Execution for piracy.
Sometimes the executions don't need to be so fancy and expensive. Just grab a chain, some weight, and toss them out in the open sea. While sinking into the depths, with your last breath you can think about, "being a pirate is alright with me"...
From the August 2016 return trip to Siem Reap and the Angkor complex:
I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
Today is really the excuse that I used to come back to Siem Reap for a week. Mao was nice enough not to schedule any other customers for today since it’s my 43rd birthday, and also for Saturday. (Another reason, I think, is that I wanted to see all of the non-major sites and most everyone else is only interested in the major ones. So…thanks to Mao for giving up a few bucks from others just to make sure I got to see all that I wanted these two days.)
Mao came to pick me up around 10:00 in the morning with his wife and adorable daughter. Today, we pretty much followed the small loop tour that we did yesterday (and that most tourists do). However, we skipped every spot from yesterday (Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm’s main temple, Ta Keo, Thommanon, Chao Say Tevoda, Bayon) and opted for the others along the same route.
The first stop of the morning was Prasat Kravan. This is a particularly interesting – and small – temple that consists mainly of one building with a central tower, but five chambers lined up in a row. Prasat Kravan was built in the early 10th century (consecrated in 921) and is built of brick. It was built during the short reign of Harshavarman I. The name is the modern name (though I don’t know the original name) and means “cardamom sanctuary,” for a tree that once stood here. From an architectural standpoint, what is most interesting – and what caught my attention – is the brick bas-reliefs here. They are the only known representation of these in Khmer art and are reason alone to visit here. The central tower has a statue of Vishnu and the northernmost has a statue of his consort, Lakshmi.
After 15-20 minutes at Prasat Kravan, Mao took me to Bat Chum, which was quite near. (It wasn’t on my list, so kudos to Mao for adding a few stops that I otherwise wouldn’t have seen; as I said, the man knows the territory, and I highly recommend him to anyone who comes here.) Bat Chum is a very, very small site (under restoration, though it looks like even the restoration has been forgotten) a few hundred meters due south of Sra Srang, and a few hundred meters east of the road from Angkor Wat to Banteay Kdei. When Bat Chum was built in 960, there were houses and a Buddhist monastery nearby, which have long since vanished. This temple was built by the lone Khmer architect whose name we know: Kavindrarimathana. He also built the palace of the East Mebon and Sra Srang. This is a temple with three brick towers. There are stone lions and interesting inscriptions here as well.
From Bat Chum, we returned to the main road, skirted along the eastern and northern sides of Banteay Kdei’s outer wall, then along the southern and western sides of Ta Prohm’s outer wall. Most people enter Ta Prohm from the western gate (as evidenced by the massive throng of tuktuks here) or the eastern gate (where you will find a slew of souvenir vendors). As far as I can tell, there is no southern gate – as I imagine you’d see it flying by on the road. (Banteay Kdei does have a northern gate, though people don’t seem to stop here.) Ta Prohm does have a rather charming and rarely visited northern gate that I was unaware of. Again…thanks, Mao. Just stop on the road at the northwest corner of Ta Prohm’s outer wall and walk east along the north wall for about five minutes to find the northern gate, surrounded by jungle.
Next up on today’s tour is a very small site that, from what I know, doesn’t even have a name. (Mao didn’t even know the name of the place, so it’s just titled ‘Unnamed Site’ here.) It’s very small, almost an afterthought, but still worth a look. It’s on the road heading due north from Ta Prohm’s west gate about 100-200 meters south of where it heads to the west to Ta Keo. It’s barely 50 meters off the road, so is very easy to visit in 10 minutes or so.
Right at the point where the road takes a 90 degree turn to head west to Ta Keo, you have the option of going straight (down a fairly bumpy dirt road) to Ta Nei. This is actually a larger temple, but unlike the others nearby, it hasn’t gone under extensive restoration yet, so it isn’t visited very often. It’s 800 meters north of Ta Keo, set back in the woods, and is 200 meters west of the Eastern Baray’s western border. It was built by Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century. The highlights of coming here are simply the setting, the pediments, and the overall lack of visitors.
After half an hour or so at Ta Nei, Mao and I hopped back in the tuktuk and returned to the main road, heading west past Ta Keo before veering north and making a very quick stop at the Hospital Chapel that is 150 meters due west of Ta Keo (slightly north). This is a very quick – 5 minute – stop that interested me simply because it was/is part of a hospital that’s close to a thousand years old now. It was built by Jayavarman VII (like so many of the Angkor sites) in the late 12th century. This sandstone monument is one of four that were on site here (and, from what I’m reading, one of 102 that were found throughout the empire). Honestly, seeing this just makes me wonder about 12th century medicine. What would a Khmer hospital at the turn of the 13th century have been like?
Moving north from the Hospital Chapel, the road takes another 90 degree turn to the west. Before entering the Victory Gate of Angkor Thom, you pass Thommanon and Chao Say Tevoda (bypassed, as already mentioned), and then Spean Thma, near a bridge that crosses the Siem Reap River. (The Siem Reap River, today, is more like a gentle stream, though it was used to transport the quarried rock from Phnom Kulen to Angkor to build these massive temples a thousand years ago.) That aside, I decided to bypass Spean Thma for now.
