Reading about this cell at the KGB prison in Vilnius caused me catch my breath, and emotion to prick at the eyes. The floor of the cell was filled with water, cold water. The prisoner was then made to stand on the circular plinth in the middle and not move. This went on for hours, and if they fell in to the freezing water they were forced to get back on the plinth once more. Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds.

As I was walking around Ames Park last month after Hurricane Matthew had torn through, I was grabbing some final shots as a young woman walked by, leisurely strolling along talking on her cell phone. I thought how much things have changed since I was her age.
There was a time that walking around a place like this for me would have been peaceful, and contemplative. If I were young again, it would be in solitude if I wanted it, or perhaps not, if I wished someone was there enjoying it with me. I would have been focused on the beauty around me, and if I was with someone else, I might be focused on that person. Looking at the girl walking by on her cell phone made me aware of the fact that so many young people no longer have a clue of what it's like to walk in solitude. They are constantly in touch with others, and never seem to be fully engaging in their surroundings. Aside from missing out on the beauty around them they're not paying attention to, they don't seem to know how to be by themselves. It makes me wonder how they will fare many years from now, when they are old and lose a spouse, or don't have children at home, or friends nearby. How will they cope when they are finally alone with themselves? When there is no constant voice or text to keep them looking at a screen, or if they can't SEE the screen so well anymore, will they suddenly not know what to do with themselves? Will solitude disturb them? Will they be self-sufficient enough to stand alone without technology? Will the day really ever come when that could happen?
As I walked along, I realized that although I had a cell phone in my pocket, I didn't care to be on it at that moment. I was totally engrossed in the place, and the day, and the beauty and horror of it, as things had been torn down, and in between the beauty was some ugliness, but that IS, after all, life, isn't it? It troubled me less than seeing the girl walking through, almost oblivious to the changes and the things that were still the same. Cell phone solitude is not my kind of solitude. I rather hope it never will be.

Star log, entry 21, year 2038: The Urag Cell blocks Are small but not dirty or smelly, which is a relief.
The green toilet has me wondering though...
The cell doors are Ludgonious's design
Well here I find myself in an abandoned industrial location , This area is what is called cell 3 if I remember , The only way in here is to slide down a rusty chain about 20 foot , I must say it was cool to see and creepy to hear the echo’s coming out from the large tubes at each end ,Ok shots taken in super-fast time as its almost total darkness down there and it’s getting late anyway, Getting out was fun to say the least due to the shape of the tunnel ,It all ended up with me being pulled up with a hook under my foot holding on to this rusty chain lol ,Thanks to the guys for their help and a great explore. This place was also used in a film; you can see parts of it on the link below time 3:25
This is a view from one of the 'luxury' or comfortable prison cells within the walls of the infamous Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin. Built in 1796 when Ireland was under British rule Kilmainham Gaol replaced an old dungeon style internment institution. Conditions were extremely bad and amongst the many murderers and conmen there were prisoners as young as 8 years old, interred hard labour for stealing food. Following the Easter rebellion against British rule in 1916 a number of Irish rebels were interred in Kilmainham before being executed in the stone breakers yard of the prison. The prison closed some years later then fell into decay and disrepair before being rescued and refurbished by volunteers in the 1960's. Kilmaniham Gaol is now in the care of the State and is a tourist attraction. A number of movies were made there including Michael Collins, In The Name of The father and The Italian Job, amongst others.

Just a quick spontaneous build; I may make more of these in the future.
In other news, I’ve not yet chosen the next B:TAS episode to build, but I’ve narrowed it down to a few top contenders. I’m searching for a Marvel build idea to finalize; I have a few, but not all the pieces I want for them; so yeah. Also, I’m very, very excited for an upcoming leaguer build; just waiting on one important piece to arrive (mid-week) before I can begin on it.

Almost everyone in London seemed to have a cell phone of one kind or other. It was therefore quite surprising to observe so many venerable old style phone booths still around. Other than making for handy rain shelters, can't imagine how they are cost justified. They are rather attractive reminders of the past, however.

The entrance to a row of cells in the Ohio State Reformatory, in Mansfield.
These steel cell blocks, stacked 6 levels high, have been 'home' to more than 150,000 inmates. From the prison's opening in 1886 to it's closure in 1990, over 200 of those inmates never made it out.
The massive building is now open to the public, but you can easily find yourself alone in one of the many dark and decaying cells.

Outside wall of a police station, the exterior structures possibly marking the position of the cells, though this is not something of which I have any personal knowledge :-)
Plymouth, Devon, England
1/2
Upper floor cells, 4 on each floor, so each small cell would have housed at least 2 inmates when the 'Richmond Sixteen' were imprisoned there.
Heading east, the long line of cells continues their march to the coast. Light between storm cells from the setting sun for a minute or two
I took these from inside the car with the camera resting on the side vision mirror. In the meantime JF was out on the road 100 metres in front frantically waving with lightning strikes to the south and north hitting quite close, for me to drive forward and pick him up, never saw him just left him to the elements, received a censure though...lol
The lightning strikes did not all occur at once, only seconds apart though , the foreground not as tack sharp as I would prefer, pleased just the same as the camera only steadied with the outside mirror...:))
