The Registan was the heart of the ancient city of Samarkand of the Timurid dynasty, now in Uzbekistan. The name Rēgistan means "Sandy place" or "desert" in Persian.
The Registan was a public square, where people gathered to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis - and a place of public executions. It is framed by three madrasahs (Islamic schools) of distinctive Islamic architecture.
The three madrasahs of the Registan are: the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420), the Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660) and the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636). Madrasah is an Arabic term meaning school.

The Bridge of Sighs.
From the splendor of council halls, you plunge into the dungeons.
Where CASANOVA conceived and planned her daring escape, cells were unhealthy.
It has this name because of the sighs of the prisoners, who took one last look at freedom before torture or execution. So says the legend.

Chairs, Benches and Seats
This is yet another new series of photographs this time about Chairs and Benches with a few other seating items thrown in.
They can be Regal, Practical, Ultra Design items, Art Installations, used for Potty Training. They can even be vehicles of Execution. They hold immense power and none at all. From the densest populated cities, to the most remote parts of the world. Usually sturdy; reliable; honest; comfortable; often filled with people. People talking, sleeping, with their phones, eating, climbing to reach other items, feeding birds, making love and every scenario one can think of.
The imagination can run riot over the most important conversations that have taken place on them, what they could tell you if they could, what they would tell you if they wanted too. As usual I hope you enjoy what I have posted and this is the next in the series…….
The special sauce of Second Life is that it helps us to feel things. Sometimes it is the tender touch of another human even when they are thousands of miles away. Other times it is the beauty of a song or a work of art that allows us to see into the hearts and minds of artists. Without the pathway to our sometimes unreachable emotions, SL would just be another video game.
Thankfully we have sims like this one to help us listen to the stories in the wind.
Thank you ARCħEŦҰPE11. I can't keep up with your latest name but I will always find a way to keep up with your art. This one poked at one of the hidden places in my heart I keep under lock and key.
For my dear, Monsieur Pistolet : 0)
“Everything in art depends on execution: the story of a louse can be as beautiful as the story of Alexander. You must write according to your feelings, be sure those feelings are true, and let everything else go hang. When a line is good it ceases to belong to any school. A line of prose must be as immutable as a line of poetry.”

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW – AMY WINEHOUSE
Parrots are very social creatures
full-on colours and pretty features
loving and giving and bringing delight
perched on a branch or in full flight
I study them and think anew
of what we can learn and what we can do
smile at a stranger; give the gift of love
offer a helping hand like an angel above
They make me smile with their funny ways
these Rainbow Lorikeets prefer sunnier days
but they seem happy despite the rain; carefree
they love each other that is plain to see
Male and female are hard to tell apart
both are beautiful and warm my heart
she is on the left and he is on the right
it's easier to tell when they're sitting tight
The female has some yellow that mingles with the red
and the male one has the reddest breast and a squarer head
just then they turned towards me and them I am unsure
but does it really matter as long as they adore
They like to eat pollen and nectar and fruit
the male puffs up his rainbow suit
protecting his mate from the other parrots
so she can digest her food but she does not like carrots
They like apples and pears and grapes and sunflower seeds
some figs and nectar to fulfil their needs
papayas and mangoes opened by a fruit bat
make them smile inside like the Cheshire cat
I stayed with them for quite a long while
getting drenched but with a constant smile
and then sadly it was time to go
what a lovely experience; my dreams overflow.

The Zamość Rotunda was built in the years 1825-31, as a defense system for Zamość.
During World War II, the Germans created a camp for arrested people here. Later, in 1942, this facility was also the site of numerous mass executions, which included the population of the Zamość region, including children, until 1943. It is estimated that about 8 thousand people were killed here.

