, la città costituì il centro dell'Esarcato bizantino di Ravenna fino a quando l'ultimo esarca fu giustiziato dai Longobardi nel 751. Pur essendo una città dell'entroterra, Ravenna è collegata al mare Adriatico dal Canale di Candiano. È noto per la sua architettura tardo romana e bizantina ben conservata, con otto edifici che compongono il patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO "Monumenti paleocristiani di Ravenna". A causa dell'alta concentrazione di mosaici, la città è stata associata a laboratori e scuole che insegnano mosaici, e spesso riceve titoli come "capitale dei mosaici". La Basilica di San Vitale è una chiesa del VI secolo che è un importante esempio sopravvissuto di arte e architettura paleocristiana bizantina.
Ravenna is a town in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. It was the capital city of the Western Roman Empire from 408 for most of the 5th century until its collapse in 476.bIt then served as the capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom until it was re-conquered in 540 by the Byzantine Empire. Afterwards, the city formed the centre of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna until the last exarch was executed by the Lombards in 751. Although it is an inland city, Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the Candiano Canal. It is known for its well-preserved late Roman and Byzantine architecture, with eight buildings comprising the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna". Because of the high concentration of mosaics, the city has been associated with workshops and schools teaching mosaics, and is often given titles like the "capital of mosaics". Basilica of San Vitale is a sixth-century church is an important surviving example of early Christian Byzantine art and architecture.
Another view of Charles Island from this past spring. Charles Island is famous for being a 'treasure' Island. The longstanding legend is that in 1699 Captain Kidd, on his last voyage before being lured into a trap and executed, buried part of his treasure on the island. No booty has ever been found and the 14 acre island has no residents and is a bird sanctuary. The island is accessible by a sandbar that appears at low tide.

Today’s image was taken a few minutes after the photo I posted yesterday, just as the sun rose above the horizon and illuminated the canyon walls. You can see that the colors in the sky are gone. The light n the canyon walls are much more intense and has taken on a golden hue. The colors during golden hour in this area are usually so intense that I often have to desaturate my images.
When I started photography, I was always concerned about missing a view that I constantly moved from one spot to another. I didn’t want to miss out on an excellent composition for lack of trying. Later I realized that I was trying out many things hoping one would stick instead of planning and executing one good shot. So now I practice being more methodical and taking my time with my images. At Dead Horse Point SP, the canyon view remains the same, and all you can do is find exciting foreground subjects to add depth. But the other aspect that controls your images is light. This being a desert, the changes in light during a short period is often quite dramatic. So for this series of images, I focused on staying at the same location and capturing the change in light. I love how the light makes it feel like a different place.
A snowboarder executed a nice jump but then crashed into the deep snow. The hill in the foreground blocks the view of the man's torso, giving the illusion that he is buried under the deep snow.
The official snowfall for the weekend was 54 inches!