Once inside the Victory Gate, which I mistakenly called the East Gate in May (it is on the eastern wall), we turned south on a dirt path about 100-200 meters inside Angkor Thom and traveled south, parallel to the wall. After less than 5 minutes, you arrive at the road that runs directly east from Bayon to the East Gate, otherwise known as the Slaves’ Gate or Gate of the Dead. (From the names, obviously, if anyone who didn’t belong to the royal family saw this gate…bad news for them.) According to Mao, the slaves were marched out this gate on the way to their execution. Grim history aside, it’s a rather nice gate, well-restored, with some good angles for shooting. It’s certainly worth a visit, especially since it’s so easily accessible – and there are rarely many people around.
After this quick stop, we took the road due west to the heart of Angkor Thom – Bayon – then headed up the road towards the North Gate, where the majority of Angkor Thom sites are located (just north of Bayon). Passing by Baphuon, Phimeanakas, the Elephant Terrace, Terrace of the Leper Kings (all on the west side of the main road), and the Kleangs and Suor Prat Towers (east side of the main road, with the towers being bisected by the road heading east through the Victory Gate), we turned off just north of the Terrace of the Leper Kings to the west to see Tep Pranam – very briefly – and Preah Pilalay.
Tep Pranam is simply a statue of a giant seated sandstone Buddha, still in use for worship today, that was built around the 16th century. If this were in an out-of-the-way place, it may not be worth the time. However, it’s in the heart of Angkor Thom and it’s impossible to go to Preah Pilalay without seeing it if you come by tuktuk. (This isn’t a complaint by any means; it’s rather nice.) Preah Pilalay is in the northwest section of Angkor Thom and is fairly remote (given the amount of tourists that the other nearby sites see). Its main features are a tall chimney-like structure, a few nagas, and its setting in the forest. It was built in either the 13th or 14th century, possibly by Jayavarman VIII or, perhaps, by Jayavarman VII. It’s about 200 meters north of the royal enclosure (Phimeanakas). Some of the larger trees that used to tower over the temple have been hewn resulting in a very different feel. However, it was a pleasant side trip.
Hopping back in the tuktuk and going directly across the road, the last stop for the day inside Angkor Thom was the Preah Pithu group. This is a collection of five temples/ruins in the northeastern section of Angkor Thom that is in a delightful wooded setting. If you can see them in early morning or late afternoon, you should get some wonderful lighting. You can spend as little as 15 minutes here or as much as an hour or two. They probably weren’t designed to be one cohesive group, though it’s not possible to say with certainty. They were built in the 13th century. (Though I mention this as the last stop, I’ve also included the North Kleang and Northern Suor Prat Towers here. Though I didn’t explore those in depth, I am giving them their own set here – Kleangs and Suor Prat Towers.)
On the way out of Angkor Thom, via the South Gate, we stopped outside the moat for a few pictures. Directly south of Angkor Thom are a few temples that I wanted to see: Thma Bay Kaek, Prasat Bei, and Baksei Chamkrong.
We visited them in that order. Thma Bay Kaek is nearest the road about 50 meters southwest of the bridge over the southern moat. All that remains here are the ruins of a square brick tower. It’s probably the remains of one of many temples that were here in the Bakheng area. It was built in the 10th century by Yasovarman I.
About a five minute walk - -if that – due west of Thma Bay Kaek is Prasat Bei (“Three Towers”). Unlike Thma Bay Kaek, these towers are still standing, so obviously, slightly more photogenic. They would probably be best photographed in early morning. The trees block it from the west in late afternoon. It, too, was built by Yasovarman I in the 10th century.
The last of the three temples in this area, Baksei Chamkrong, is the most impressive of the three. It’s from the early and middle 10th century (rededicated in 948) and was built by Harshavarman. This is a pyramid temple at the foot of Phnom Bakheng. The name means “the bird with sheltering wings,” though – like most temples here – this is a modern appellation that the builders wouldn’t have recognized. This tower is a single brick tower on a pyramidal base.
Finally, to finish up the day, Mao dropped me at Phnom Bakheng. It’s about a 20 minute walk up the hill around a winding path. This is considered to be one of the best places to watch sunset over Angkor Wat because of its panoramic view from the peak of the hill. However, everyone knows this, and this is the only place all day that was too crowded for my liking. In addition to its being under restoration to the point of making it a bit of an eyesore (for the time being), it was easily my least favorite place of the entire day. After waiting in line for 20 minutes and barely moving an inch, I decided to call it a day, taking 1-2 pictures (that you see here), and heading back down the hill.
Mao had disappeared into the throngs of people eating at restaurants. Fortunately for me, he spotted me. On the way back to the guesthouse, he stopped and picked up a birthday cake which we shared with the folks who happened to be at the guesthouse. All in all, it was a wonderful birthday. Tomorrow, too, would be just me and would include the lesser-visited sites on the Grand Tour Loop, in addition to 1-2 others.
As always, I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.

Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.

Commander's log, date 05.03.2735:
My execution came and went. I had been 'cuffed again, and a hood had been put over my head. I was ready to die. I figured I could at least die with the satisfactory knowledge that I hadn't given away any DDF secrets. But then I heard some screams. They were the screams of the guards, as Jim was decapitating them. He rescued me, and I was quite astounded to see him. After all, I had believed him to be dead. But he explained the situation to me. He had actually come across a DM underwater patrol in the pond. It was the DM underwater patrol's blood I had seen, not Jim's. But he had gotten caught on a rock down there, so it was a while before he surfaced. He found a lone DM soldier and killed him to get weapons. Then he gathered intel and found me. And what a relief that was! Now, Jim and I shall return to base to resume our normal activities.

The automation via robotic solutions like warehouse execution software and warehouse robots is becoming trendy as they are proving to be an excellent way to boost productivity and efficiency within the fulfillment and distribution centers.
A wall in the courtyard of the camp that was used for firing squad executions. Though many prisoners were killed this way, it was not common.
This shot isn't quite what i was aiming for. I wanted to get the expanding gas wave-front when the match head ignites. However, I do think it looks quite interesting. Check out the very cool gasses shooting out of the match head inside the flame!
I thought I would experiment with different ways of igniting the match head and see which produced the best result. This one is 5 Amp fuse wire wrapped around the head and shorted out on a 12v battery. It worked well but was a pain to set up!

Did this a few weeks ago with some mates. Dusty V doing the wire wool spin and Nick with the gun to my head (which I think he enjoyed more than he should of done).