Rotunda Zamojska była wybudowana w latach 1825 - 31, jako system obrony Zamościa.
Podczas II wojny światowej Niemcy stworzyli tu obóz dla ludności aresztowanej. Później, w roku 1942, obiekt ten stanowił także miejsce licznych, masowych egzekucji, jakie obejmowały do roku 1943 ludność Zamojszczyzny, w tym również dzieci. Szacuje się, że pozbawiono tu życia około 8 tysięcy ludzi.
ENG: The way from the atrium to the back exit and the prison of the district court in Berlin's Tiergarten.
The criminal court Moabit in the neo-baroque Still from 1906 in the Turmstraße is the largest contiguous court complex in criminal cases in Europe and accommodates beside the district court Tiergarten, the criminal and execution chambers of the regional court Berlin also the public prosecutor's office Berlin. The district attorney's office is housed in an annex. Far more than 1,500 people work in the criminal court.
The Moabit Criminal Court is one of the most important buildings of the Wilhelminian era in terms of architectural history. With its castle-like dimensions, impressive design and magnificent staircase, the courthouse caused a sensation.
The complex of the listed Criminal Court is supplemented to the east by the star-shaped remand prison, which was built in 1875 and is thus the oldest part of the entire complex. This is connected with secret passages to the courtrooms.
Even more interesting information on the district court can be found here on the German page. www.berlin.de/gerichte/amtsgericht-tiergarten/das-gericht
GER: Der Weg vom Atrium zum Hinterausgang und der Strafanstalt des Amtsgerichts im Berliner Tiergarten.
Das Kriminalgericht Moabit im neobarocken Still von 1906 in der Turmstraße ist der größte zusammenhängende Gerichtskomplex in Strafsachen in Europa und beherbergt neben dem Amtsgericht Tiergarten, den Straf- und Strafvollstreckungskammern des Landgerichts Berlin auch die Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin. Die Amtsanwaltschaft ist in einem Nebengebäude untergebracht. Weit mehr als 1.500 Menschen arbeiten im Kriminalgericht.
Das Kriminalgericht Moabit gehört zu den architekturgeschichtlich bedeutendsten Bauten der wilhelminischen Ära. Mit seinen schlossähnlichen Ausmaßen, der imposanten Gestaltung und der prachtvollen Treppenhalle erregte das Gerichtsgebäude großes Aufsehen.
Der Komplex des denkmalgeschützten Kriminalgerichts wird im Osten ergänzt durch das sternförmige Untersuchungsgefängnis, das im Jahre 1875 errichtet wurde und damit der älteste Teil der Gesamtanlage ist. Dieser ist mit Geheimgängen zu den Gerichtssälen verbunden.

UNHOLY HO-MUSUBI CYBORG ARM Neo Japan event
By Otto Schade ...
As I read the paper this morning of terrorists using a four year old on their propaganda video which showed executions it made me remember this image and how sinister it is ... What is this World coming to ...
The original artwork did not have the peace sign nor the blood effect splatter ...
Without getting even a drop on her head or doing serious damage to the cab or the umbrella. This was a masterful execution of an under appreciated urban skill
But the name has some sinister history:-
The firework is named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria who, according to Christian tradition, was condemned to death by “breaking on the wheel”.
The breaking wheel or execution wheel, also known as the Catherine wheel or simply the Wheel, was a torture method used for public execution primarily in Europe from antiquity through the Middle Ages into the early modern period by breaking the bones of a criminal.
The primary goal of the first act was the agonizing mutilation of the body, not death.
The rest is pretty grizzly - but if you are interested - - -
Bickershaw Colliery near Leigh and how things changed after the miners strike in 1984-5. I would go there many times in steam days and to stand on this spot then there would have been four tracks, all swept away in favour of the one track under the loader. This arrangement required top & tail working from Springs Branch and a full 34 MGR'S would be loaded and away in an hour and a half. A far cry from steam days when the loose coupled 16 tonners would be taken up the incline to Abram Exchange sidings in tens.
* After the closure of Golborne Colliery in 1989, the pits production target was set at an increased 20,000 tonnes a week. However, with targets consistently missed, the 600 miners were balloted on a move to give Bickershaw a stay of execution, against British Coal submitting a report showing the colliery to be unprofitable. Bickershaw and Parsonage Collieries finally closed on 13 March 1992.
Excerpt from mcmichael.com:
Pauta Saila (1916 – 2009), Polar Bear, 1967
Limestone, Gift of City of Toronto
Having carved numerous Arctic animal forms, the artist chose to focus on the bear as his primary subject. His approach emphasizes the mass of the form while maintaining sensitivity to detail in describing movement which illustrates the animal’s hunt for food. With his mastery of execution and simplification of forms, Pauta Saila conveys a sense of the presence of the creatures as well as the drama that is being enacted in nature.