La Seu Vella o catedral antiga és un monument arquitectònic de la ciutat de Lleida. S'alça sobre un turó que porta el seu nom, des del qual s'albira tota la ciutat, el riu Segre i gran part de l'horta de Lleida. La Seu Vella forma part d'un conjunt monumental integrat també pel Castell del Rei o La Suda i la fortificació militar que els envolta. Tots tres elements estan catalogats com Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional.[1][2][3] El conjunt monumental ha estat triat dos cops Monument Favorit de Catalunya.[4]
La catedral s'ubica al centre històric de la població, i es considera una obra romànica, per bé que presenta elements propis de l'arquitectura gòtica i alguns afegits renaixentistes. Destaca especialment el treball escultòric de les portes de l'Anunciata, del Portal Major i de la Porta dels Fillols, considerades per part de la historiografia com una mostra paradigmàtica de l'anomenada Escola de Lleida.[5] Encarregada a Pere de Coma el 1193,[6] la primera pedra del temple fou posada el 22 de juliol de 1203,[6] i es consagrà el 1278,[7] per bé que l'obra no es va donar per acabada fins a la construcció del cimbori i el cobriment de les naus, el 1286.[8] El conjunt també està dotat d'un claustre, situat atípicament als peus del temple, que es va començar a bastir al darrer terç del segle xiii i no es va acabar fins al segle següent.[9] Fou llavors que es finalitzà el conjunt, amb la construcció del campanar i la porta dels Apòstols.
La Seu Vella sovint s'ha definit com una catedral romànica de monumentalitat gòtica[10] arran de la persistència de les formes de l'art romànic fins al segle xiii, tot i que, davant les dificultats de categorització del conjunt, darrerament s'opta per definir-lo com un dels exemples més representatius d'una arquitectura catalana del segle xiii.[11]
El Turó de la Seu Vella i els seus elements patrimonials els gestiona un consorci entre la Generalitat de Catalunya i la Paeria de Lleida.
Història
Primera catedral cristiana
Porta plateresca de l'antiga capella Santa Maria l'Antiga des del claustre realitzada per Jeroni Xanxo.
Lleida era seu episcopal abans de la invasió sarraïna de l'any 719. Hi ha documents de l'any 419 que mencionen Sagiti com a primer bisbe conegut.[12] Al mateix lloc on hi ha l'actual Seu Vella hi havia la catedral paleocristiana i visigòtica, i que va correspondre a la mesquita major en temps de l'ocupació per l'Emirat de Larida. Els comtes Ramon Berenguer IV de Barcelona i Ermengol VI d'Urgell van conquerir la ciutat de Larida als sarraïns l'any 1149, i va ser el bisbe Guillem Pere de Ravidats, traslladat de la diòcesi de Roda d'Isàvena, qui consagrà la mesquita com a catedral cristiana sota l'advocació de Santa Maria l'Antiga, la canònica quedava regida per la regla de Sant Agustí.[13]
El bisbe Gombau de Camporrells, després de nombroses compres de terrenys i cases a la ratlla del temple, va ser qui decidí d'emprendre l'obra d'una nova catedral, a causa del gran augment de població.[13]
History
The site was previously occupied by a Palaeo-Christian and Visigothic cathedral, which later, after the Islamic conquest of Spain, was rebuilt in 832 to be used as a mosque. In 1149, after the city's conquest by the Christian Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona and Ermengol VI of Urgell (1149), the structure was reconsecrated as "Santa Maria Antiqua", and entrusted to canons regular.
In 1193, however, the cathedral chapter ordered the construction of a new edifice, following the contemporary Romanesque architectural canons, to master Pere de Coma. The first stone was laid in 1203 by King Peter II of Aragon and count Ermengol VII of Urgell. Construction continued throughout the reign of James I of Aragon. It was consecrated to the Virgin Mary on 31 October 1278. The cloisters not were completed until the 14th century. The bell tower was begun in 14th century and finished in 1431.[2] The portal Porta dels Apòstols begun in the 14th and completed in 15th century.[3]
In 1707, the city was conquered by the troops of Philip V: the king ordered the destruction of the cathedral because it has taken a prominent part in the city's defense. Nevertheless, the order was never executed, and the cathedral was converted into barracks. The building was declared a national monument in 1918, and restoration works were started in 1950.
Schloss Schönbrunn am frühen Morgen von der Seite des Haupteingangs, vom Ehrenhof aus gesehen. Im Vordergrund der östliche Brunnen mit den Skulpturen von Johann Baptist Hagenauer. Sie sollen die Königreiche Galizien, Lodomerien und Siebenbürgen darstellen.
Im Osten verdeckten Wolken leider die ganze Zeit die Sonne, wodurch strukturelle Details leider kaum betont werden. Daher habe ich den Kontrast im Bild massiv verstärkt. Die Belichtungszeit wurde mit dem Graufilter Lee Little Stopper verlängert.
Schönbrunn Palace in the early morning seen from the side of the main entrance, the Parade Court. The sculptures in the fountain in the foreground were executed by Johann Baptist Hagenauer and represent the kingdoms of Galicia and Lodomeria as well as Transylvania.
Clouds covering the sun in the east did not give me much contrast, so I increased contrast a lot when processing. This shot was made using the Lee Little Stopper, a ND filter that reduces exposure by approximately 6 stops.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Le cloître de la cathédrale Saint Etienne de Cahors est un véritable chef d'œuvre de l'art gothique flamboyant. Il a été construit entre 1493 et 1553 par l'évêque Antoine de Luzech. Pour y accéder, il vous faut emprunter une porte à droite du chœur quand vous êtes dans la cathédrale.
Tout autour du cloître s'organisent des bâtiments relevant du chapitre. La chapelle Saint-Gausbert, avec ses peintures exécutées à la fin 15e siècle, accueille le trésor de la cathédrale depuis 1972. En son centre, un des 25 Jardins Secrets de la ville se prête à la découverte.
Dans la vie de saint Didier il est écrit qu'il y avait au VIIe siècle, à côté de la cathédrale un cloître et un monastère. Ce cloître a peut-être été reconstruit à la même époque que les coupoles de la cathédrale si on s'appuie sur une porte qui a été conservée et qui présente le même style que le portail sud de la cathédrale.
Une porte, à droite du chœur, permet d'accéder au cloître gothique flamboyant.
En 1493, après la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans, sous l'épiscopat d'Antoine d'Alamand, le chapitre peut financer la reconstruction du cloître. Le chantier commence en 1497 et se termine en 1504. On y trouve les armoiries du chanoine Antoine d'Auriolle et des évêques Antoine de Luzech (1502-1509), Aloïs de Caretto (1514-1524) et Paul de Caretto (1524-1553). Le cloître a peut-être été réalisé par des sculpteurs ayant participé à la construction du cloître de l'abbaye de Cadouin. Le premier étage du cloître n'a pas été réalisé.
Les sculptures profanes représentant des coquillards, des buveurs, des musiciens, un architecte au travail, ont peut-être été copiées sur celles de Cadouin. On peut voir sur une pierre carrée se disputer deux pèlerins, l'un tenant une coquille. Au nord-ouest, la petite Vierge sous son dais de coquilles, est une des rares représentations religieuses épargnées par les protestants quand ils ont prix la ville.
Curiosité : la surface de la cour intérieure est strictement égale à la surface de la galerie qui l'entoure, illustrant ainsi la duplication du carré et le nombre racine carrée de deux qui a fasciné mathématiciens et architectes depuis Babylone.
This palace, which means ‘Stone House’, contains Khiva’s most sumptuous interior decoration, dense with blue ceramic tiles, carved wooden pillars and elaborate ghanch. Built by Allakuli Khan between 1832 and 1841 as a more splendid alternative to the Kuhna Ark, it’s said to have more than 150 rooms off nine courtyards, with high ceilings designed to catch the slightest desert breeze. Allakuli was a man in a hurry – the Tosh-Hovli’s first architect was executed for failing to complete the job in two years.
In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine."

