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…….
Bannack Montana Ghost Town
Founded in 1862 and named after the local Bannock Indians, Bannack was the site of a major gold discovery in 1862, and served as the capital of Montana Territory briefly in 1864, until the capital was moved to Virginia City. Bannack continued as a mining town, though with a dwindling population. The last residents left in the 1970s.
At its peak, Bannack had a population of about ten thousand. Extremely remote, it was connected to the rest of the world only by the Montana Trail. There were three hotels, three bakeries, three blacksmith shops, two stables, two meat markets, a grocery store, a restaurant, a brewery, a billiard hall, and four saloons. Though all of the businesses were built of logs, some had decorative false fronts.
Among the town's founders was Dr. Erasmus Darwin Leavitt, a physician born in Cornish, New Hampshire, who gave up medicine for a time to become a gold miner. Dr. Leavitt arrived in Bannack in 1862, and alternately practiced medicine and mined for gold with pick and shovel.
Bannack's sheriff, Henry Plummer, was accused by some of secretly leading a ruthless band of road agents, with early accounts claiming that this gang was responsible for over a hundred murders in the Virginia City and Bannack gold fields and trails to Salt Lake City. However, because only eight deaths are historically documented, some modern historians have called into question the exact nature of Plummer's gang, while others deny the existence of the gang altogether. In any case, Plummer and two compatriots, both deputies, were hanged, without trial, at Bannack on January 10, 1864. A number of Plummer's associates were lynched and others banished on pain of death if they ever returned. Twenty-two individuals were accused, informally tried, and hanged by the Vigilance Committee (the Montana Vigilantes) of Bannack and Virginia City. Nathaniel Pitt Langford, the first superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, was a member of that vigilance committee.
Situated approximately 10 miles from the modern-day town of Dillon, Bannack now operates as a State Park and National Historic Landmark. History buffs will be enamored. While it continued to serve as a mining town for decades, Bannack was fully abandoned as of the 1970s. Today, its history and urban legends make it a spooky ghost town. The town is known as a site for ample paranormal activity. From murder to public executions, Bannack hosted a variety of dark and bizarre events throughout its heyday. Along with the neighboring town of Virginia City, Bannack also served as the site of many prosecutions and public lynchings. Ghosts of these events are said to linger.

Austria, Vienna, Primavera 2018
La Blutgasse (Vicolo del sangue) si trova in una zona chiamata Blutgassenviertel a Vienna, in Austria. È proprio dietro la Cattedrale di Santo Stefano, è una delle zone più antiche e pittoresche della città . Le case di Blood Alley risalgono al Medioevo, una delle zone più antiche di Vienna. Ci sono molte affascinanti tradizioni che spiegano il nome. Una storia collega della strada alla morte di un gruppo di Cavalieri Templari. Si dice che questo gruppo cercasse rifugio lungo la strada. Sfortunatamente per loro, furono rintracciati, trascinati nella strada sopra e assassinati brutalmente, trasformando la strada in rosso con il sangue e forzando il suo cambio di nome. Un'altra storia menziona il suo precedente utilizzo come via per i prigionieri nel braccio della morte. Si dice che l'ex sito di esecuzione di Vienna si trovasse a un'estremità di Blutgasse. Ciò implicava che molti prigionieri fecessero i loro ultimi passi lungo la strada di ciottoli.
The Blutgasse (Blood Alley) is located in an area called Blutgassenviertel in Vienna, Austria. It is right behind St. Stephen's Cathedral, it is one of the oldest and most picturesque areas in the city. The houses of Blood Alley go back to the Middle Ages, one of the oldest areas in Vienna. There are many fascinating traditions explaining the name. A story connects Blood Street to death of a group of Knights Templars. It is told that this group was seeking refuge along the street. Unfortunately for them, they were traced, dragged to the street above, and viciously murdered. Turning the street red with blood and forcing its name change. Another story mentions its former use as a thoroughfare for death row prisoners. It is told that Vienna’s former execution site sat at one end of Blutgasse. This meant that many prisoners took their last steps along the cobblestone street.