"Just before dawn I have the world all to myself." Terri Guillemets.
The "Markt" (Market Square) has been the main square of Bruges since the 10th century, and therefore, can be considered the heart of this beautiful medieval city. Here events such as festivals, tournaments, riots, executions, and many more events linked to the rich history of the city have taken place over the centuries. In this square there are still monuments as characteristic of Bruges as the 12th century Belfry, and the elegant neo-Gothic building of the Provincial Court. Currently it is mainly a pedestrian space, with the permission of the bicycles, so common in the city, and the public transport. In addition to the many locals and visitors who walk across it, several restaurants have tables and chairs in the square, so if the weather is good, there is always a nice atmosphere on it.
Photographing it at sunrise was of course the best option to capture it without people. However, the businesses here take out the garbage at night, so that it is collected early in the morning. For this reason, I had to find a composition that would allow me to cover as many containers, bags and boxes as possible, in order to minimize the work of cloning the annoying waste that sneaks into the image. As always, I arrived before dawn, to compose calmly and then enjoy a space like this for myself in a totally different atmosphere.

"Justo antes del amanecer tengo el mundo para mí solo." Terri Guillemets.
La "Markt" (Plaza del Mercado) es la plaza principal de Brujas desde el siglo X, y por tanto, se puede considerar el corazón de esta preciosa ciudad medieval. Aquí han tenido lugar a lo largo de los siglos eventos como fiestas, torneos, revueltas, ejecuciones, y muchos acontecimientos más ligados a la rica historia de la ciudad. En esta plaza se encuentran aún monumentos tan característicos de Brujas como el Campanario del siglo XII, y el elegante edificio neogótico de la Corte Provincial. Actualmente es un espacio principalmente peatonal, con el permiso de las bicicletas, tan comunes en la ciudad, y del transporte público. Además de los numerosos locales y visitantes que la recorren, varios restaurantes tienen mesas y sillas en la plaza, por lo que, si el tiempo acompaña, siempre hay mucho ambiente en ella.
Fotografiarla al amanecer era por supuesto la mejor opción para capturarla sin gente. Sin embargo, los negocios que en ella se encuentran sacan la basura de noche, para que sea recogida por la mañana temprano. Por ello, tuve que buscar una composición que me permitiera cubrir la mayor cantidad posible de contenedores, bolsas y cajas, para así minimizar el trabajo a la hora de clonar los desperdicios molestos que se colaran en la imagen. Como siempre llegué antes del amanecer, para componer con calma y disfrutar a continuación de un espacio así para mí solo en una atmósfera totalmente diferente.

I am always striving to improve my processing skills, so it was with pleasure that I've started working through the 7.5 hours of the Lightroom RAW Processing Video recently put together and released by Mark Metternich as Ultimate Lightroom RAW. Mark is not only incredibly skilled as an artist, and filled with more knowledge than I can imagine, he is also a great teacher, able to take things step by step to enable understanding and ease of learning.
So for the processing of this image, I thank Mark.
For the execution, i thank my waders, and a little luck with the sun god.

Kingdoms of Blue and Red clash in an epic conflict! Widespread war has engulfed both of these lands. Which side will win, and which side will face utter destruction?
Here is my MOC that I built for RebelLUG's Kingdoms At War Collaboration.
I'd like to hear your feedback!
Be sure to check out the collab on Instagram, and on YouTube!
I built a bunch of medieval execution and torture devices back in November for a school project and am showcasing a few of them here. I guess you could say this build is a part one of two, with part two coming in two years or so. Yup, this is my last build for the next two years. I'll say more in my 2021 recap that I'll post soon.
This build was quite fun and the execution methods especially were exciting to design. I'm particularly proud of my stock design and the chopping block.
This is also my entry to the Rogues & Outlaws category of Brickscalibur.
Let me know what you think and have a nice day!
