The White Tower is the landmark monument of Thessaloniki. It was built in the 15th century AD, after the conquest of Thessaloniki by the Ottomans in 1430. Known as a prison and a place of terrible torments and executions of convicts (a.k.a. the Blood Tower), became the symbol of Thessaloniki, since it remained standing alone on the seafront since 1911, after the demolition of the walls surrounding it and its enclosure.
It is about 34 m high and has a diameter of 22 m. It consists of a ground floor and six upper floors. The roof offers an excellent view of the city and Mount Olympus. The inner helical staircase is made of ninety-two steps. Forty windows allow daylight to illuminate the interior of the tower.
Today the White Tower houses the new permanent exhibition concerning Thessaloniki from the time of its foundation in 316/15 BC until the present day. The exhibition presents in a concise way aspects of the history of the city, which is distinguished by its centuries-long, unbroken historical presence. The exhibition is organized thematically. Each floor presents a theme that develops over time.

In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.
As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.
Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).
The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.
On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.
In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.

A basilica is a church with an ordinary roof that does not have a domed shape. It is such a building, built in the X century, located on the main square of the city.
When Georgia became a Christian country, mass executions of priests and adherents of paganism took place on the territory. At the same time, temples were rebuilt in the church, leaving no chance for another religion. From the largest building where the pagans worshiped their gods, they made a three-nave Christian basilica. But the churches did not stand for a long time and by now have already been destroyed.
Uplistsuli in translation from Georgian means "Church of the Prince." The uniqueness of the temple lies in the fact that it was built in a purely Georgian style: the side rooms from the main are separated by walls, not columns.
Near Uplistsuli you can see the ruins of the basilica, defeated in the era of resistance to Christianity.

“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.

Photo : Coccinelle dans le bois de Sillé-le-Guillaume. La coccinelle est un animal bien aimé, qui, dit-on, quand il vient nous porte chance. C’est un animal protagoniste de tant et tant légendes dans beaucoup de traditions séculaires. Au XXe siècle, un homme, accusé d’avoir assassiné son patron est condamné à la décapitation. Il proteste (en vain) avec véhémence. Au moment où le bourreau va abattre sa hache, il remarque une coccinelle posée sur le coup du pauvre homme. De sa grosse main, il la retire délicatement, reprend sa hache et s’apprête de nouveau à infliger la sentence lorsqu’il aperçoit la coccinelle située sur le coup du condamné. Le roi, présent comme à chaque exécution, y voit un signe divin et décide de gracier l’homme. Quelques jours plus tard, le vrai meurtrier est découvert. Une autre version, datant de la même époque, explique que les pucerons ravageaient les récoltes, ce qui allait engendrer une grande période de famine. Désespérés, les fermiers se mirent à prier la Sainte-Vierge. Par la suite, des nuées de coccinelles atterrirent et dévorèrent les pucerons, ce qui sauva les récoltes. Les fermiers virent en cet événement une intervention divine.

Foto: Mariquita en el bosque de Silé-le-Guillaume. La mariquita es un animal querido, que, se dice, cuando llega nos trae suerte. Es un animal que protagoniza numerosas leyendas en muchas seculares tradiciones. En el siglo XX, un hombre acusado de haber asesinado a su jefe es condenado a decapitación. Él protesta (en vano) con vehemencia. Justo cuando el verdugo está ya a punto de bajar su hacha, ve una mariquita posada sobre el cuello del pobre. Con su gran mano la retira con delicadeza, toma su hacha y se dispone nuevamente a imponer la sentencia cuando ve la mariquita situada en el cuello del condenado. El rey, presente como en cada ejecución, lo vio como un signo divino y decidió perdonar al hombre. Unos días después, se descubre al verdadero asesino. Otra versión, que data de la misma época, explica que los pulgones asolaban los cultivos, lo que provocaría una gran época de hambruna. Desesperados, los agricultores comenzaron a rezar a la Santísima Virgen. Posteriormente, enjambres de mariquitas aterrizaron y devoraron los pulgones, salvando las cosechas. Los agricultores vieron este evento como una intervención divina.
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 idea of a national garden in Singapore started in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore and a keen naturalist, developed the first ‘Botanical and Experimental Garden’ at Fort Canning. It was only in 1859 that the Gardens at its present site was founded and laid out in the English Landscape Movement’s style by an Agri-Horticultural society.
The Gardens has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Content: Production Quality
Subject choice is good but the production value of the execution and overall image quality is not high enough to be competitive. This may relate to various elements, including setting, background detail, styling details, model choice, quality of light, retouching, general attention to detail.
It was to be five domes, based on the model of the Holy Sepulcher of St. Anthony in Padua, as the client, Pastor Johann Ulrich Julius, wanted it. But such an execution clearly exceeds the financial means of the parish. But master builder Johann Georg Fischer built the desired five domes, not visible from the outside, as a so-called pendentive dome without a drum ring, a nave dome, a dome above the crossing and in the choir, as well as the domes in the two side chapels.
In 1727 Fischer delivered the final design, and the first mass could be celebrated in the church as early as 1733. Fischer entrusts the construction work to his foreman Paul Bienz.
Ignaz Finsterwalder contributes significantly to the splendid furnishings with his stucco. The frescoes, created by Matthias Wolcker and Anton Wenzeslaus Haffe, are also excellent work.

This unusual grade II listed building was described by Britton in his 1837 book as “the most elaborate in execution; its whole exterior being covered, or cased with pieces of sticks of various sizes split in two”. Designed in the early nineteenth-century this lodge originally housed two families employed by the Cassiobury Estate.