Lage
***************************************************************************************************************
.
.
Die Ruine Jörgenberg liegt auf dem äussersten F.elssporn eines langggezogenen
Höhenrückens östlich der Gemeinde Waltensburg - rätoromanisch "Vuorz" genannt.
Jörgenberg war neben K.ropfenstein, der Burg G.rünenfels und der Burg V.ogelberg eine
der ursprünglich vier Burgen in Waltensburg und war bereits in der m.ittleren B.ronzezeit
besiedelt.
.
.
***************************************************************************************************************
Geschichte
***************************************************************************************************************
.
.
Jörgenberg wird erstmal 765 in Bischof Tellos Testament als castellum erwähnt. Eine weitere
frühe Erwähnung findet sich im rätischen Reichsurbar aus der Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts: Da
wird bereits von der ecclesia sancti Georgii in Castello gesprochen, der St. G.eorgskirche in
der Burg.
Damit ist die Jörgenburg eine der am frühesten schriftlich bezeugten Burganlagen Graubündens.
Die Erwähnungen bestätigen, dass die spätere Burganlage aus einem frühmittelalterlichen
Kirchenbau hervorgegangen ist.
Nach dem 9. Jahrhundert fehlen für die Jörgenberg für längere Zeit Urkunden.
Über schriftliche Quellen verfügt man erst wieder am Anfang des 14. Jahrhunderts: Da
erscheint sie als Besitz der Herren von F.riberg. Diese waren edelfreien Standes und hatten
ihren Sitz oberhalb des Dorfes S.iat unweit von Waltensburg.
Von ihrer Stammburg sind noch wenige Trümmer erhalten. Noch vor ihrem Aussterben hatten
die F.riberger 1330 beide Burgen an Ö.sterreich übertragen und sie als L.ehen zurückerhalten.
Nach dem Tod des letzten Fribergers um 1330 beanspruchten die mächtigen Freiherren von
V.az das Lehen und besetzen Jörgenberg, um damit einer ö.sterreichischen Besetzung zuvor
zu kommen. Dagegen wehrten sich diese und verbündeten sich mit den Freiherren von
R.häzüns. Ö.sterreich anerkannte jedoch 1341/1342 die Ansprüche des Hauses V.az. Die
Jörgenberg wurde, zusammen mit dem Sitz der Friberger in S.iat, als Lehen der mit Rudolf
von W.erdenberg - S.argans verheirateten Ursula von V.az, (* 1310) vergeben.
1343 verzichteten die G.rafen von W.erdenberg als Erben des Hauses von V.az auf alle
Rechte an den beiden Burgen und überliessen sie im gleichen Jahr gegen eine Entschädigung
von 1000 Mark den Freiherren von R.häzuns.
Diese kauften 1378 noch die benachbarte Herrschaft der Herren von G.rünenfels dazu und
vereinigten die beiden Gebiete zur neuen Herrschaft Jörgenberg. 1430 erhielten die R.häzünser
von K.önig S.igismund die Bestätigung des Bannrechts für Sankt Jörgenberg. Die Burg wurde
in der Folge Z.entrum eines wichtigen Herrschaftszentrums mit Sitz eines K.astellans mit
weitreichenden Befugnissen.
Nach dem Aussterben der R.häzünser um 1450 kam Jörgenberg nach langem Erbstreit 1458
in den Besitz von Jos Niclaus von Z.ollern, dessen Mutter Ursula eine Angehörige der "Herren
von R.häzüns" gewesen war. Graf Jörg von W.erdenberg wurde mit 3000 Reichsgulden
abgefunden und verzichtete auf weitere Ansprüche.
1462 verkaufte die "von Zollern" die Herrschaft Jörgenberg unter Vorbehalt einiger Gebiete
und der regionalen Bergbaurechte dem K.loster D.isentis. Die Burg bildete allerdings weiterhin
ein Zentrum für die gesamte Herrschaft und blieb Sitz des K.astellans, der nach wie vor die
S.teuern einzog. Auf ihr wurden G.efangene eingekerkert und, falls verurteilt, auf dem nahen
G.algenhügel hingerichtet.
1539 verkaufte der D.isentiser Abt Jörgenberg an Mathias von Rungs (surselvischer
Geschlechtername für Derungs), der sich verpflichten musste, für den Unterhalt der K.irche
zu sorgen.
Ab 1580 war die Familie Gandreya (romanisch Candreja) im Besitz der Burg, welche sie noch
bewohnt haben soll. Seine Nachkommen verkauften die Burg 1734 der Gemeinde, in deren
Besitz sie noch heute ist.
Da die Besitzfrage jedoch offenbar nach wie vor unklar war, kaufte sich die inzwischen zum
reformierten Glauben übergegangene G.emeinde durch den hohen Betrag von 4500 Gulden
von K.loster D.isentis frei und kam dadurch rechtsgültig in den Besitz der Burg. Im Vertrag,
der im Gemeindearchiv von Waltensburg liegt, hatte sich der A.bt von D.isentis den Titel "Herr
von Jörgenberg" ausbedungen.
Spätestens im 17. Jahrhundert aber setzte der Zerfall der Anlage ein. 1930 wurden durch
den schweizerischen Burgenverein unter der Leitung des Architekten Eugen Probst umfang-
reiche F.reilegungs- und S.icherungsarbeiten durchgeführt. Die Finanzierung erfolgte durch
Mittel aus dem Nachlass von Anton Cadonau; an ihn erinnert eine b.ronzene G.edenktafel
im I.nnenhof.
Leider wurden die Untersuchungen archäologisch unsachgemäss durchgeführt.
1997 bis 2001 erfolgte eine Gesamtkonservierung der Anlage mit Beiträgen von Bund, Kanton
und Gemeinde und zahlreichen privaten Spenden.

