frosty corner of a field near magpie mine in the uk peak district - the acute angle of the corner with the barn slap bang in the middle, and the way the log was laid really caught my eye.

It's my daughter's Birthday this weekend, so it's off to Bristol for a bit of retail therapy and noodles for lunch!
One of the busiest weeks in a long time, so Alison Moyet in concert on Saturday, Paloma Faith in concert on Tuesday complete with a 42 piece orchestra/jazz band and finally saw the Vienna Festival Ballet perform Swan Lake on Thursday. Great fun, exhausting, but worth it! Will catch up with everyone as soon as I can....
A waning crescent Mercury, with some barely discernible albedo features.Took a while to find in daylight hours, after I eventually found two stars for an accurate alignment of the scope.
Mercury was magnitude 0.69 with angular diameter of 8.65", and was 30.1% illuminated.

El cor i nucli de La Model és el panoptic, element classic dins l'estructura carceraria típica de finals del s. XIX i principis del XX. La idea, com el seu nom intiga era poder controlar visualment tot allò que feien els presoners en tot moment, el que donà lloc a multitud de presons d'estructura radial amb una cupula central, com la Model i moltes altres arreu del món. Però de fet, des del panoptic de la gran majoria d'elles només es podia controlar poca cosa més que la sala central, on no hi havia cap cel·la. Per contra, un exemple realment de panoptic tal i com fou ideat es troba en una presó amb el mateix nom: el Presidio Modelo de Cuba, o la presó d'Arnhem.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidio_Modelo
La presó model s’inaugurà el 1904 i va tancar el 2017. Prácticament d’inici ja va perdre aquesta caracteristica de model amb el que fou disenyada (primer motí ja al 1906), i la sobrepoblació de presoners fou constant, així com unes condicions generalment deplorables. Disenyada per a 1000 presos, al 1940 arribà als 13.000! No només és un punt historic per la historia criminal de Catalunya, sino també com a element esencial en la represió política, molt en especialment per part del regim feixista. Nombroses persones foren executades o partiren cap a la seva execució des de la Model (unes 1600). El més famós executat de tots, el darrer, Salvador Puig Antich.
Ara s’ha obert al public i es pot visitar lliurement. Cal aprofitar-ho ja que es preveu que aviat es començaran a tirar a terra el mur perimetral i bona part dels edificis secundaris. La part central, el panoptic i la majoria de galeries es conservaran, però perdran la pàtina original (ronya, de fet), i fotogràficament no serà el mateix.

===========================================
The "panoptic" or panopticon is the center of the former La Model jail in Barcelona. This kind of radial prison was usual all arround the World in late XIX and early XX Century prisons. Yet most of them were not true panopticons, because, as the name implies, from the panopticon a guard could see all the prisoners and cells at the same time. And from here you could only see the centra distributor, were no cells were located. A real panopticon is the Presidio Modelo in Cuba, or the Koepelgevangenis in Arnhem:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
La Model entered service in 1904 and was closed in 2017, after decades of public demands of closure due to the deplorable condition of the inmates and the bad image for the surroundings. As the name suggests, it was intented to be a modelic prison, but although it was a modern design in early XX Century, soon the conditions deteriorated, and the first mutiny was just in 1906. Designed for 1000 inmates, in 1940 it reached a peak of 13.000 inmates, mostly political prisoners of the fascist Franco regime. Hundres left this place in their way to their execution. The last political victim was Salvador Puig Antich, executed in La Model in 1974. In fact La Model is a very important place to understand the history of the political represion in Catalonia, specially by the fascist regime between 1939 and 1978 (and beyond). Also it reflected the criminal and social problems of Barcelona in the XX Century.
Now the former prison is open to the public, but soon will be partly demolished (the surrounding wall and secondary buildings) to made parks, and the main building redeveloped for civic activities and also a history museum. So the time to take pictures is now or never.