This is one photograph on which I would be happy to stake my reputation as a photographer. As far as I'm aware, it is the only photograph of this historic building taken from directly in front as you see here. The reason why all the other photographs are taken from an angle is that the distance across the street is usually too short to give a complete view of the frontage. And an extremely wide angle lens will tend to distort the image too much.
In this case my plan was to photograph it at night, to take advantage of the lighting (limited though that is - especially at the very top of the building). The early Art Deco styling is truly outstanding and typical of its time of construction in 1915. This marks the architectural shift from Art Nouveau to Art Deco and this building is almost unique in Australia in that regard.
My earlier photographs of the historic Palais Theatre and Luna Park in St Kilda (Melbourne) were a model for this shot, although of course they both needed to be in colour.* The grey and white tones of The National Theatre's original paintwork meant that black and white was the obvious choice here.
*[I will do a re-edit on both those photographs tonight and post them tomorrow - as I am not happy with the original postings, given they were processed before I started using Capture One.]
Speaking of processing, there is plenty here, but no AI. Everything you see is on the original RAW file, but obviously certain parts of the photograph needed to be enhanced by using adjustment layers. Another reason for choosing this angle of shot was to incorporate the building with arched windows on the far right under the glow of the street lamp. It will surprise no art buff to see here the influence of the great Italian Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978).
The National Theatre was opened as a live theatre, but in 1934 became the first in Launceston to show "Talkie" films. It remained a successful cinema until 1969. At present it is the home of one of Tasmania's finest printing firms, Foot and Playsted.
Autumn colour has been prematurely executed this year by Storm Ashley tearing the foliage from the trees. It really has been a short period of colour here in the NW of England, with most of that wonderful autumnal colour now being on the ground, sadly.
It was very much the same story up in the Lakes last week with those remaining leaves being rather dull in colour.
I shot this in Roddlesworth Woods near home when we had a bit low low cloud and mist this week. You can see all the lovely Beech leaves lying on the ground. The mist at least gave the scene a bit of atmosphere!
During the French Revolution the new revolutionary government erected the guillotine in the square, and it was here that King Louis XVI was executed on 21 January 1793. In 1795, under the Directory, the square was renamed from Place Louis XV to Place de la Concorde as a gesture of reconciliation after the turmoil of the French Revolution. After the Bourbon Restoration of 1814, the name was changed back to Place Louis XV, and in 1826 the square was renamed Place Louis XVI. After the July Revolution of 1830 the name was returned to Place de la Concorde and has remained since.
The bridge over the River Derwent was built in 1794 and is still in daily use.
On July 25, 1588, the most infamous event in the history of the chapel unfolded when three Roman Catholic priests were executed by hanging, drawing, and quartering at Derwent Bridge for treason, at the behest of the Protestant Queen Elizabeth I.
Two of these priests, Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlam, were discovered concealed at Padley Manor in northern Derbyshire and apprehended, along with Richard Simpson, for their alleged treason. They were brought to Derby for trial at the Guildhall in the Market Place.
They were collectively known as the Padley Martyrs.

One of the symbols of Bruges is the swan... There exists a nice legend about the swans of Bruges. In 1488 the people of Bruges had executed one of the town administrators belonging to the court of Maximilian of Austria, husband and successor of duchess Mary of Burgundy. The town administrator was called 'Pieter Lanchals', a name which means ' long neck'. The Lanchals family coat of arms featured a white swan. Legend has it that Maximilian punished Bruges by obliging the population to keep swans on their lakes and canals till eternity... Believe it or not but a lot of swans are everywhere in Bruges until now. This city and swans can’t be divided and Bruges can be called Swan City...

Des peintures ont été exécutées sur le mur entourant le chœur entre les années 1316 et 1324. Elles ont été badigeonnées à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Elles représentaient la lapidation et ensevelissement de saint Étienne, le baptême du préfet Dioscorus par saint Genoulph, l'Adoration des Mages, le Couronnement de la Vierge, la consécration de l'autel de la Vierge de Rocamadour par saint Martial et le martyre de sainte Valérie. Elles ont été redécouvertes en 1872 par le peintre et sculpteur de Cahors, Cyprien Calmon. Il en a commencé la restauration en 1873. Si cette restauration reste modérée sur le panneau du couronnement de la Vierge, les panneaux représentant la lapidation de saint Étienne sur le piédroit de l'arc-doubleau du côté nord et l'Adoration des Mages sont entièrement repeints. Les autres panneaux sont des compositions de Cyprien Calmon (1837-1901) qui les a signés.