Llandudno Bay and the North Shore,
For most of the length of Llandudno's North Shore there is a wide curving Victorian promenade. The road, collectively known as The Parade, has a different name for each block and it is on these parades and crescents that many of Llandudno's hotels are built. The North Wales Theatre, Arena and Conference Centre, built in 1994, and extended in 2006 and renamed "Venue Cymru" is located near the centre of the bay.
By 1847 the town had grown to a thousand people, served by the new church of St George, built in 1840. The great majority of the men worked in the copper mines, with others employed in fishing and subsistence agriculture.
In 1848, Owen Williams, an architect and surveyor from Liverpool, presented Lord Mostyn with plans to develop the marshlands behind Llandudno Bay as a holiday resort. These were enthusiastically pursued by Lord Mostyn. The influence of the Mostyn Estate and its agents over the years was paramount in the development of Llandudno, especially after the appointment of George Felton as surveyor and architect in 1857. Between 1857 and 1877 much of central Llandudno was developed under Felton's supervision. Felton also undertook architectural design work, including the design and execution of Holy Trinity Church in Mostyn Street.

Today it houses the Information and Tourism Office, the Municipal Library and an Exhibition Hall.
Se ubica en la localidad burgalesa de Covarrubias, en Castilla y León. Fue construido en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1963, incrustado en las murallas, de las que en adelante fue puerta norte y que a su vez le sirvieron de estribo. A mediados del siglo XVIII desaparecieron los pocos restos que aún quedaban en aquel lado.
Tiene forma de prisma pétreo de base rectangular, tres alturas con ventanas renacentistas, notable rejería, gran escudo en el centro y contrafuertes en esquinas y junto al arco de entrada. Traza y proyecto se deben a Juan de Herrera, ejecución a Juan de Vallejo, quien aportó detalles platerescos.
El edificio, que fue declarado monumento histórico-artístico el 13 de julio de 1961 y cuenta en la actualidad con el estatus de Bien de Interés Cultural.
Está también incluido dentro del área delimitada como Bien de Interés Cultural, en la categoría de conjunto histórico, de la localidad.

It is located in the Burgos town of Covarrubias, in Castilla y León. It was built in the second half of the 16th century and restored in 1963, embedded in the walls, of which from now on it was a north gate and which in turn served as a stirrup. In the middle of the 18th century, the few remains that still remained on that side disappeared.
It is shaped like a stone prism with a rectangular base, three floors with Renaissance windows, a remarkable grille, a large shield in the center and buttresses in the corners and next to the entrance arch. Layout and project are due to Juan de Herrera, execution to Juan de Vallejo, who contributed Plateresque details.
The building, which was declared a historical-artistic monument on July 13, 1961 and currently has the status of Asset of Cultural Interest.
It is also included within the area delimited as a Site of Cultural Interest, in the category of historical complex, of the town.

I recently undertook a flying visit to the Peak District to see Brad and Barb who were visiting from the States. On the trek back home, I reached the Ramshaw Rocks just as the sunset was ending. It was too good an opportunity to miss so it was a quick sprint up to the ridgeline, find a decent looking outcrop and move until the composition was vaguely presentable.
I know it would have been better to take more time over planning and execution, but sometimes you have to do the best you can in the circumstances....

According to Wikipedia, the enclosed Bridge of Sighs bridge is made of white limestone and has windows with stone bars. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo (officially there are only three canals in Venice, the rest are "rios") and connects the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace (here on the left) to the New Prison. The bridge was designed by Antoni Contino, whose uncle Antonio da Ponte had designed the Rialto Bridge, and was built in 1602. The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals. In addition, little could be seen from inside the bridge due to the stone grills covering the windows.
This image was captured from a bridge on the Riva degli Schiavoni shortly after 11 PM (after the day trippers have left) and Venice has become manageable again. During the day the bridge from where this image was captured is packed with street merchants selling most anything and with tourists on the way to and from St. Mark's square.

This is a view looking south-west along the north bank of the River Thames at high tide. The buildings, mostly refurbished old warehouses, mostly face onto Wapping Wall (those in the foreground) or Wapping High Street (those in the distance) on their inland side.
The Prospect of Whitby public house is the second building in the foreground behind the modern block of flats. Three individuals in blue, white and black shirts are visible on the pub's riverside terrace. Below and to the left of them in the image is a noose hanging from a post in the river. Some say that this was placed to commemorate Judge Jeffreys, a notorious 17th century judge who sentenced many river criminals to death. His nickname was “The Hanging Judge” as he showed little mercy. Others say that it marks the spot of Execution Dock. However, this is all a bit of historic license.
Execution Dock was more commonly known as King Henry's Wharf or Gun Wharf and is associated with a cannon foundry making guns for Henry VIII's navy. It later became the site for hanging marine criminals, sailors and pirates on the orders of the British Admiralty. That wharf is actually visible in the photo - it protrudes into the river on the very far left of shot some 575m beyond the pub, beyond all those gentrified warehouses.
I suspect Judge Jeffreys, or any other spectators on the pub's terrace, would have struggled to see anything of the wharf at the time of an execution, if only for all the activity in the warehouses and ships in between them...
The most famous death at the wharf was probably that of the infamous pirate, Captain Kidd, who was hanged at the dock in 1701. For maximum deterrent effect, the executions were usually carried out at low tide and three high tides were allowed to wash over the corpse before it was cut down and buried. The last such execution took place there as recently as 1830.
Wapping Beach would extend some 30m or so from the foot of the shoreline right into the distance at low tide.

Édouard Manet pintó esta obra en 1867, mismo año en Maximiliano de Habsburgo fuera ejecutado por fuerzas republicanas en México. El contenido anti-imperialista de la obra en tiempos de Napoleon III hizo que fuera severamente criticada en Francia y estuvo oculta hasta 1879, año en que Manet la llevó a Estados Unidos para su exhibición.
