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.

The Grassmarket is one of the oldest parts of the city, and although the architecture has changed the layout of its open space retains its historic character.
It has always been a bustling market place, in the past with many taverns and inns for the drovers coming to sell their cattle. Today there are still a variety of pubs and independent shops to visit.
The White Hart Inn here is probably the oldest pub in Edinburgh, visited by the poet Robert Burns in 1791 and later by the poet Dorothy Wordsworth.
By the foot of Victoria Street is the recently restored Bow Well. Built in 1681, it was the first provider of piped running water in Edinburgh.
The eastern part of the market was once the site of public executions, marked today by the Covenanters’ memorial.
Perhaps the most remarkable story connected with the place is the tale of Half-Hingit Maggie. After her hanging she miraculously came back to life and was allowed to go free. Look out for the pub named after her nearby.
The Grassmarket was used as a market from the 14th century, with cattle fairs, horse fairs and corn being bought and sold in its wide open space. But this also made it suitable for public executions, with the last hanging taking place here in 1784.
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.

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.

The castle was built by the Venetians in the early 13th c entury. It is among the largest castles in the Mediterranean area. At the south edge of the castle a fortified islet floats. Bourtzi, as it is called, a prison and place of executions during the Turkish Occupation, was built in 1500 and is connected to the Sea Gate of the castle with a paved tiny road.
Chairs and Benches
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 first of many……….

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.
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.
When opportunity knocks, you have to make sure that you have everything just the way it needs to be, nothing left to chance. So when a SD40-2W and BC Rail Dash-9 in red, white, and blue show up, you do everything in your power to make it perfect. With fine tuning done on all of my lights, the execution was all that had to happen. The results are good, and there was a lot less stress wondering if everything was going to be right.

Llandudno Bay and the North Shore, Llandudno, North Wales.

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.

Imposing Jacobean mansion and purported birthplace of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry the Eighth. Originally Tudor, the present house was built by Sir Henry Hobart (1560-1626) on purchasing the estate in 1616. The architect was Robert Lyminge, who designed Hatfield House.
Legend has it that the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn haunts the estate every year on the anniversary of her execution on May 18th.
Der Zwinger im westfälischen Münster ist ein Teil der ehemaligen Stadtbefestigung aus der frühen Neuzeit. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus war er sowohl Gefängnis als auch Hinrichtungsstätte der Gestapo und wurde durch alliierte Bombenangriffe schwer beschädigt. Seit der Umwandlung in ein Mahnmal gehört der Zwinger zum Stadtmuseum Münster und beherbergt die Skulptur Das gegenläufige Konzert.
The Zwinger in the Westphalian city of Münster is part of the old city fortifications from the Early Modern Period. In the Nazi era it was both a gaol and a Gestapo place of execution and was heavily damaged by allied air raids. Since its conversion to a memorial the Zwinger has belonged to the Münster City Museum (Stadtmuseum Münster) and is home to the sculpture Das gegenläufige Konzert.

Pictured are a group of Hmong people who report an attack against them April 6, 2006 by Lao and Vietnamese military forces. 26 people perished, 5 were injured, and 5 babies died shortly after because their dead mothers could not breast-feed them. Only one adult male was killed, the other 25 victims were women and children (17 children). The Lao Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says this is a fabrication, an investigation has been completed, and there was no attack. The Hmong group says no officials have interviewed witnesses or visited the crime scene, a point the Lao Spokesman did not deny.
The Hmong people pictured have hidden in remote mountains of Laos for more than 30 years, afraid to come out. At least 12,000 are said to exist, with little food, scavenging in the jungle. Most have not seen the modern world. Since 1975, under the communists, thousands of reports evidence the Hmong have suffered frequent persecution, torture, mass executions, imprisonment, and possible chemical weapons attacks. Reports of these atrocities continue to this day. The Lao Government generally denies the jungle people exist or that any of this is happening. The Hmong group leader, Blia Shoua Her, says they are not part of the Hmong resistance and want peace. He claims they are just civilians defending their families, hoping to surrender to the UN.

It was defended by a handful of Hungarian warriors from a huge Turkish army in 1552. Géza Gárdonyi pays homage to it in his novel Stars of Eger (Eclipse of the Crescent Moon).
.
The church of the bishopric of Eger founded by king St. Steven was built on the castle hill. It was rebuilt several times, first in Romanesque, later in Gothic style. The stone castle was built after the Mongolo-Tartarian invasion in the 13th c. and it was rebuilt many times until the 18th c.
Now it is home of István Dobó Castle Museum with several permanent exhibitions:
Gothic Bishop's Palace – the history of the castle of Eger;
Hall of the Heroes – exhibition in honour of the defenders of the castle in 1552.
Kazamaták (Underground corridors) – the undreground system of the castle, Romanesque and Gothic lapidarium
Ruin garden – renovated ruins of the Romanesque, Gothic and late-Gothic cathedral.
Picture gallery – works of 16th-19th c. painters.
Prison exhibition – tools of execution, torture, humiliation in past Hungary.
Waxworks
Thanks to the history of the castle and the exhibitions of the castle museum the castle is one of the most visited touristic sights in Hungary.

i didn't get any flowers for valentine's, can you believe it?!? ;)
nah, it's actually fine with me, valentine's only got big in germany a few years ago and hasn't been a major deal in our family ever. whatever you do today: just remember to express your love each and every day of the year in little gestures. i bet most people don't even know who valentine'sday was named after:
Saint Valentine: Holy Priest of Rome: The date of Saint Valentine's birth is not known. Along with Saint Marius and his family, Saint Valentine assisted the martyrs during the persecution they suffered under the rule of Claudius II (also known as Claudius the Goth and Claudius the Cruel). In addition, since Rome was at the time involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns, the emperor found it difficult to recruit the male populace into joining his military leagues. Believing this to be because Roman men were adverse to leaving their loved ones or their familes, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements within the City of Rome. Saint Valentine and Saint Marius, however, continued to perform wedding ceremonies in secret. When is was discovered that Saint Valentine was defying the emperor's decree, he was apprehended and dispatched by Claudius to the Prefect of Rome who, being unable to force the saint to renounce Christianity, ordered that Valentine be clubbed, stoned and then beheaded. According to tradition, while Valentine waited in prison for his execution, he corresponded with those under his care by sending letters and love notes to his parishioners. It is also believed that while incarcerated, the Bishop fell in love with a young woman who visited him during his confinement. According to some sources, this was the blind daughter (whose name may have been Julia) of of Asterius, the jailer. It is said tht God enabled Valentine to miraculously restore the girl's sight. Popular belief indicates that Valentine's farewell message to his love contained a closing that has now transcended time: "From Your Valentine." The saint was executed on February 14 in either 269 A.D. or 270 A.D. In 270 A.D., Pope Julius I is said to have built a church near Ponte Mole in the saint's memory at a location once known as Porta Valentini and now called Porta del Popolo. The relic bones of this Saint Valentine, who may also have been a physician, are now housed within the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome.
valentine's, shmalentine's- have a wonderful day!

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! ;)
