One of the tops views of Cell Block Seven that is often photographed. I lucked out and got there early enough before anyone else was in the shot
Some info from the E.S.P. website:
"Most eighteenth century prisons were simply large holding pens. Groups of adults and children, men and women, and petty thieves and murderers, sorted out their own affairs behind locked doors. Physical punishment and mutilation were common, and abuse of the prisoners by the guards and overseers was assumed.
In 1787, a group of well-known and powerful Philadelphians convened in the home of Benjamin Franklin. The members of The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons expressed growing concern with the conditions in American and European prisons. Dr. Benjamin Rush spoke on the Society's goal, to see the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania set the international standard in prison design. He proposed a radical idea: to build a true penitentiary, a prison designed to create genuine regret and penitence in the criminal's heart. The concept grew from Enlightenment thinking, but no government had successfully carried out such a program.
It took the Society more than thirty years to convince the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to build the kind of prison it suggested: a revolutionary new building on farmland outside Philadelphia."

A block of flats in the West Coast Area of Singapore last month. Was the first and so far only time I had to deal with serious moire effects (in the three stairwells). Couldnt remove entirely. Its another tradeoff of the leica m9, it sacrifices the AA filter to improve sharpness at the risk of moire/aliasing artifacts.
edit: moire situation much improved thanks to Nathij below.

This is a typical cell at Alcatraz prison. It measured a mere 5' by 9' much smaller than the standards of a prison today.
However, I have to say I have had many hotel rooms on Manhattan Island NY that weren't much bigger..:-)
A Pixel 3 cell phone running Android 9. For 2019: one photo each day (9/365) and 119 pictures in 2019, #92 "Something you take for granted". We now take instant communications and data instantly available at one's fingertips for granted. And getting directions to and from anywhere as well. What would you do if all the cell towers in your area disappeared? This is not a theoretical question - during most landfalling hurricanes and other weather emergencies, this frequently is the case. Are you prepared?
Cell 3. Lit from under the walkway. Idea stolen from Muddy. Also lit inside the exhaust or whatever it may be.
Inside the isolation cell, complete with a 180 degree mirror enabling staff to monitor the patient without having to enter. This would have been used if a patient had become physically violent and abusive towards other patients or members of staff
Originally constructed of steel and masonry the old Eastern State Penitentiary still stands in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The cell blocks were arranged in a radial fashion around a central hub such that a single guard could observe activity in multiple cell blocks by standing in the center.
I love San Diego beaches. I love the roar of the pounding waves, l love the sand under my feet. I love the cliffs, polished rocks. The there are the sea birds, and the little crabs. But what makes our beaches most interesting to me are the people. The bikini girls, the surfer dudes, There's the skaters, bikers, and walkers. There is people running and doing yoga. I love the game players, and and family gatherings. And I love taking pictures of it all.
While out walking the other day I came across a bit of broken electronics laying on the side of the road. I don't know what it was when it was whole because only a small bit holding these tiny button cell batteries remained. Possibly a small flashlight? As I don't like leaving discarded batteries I find laying around in nature, I stuck them in my pocket and brought them home to dispose of them properly. Before I did I tested them with a battery tester, and despite looking very weathered, they are all good. Guess I'll keep them, they might come in handy for something.

Lincoln's Victorian prison.
'Within months of opening (1848), the prison was crowded. Cholera had struck London's Millbank prison, and convicts due to be sent there had to remain in Lincoln. A wave of rural crime added to the pressure, caused by agricultural depression, and an influx of rowdy labourers (navvies) working on Lincolnshire's new railways, and impoverished Irish emigrants escaping famine.
Without enough cells to hold male prisoners separately, the magistrates abandoned the separate system'