Anlage
***************************************************************************************************************
.
.
Auf der N.ord- und O.stseite war die Anlage durch einen steilen F.elssturz gegen jede
Annäherung geschützt. Auf der steilen, aber nicht unpassierbaren S.üdseite finden sich
Reste von Aussenbefestigungen.
Im W.esten wurde die Burg durch einen tiefen und breiten G.raben vom B.ergrücken abgegrenzt.
Das Burgareal hat die Form eines D.reiecks, dessen Basis im W.esten vom G.raben gebildet
wird. Hier stand eine mächtige S.childmauer, deren T.rümmer sich heute hier türmen. Dieser
vorgelagert liegen die R.este älterer U.mfassungsmauern. In der S.üdwestecke steht der gut
erhaltene fast quadratische mächtige B.ergfried (W.ohnturm) mit gegen zwei M.eter dicken
M.auern.
Der H.ocheingang lag auf der O.stseite ist als R.undbogentür gestaltet, ebenso der Austritt
auf eine L.aube in der S.üdwand. Der fünfgeschossige B.au mit romanischen doppelten R.undbogenfenstern in den zwei obersten G.eschossen entstand wohl kurz nach 1265. An
der N.ordwand war ein A.borterker angebracht. Der B.au trug vermutlich ein Z.eltdach.
In der N.ordwestecke der A.nlage stand ein T.rakt mit mehreren W.ohn- und W.irtschafts-
g.ebäuden, die offenbar in verschiedenen B.auetappen errichtet worden waren: Der P.alas
kurz nach 1351, anlässlich des Wiederaufbaus der Burg nach einem B.rand; die Nebenbauten
sowie die n.ördliche U.mfassungsmauer entlang des nördlichen P.lateaurandes später.
Diese Gebäude wurden bis ins ausgehende Mittelalter vielleicht nicht bewohnt, aber doch
als S.cheune oder Vo.rratsräume benutzt. Weitere Gebäude mit unbekanntem Bestimmungs-
z.weck lagen am F.uss des B.ergfrieds und in der O.stpartie des Ar.eals.
Das weitere V.orburgareal war nicht überbaut, sondern nur von einer R.ingmauer umgeben.
Vom äusseren T.or in der S.üdwestecke der A.nlage gelangte man durch einen Z.winger
zum inneren T.or mit vorgelagertem G.raben. Der weitläufige I.nnenhof war mehrheitlich
nicht überbaut. Im mittleren Teil liegt die aus dem F.els gehauene Z.isterne.

Südwestlich der B.urganlage stehen in einer Entfernung von etwa 600 Meter die zwei
steinernen R.undpfeiler des einstigen Ga.lgens von J.örgenberg und W.altensburg. Sie
wurden 1998 restauriert.

K.irche St. Georg

Neben der T.oranlage lag innerhalb der Mauer eine dem heiligen G.eorg geweihte K.irche,
deren hufeisenförmige A.psis wohl bis ins 8. oder 9. Jahrhundert zurückreicht. Das erhaltene
M.auerwerk der K.irche mit einfachem S.aalbau stammt aus dem 12./13. Jahrhundert.
Der C.horbogen aus T.uffsteinquadern ist auf der S.üdseite original erhalten, im nördlichen
Teil wurde er 1930 rekonstruiert. An der N.ordostecke des S.chiffs steht ein schlanker
romanischer G.lockenturm. Wie eine dendrochronologische U.ntersuchung ergab, stammt er
aus dem Jahr 1070.
Westlich der K.irche wurde eine schwache Umfassungsmauer entdeckt, die offenbar einen um
die K.irche gelagerten F.riedhof umgab. Die darin entdeckten G.räber stammen aus dem Früh-
und Hochmittelalter und deuten darauf hin, dass die K.irche ursprünglich eine Pfarrkirche
gewesen war.