UNHOLY HO-MUSUBI CYBORG ARM Neo Japan event
The Peter and Paul Fortress is the original citadel of St. Petersburg, Russia, founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and built to Domenico Trezzini's designs from 1706 to 1740 as a star fortress. In the early 1920s, it was still used as a prison and execution ground by the Bolshevik government.
This Animated line is a labor or fragile love. Great concept, but terrible, terrible execution. The plastic they used so far has been garbage. If you get'em, handle only with care.
This is a simple, classic still life, of course... It has been set in a hearth, sporting a copper pot courtesy of my mother-in-law Antonia, and a firedog in the background. And it should be tasted listening to this cheery execution of the two Quodlibet by Bach (the so-called Wedding quodlibet BWV 524, followed by the 30th variation ending the Goldberg variations BWV 988 - starting at 10 min 16'').
As for the quodlibet (Latin word for "whatever you wish"), it was a common practice to mix different tunes - most often from folk songs - into one.
It should be noted that according to Forkel, Bach's earliest biographer, quodlibets were a custom observed at Bach family reunions: "they then sang popular songs partly of comic and also partly of indecent content, all mixed together on the spur of the moment. (…) This kind of improvised harmonizing they called a Quodlibet, and not only could laugh over it quite whole-heartedly themselves, but also aroused just as hearty and irresistible laughter in all who heard them."
So quodlibets are endowed with the rich scent and the good humour of familiar, everyday life. Hope that you will enjoy both the picture and the music. Wish you all a good wekend.
Just allow me a concluding linguistic afterthought. For the vast majority of you who do not know Italian, I must say that I love the English phrase "still life" - for in Italian this kind of subject is called a natura morta (i.e. dead nature, dead things). I like much better "still life", which entails the idea that the portrayed things may not be so dead - just temporarily removed from the flux of the life of the world to perform a lasting performance which will render them durable :-)

IMG_9925r Rome Italy
The Colosseum or Coliseum is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

King Bart the Odiferous was royally upset that his well-planned wedding was so terribly interrupted. But there was a bright side to his misfortunes. In the pandemonium of the ruined ceremony, his soldiers had managed to capture a single forester outlaw! What luck! King Bart's favorite pastime was watching the executions, and he certainly wasn't going to miss this one. Unfortunately for the king, the rascally foresters don't take too kindly to their comrades being beheaded, and it seems as if they are about to foil his majesty's well-laid plans once again...
Ryan was kind enough to send Steven and I some of his new Executioner pieces, so obviously we had to build a cool scene with em! ;)
THFAVAGD!
The interior of a rare cello by English luthier Lockey Hill, completed shortly before his execution for horse theft in 1795. In this photo we can see the tool marks of the original maker, as well as new wood and repairs carried out through the centuries. Shot with a Lumix S1R and a Laowa Probe lens, 432 images at various focal distances have been stacked together to give a cavernous feel, as if the cello has become its own recital hall. Photographed whilst under restoration at the String Instrument Company, New Zealand.
With various cells and holdings all across the globe, Aku Corp often find themselves dealing with municipal gangs, whose loyalty is questionable and ulterior motives unknown. Corruption runs deep within these groups, most notoriously inside the Black Lotus, an organization whose reign boasts a sizeable portion of downtown Tokyo. It's use of various businesses as launderers and fronts for black market deals has grown exponentially, catching the eye of local Aku officers.
According to inside sources, the Black Lotus were looking to expand their minature mafia empire, which could most certainly challenge the interests of Aku. Naturally, they sought to eliminate this thorn in their side before it grew into a bushel that could no longer be sheared so easily. The chaos of this new era is far too great to afford any avoidable losses, so therefore the bug is set be squashed under the boot of domination. Power must be asserted, or will otherwise be taken possession of.
With all the heads of the Black Lotus clan rounded up, a ray of eerie red sunlight peeks it's way through the morning smog. As the fog breaks and the sky is revealed, disheveled are each of the former crimelords, now mere shells of men. A small price to pay to avoid what could have been for the Aku Corporation. After all we must be cunning and ruthless in this cruel era; this new World In Darkness.
This is my entry into the world in darkness contest. The schoolyard depicted is that from a concept art piece of the movie Akira.
The Place des Jacobins, in Lyon, France, was created in 1556 and a fountain added in 1856. Notable events that occurred on the square include executions of political opponents in 1590, a big firework to celebrate the peace in 1713, and shows by a temporary theater built by Falconnet and Farge in 1834, was quickly destroyed by a fire (Wikipedia).

THE EXECUTION PLATFORM
A turf rectangular platform with a level top was built. A fence was set up around it with poles and bars nailed between them. A block was placed on top of the platform, covered with a red cloth, but in it there was a narrow chin groove where the condemned were supposed to rest their heads.
AFTOKUPALLURINN
Hlaðinn var ferhyrndur pallur úr torfi, sléttur að ofan, og à kringum hann sett upp girðing með staurum og slár negldar á milli þeirra. Drumbur var lagður á pallinn, hulinn rauðu klæði, en à hann tálgað skarð fyrir hökuna þar sem þau dæmdu áttu að leggjast.
