......the old stocks outside the Ypres Tower. They face immediately towards the Ypres Inn (it was just behind me as I took this shot), so the potential for ultimate humiliation couldn't be underestimated for the poor souls who ended up in them. Imagine the reaction from the drinkers! Rye, Sussex
-------------------
Bank Holiday weekend away in Rye. An added bonus was the Jazz Festival being held in Rye which we didn't know about until we got there.
Rye is a small town in East Sussex, which stands approximately two miles from the open sea and is at the confluence of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In medieval times, however, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel and almost entirely surrounded by the sea.
Rye is officially a civil parish but with its historic roots has the status of a town. During its history its association with the sea has included providing ships for the service of the King in time of war, and being involved with smuggling gangs of the 18th and 19th centuries such as the notorious Hawkhurst Gang who used its inns such as The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn, connected by secret passage way.
Those historic roots and its charm make it a tourist destination, and much of its economy is based on that: there are a number of hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, tea rooms and restaurants, as well as other attractions, catering for the visitor. There is a small fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and other vessels.
In the mid 1980s, Rye was used as a filming location by LWT for its adaptation of the Mapp and Lucia novels. The post-Monty Python film Yellowbeard also had a few scenes filmed on the cobbled street.
The feature film Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. was filmed in Mermaid Street. It starred Gregory Peck and was made in 1951. Mermaid Street serves as Hornblower's wife and mother's house in Portsmouth.
Other residents of the town and environs have included:
-Joan Aiken (1924–2004), children's author, daughter of Conrad Aiken
-Tom Baker (1934–), British actor, best known for playing the Doctor in Doctor Who between 1974-1981.

-Geoffrey Bagley (1901–1992) Canadian war artist who settled in Rye post war & then worked to preserve the town's historic mementos and places.

The Drum Tower, originally built during the reign of Kublai Khan, was the site of the murder at the opening of the Beijing Olympics.
It was also the symbol of Chinese humiliation by the West and Japan, when they supressed the Boxer Rising (1898 - 1900) at the beginning of the last century.

Constructed in the aftermath of the humiliating defeat of the Franco-Prussian War and the bloody Paris Commune, funded by the ultraconservative Cult of the Sacred Heart of Christ, Sacré-Cœur was controversial from the start (the claim "to expiate the crimes of the Commune" and the common belief of it as "moral penitence for the excesses of the French Second Empire" does not help) and remains subject to periodic complaints. It is of Romano-Byzantine design and is made up of Travertine, which due to its ability to extrude calcite, keeps the basilica white even after years of pollution. It is fronted by statues of France's National Saints Joan of Arc and King Saint Louis IX.

Oh the humiliation. And we all laughed at him while he shook his head from side to side and pawed frantically at the doggles trying to get them off...
I only got this one semi-decent photo because he was moving around so much.
Thank you to Miyon for sending these doggles! They fit perfectly and I love them. As for Boogie, I'll keep working on him. I want to take some better photos, haha!
i happened to be walking by a baseball field on my way home from a morning of shooting in the park ... i felt sorry for this nice big doggie for having to put up with his owner's taste in fashion ...
"Oh mom! Why did you have to drag out that thing?" (the camera)

Random inspections of people take place all the time. They may be a neccesity but they can also be very humiliating.
