Carta (Sibiu County): Cistercian monastery
The city and monastery of Carta are located 43 km from Sibiu on the road to Brasov. Here are preserved the ruins of the Cistercian monastery, one of the oldest and most important monuments of the primitive Gothic church in Transylvania. The Cistercians are a monastic order originating in France and widespread in several countries.
The Carta Cistercian Abbey played a major role in the political, economic and cultural history of medieval Transylvania, as well as in the introduction but also in the dissemination of Gothic art in the inter-Carpathian space.
The monastery was founded in the years 1205-1206 by King Andrew II of Hungary.
The beginnings of the monastery are confirmed with the erection of its first buildings, used, as the Cistercians used it, from perishable materials, that is to say wood. These can be dated with relative certainty between the years 1205-1206.
The stone parts of the monastery will be erected between the years 1220 and the end of 1230. The construction of the monastery was carried out in two main phases of execution, chronologically interrupted by the great Tatar invasion of 1241.
In the first phase of construction, which has stylistic characteristics dependent on the late Romanesque, the general plan of the monastery was drawn, the walls delimiting its inner courtyard being raised to a height of 3-4m above the ground.
In 1260, after the assassination caused by the Mongol invasion in the spring of 1241, construction work will resume under the direction of a new architect, trained in the environment of mature Gothic, and with the contribution of a workshop of stone with an eclectic structure.
By 1300, the church and the eastern wing of the Charter Monastery were completed, with the completion and construction of the southern wing of the abbey continuing for approximately two decades.
The fierce struggles with the Ottomans from 1421 to 1432 and the decline of the order made the church and its monastery a ruin. This also led to its closure by King Mathias Corvin in 1474.
However, the west facade is still standing and above the Gothic portal is a large rose window. The tower attached to the facade was built later, in the middle of the 15th century, and its transformation into a bell tower took place later.
Currently, the monastery no longer has all the original buildings and annexes, many of which collapse. The vaults of the huge church have collapsed and there are only a few exterior walls and two interior beams (south and north). To the south, there is still a single Roman column, and the side ships, according to the Cistercian plan, end in a small square choir. The main ship no longer has a ceiling - in its place is a cemetery in memory of the German soldiers killed in the First World War.
The Reformed Church today occupies only the choir and the apse of the old basilica. The Gothic portal has probably been moved from a side entrance and its profile betrays Gothic influences.
Numerous examples of the tombs of the founders of Cistercian churches allow the existence of a royal necropolis under Carta.

Man was it fun to build again. I'm spending so much time at my laptop either doing school work or games my eyes start to hurt a lot. I've found that building was just a very therapeutic way to have something fun to do without straining my eyes at a screen all the time. Because of this, I may be back building more sets and scenes :) Also this is my application for Dark Times 2.0, which you guys should totally check out. Custom clones may be a thing from me in the future, as well as I want to make more Purge stuff, so stay tuned!
Execution Rocks Lighthouse. A lighthouse dating back to 1867. It is located in the middle of Long Island Sound on the border between New Rochelle and Sands Point, New York. It stands 55 feet tall, with a white light flashing every 10 seconds. It has an attached stone keeper’s house which has not been inhabited since the light was automated in 1979. In the muddy waters low tide reveals a group of menacing and jagged rocks. Known as Execution Rocks. Legend has it condemned Revolutionary War prisoners and Colonials faced death in these unforgiving waters at the hands of British soldiers. Chained here at low tide, fated prisoners slowly drowned as the tide rose.
And that’s how the lighthouse got its name.
I saw max's build and felt like trying it out. It came out okay but I don't feel like I did it enough I'm probably going to try for a larger build over fall break in a few weeks.
Is this any better Mark?

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.

Representation of the papal Renaissance patronage, ancient site of games, fairs, popular shows and executions, the square is certainly one of the most famous in the world
At the center of the square stands the obelisk called "Flaminio" (pictured 14), 23.20 meters high and bearing the hieroglyphics of Seti I (1318-1304 BC), defined as "the one who fills Eliopoli with obelisks because their rays can illuminate the temple of Ra ". It was the first obelisk to be transferred to Rome, at the time of Augustus (in 10 BC), to celebrate the conquest of Egypt: as a symbol of the Sun, it was placed in the Circus Maximus and then raised in Piazza del Popolo, by order of Sisto V, March 25, 1589. At its feet was the fountain of Trullo, by Giacomo Della Porta, today in Piazza Nicosia: in fact, in the nineteenth century, the square was completely transformed by Valadier, who replaced the previous fountain of Trullo with the four current round travertine pools, surmounted by as many lions of white marble and Egyptian style, from whose mouths the water flies out.
On the south side of the square, almost sentinels of the Trident, there are the twin churches of S. Maria in Montesanto and S. Maria dei Miracoli, initiated by Rainaldi and finished by Bernini and Carlo Fontana in 1675 the first, in 1678 the second. To create a focal point on the square, the churches had to be two symmetrical buildings, but the space available on the left side was smaller. Rainaldi solved the problem by equipping S. Maria dei Miracoli (on the right) with an octagonal dome and S. Maria in Montesanto (on the left) of a dodecagonal dome, cleverly crushing the latter in the available space.

Rappresentazione del mecenatismo papale rinascimentale, antica sede di giochi, fiere, spettacoli popolari ed esecuzioni capitali, la piazza è sicuramente una delle più famose al mondo
Al centro della piazza si innalza l'obelisco detto "Flaminio" (nella foto 14), alto metri 23,20 e recante i geroglifici di Seti I (1318-1304 a.C.), definito "colui che riempie Eliopoli di obelischi perché i loro raggi possano illuminare il tempio di Ra". Fu il primo obelisco ad essere trasferito a Roma, al tempo di Augusto (nel 10 a.C.), per celebrare la conquista dell'Egitto: come simbolo del Sole, venne collocato nel Circo Massimo ed innalzato poi in piazza del Popolo, per ordine di Sisto V, il 25 marzo 1589. Ai suoi piedi si trovava la fontana del Trullo, opera di Giacomo Della Porta, oggi in piazza Nicosia: difatti, nel XIX secolo, la piazza fu completamente trasformata dal Valadier, che sostituì la precedente fontana del Trullo con le quattro attuali vasche rotonde di travertino, sormontate da altrettanti leoni di marmo bianco e di stile egizio, dalle cui bocche esce l'acqua a ventaglio.
Sul lato sud della piazza, quasi a sentinelle del Tridente, sorgono le due chiese gemelle di S.Maria in Montesanto e di S.Maria dei Miracoli , iniziate dal Rainaldi e terminate dal Bernini e da Carlo Fontana nel 1675 la prima, nel 1678 la seconda. Per creare un punto focale sulla piazza, le chiese dovevano essere due costruzioni simmetriche, ma lo spazio disponibile sul lato sinistro era minore. Rainaldi risolse il problema dotando S.Maria dei Miracoli (a destra) di una cupola ottagonale e S.Maria in Montesanto (a sinistra) di una cupola dodecagonale, schiacciando abilmente quest'ultima nello spazio disponibile.
Dawn breaks the morning after yet another announcement to confirm the delay of the introduction of the new Mk5 stock on the Caledonian Sleeper Highlander service. With the Mk5s on that route now not likely to be introduced until the Autumn, the 35-40 year old Mk2s (pictured) and Mk3s will be kept running in full passenger service for another few months.
Likewise, the Class 90s which have worked Sleeper trains for three decades will perform one last stint before they are no longer able to work the trains anymore (due to ETS and coupling incompatibility).
Freightliner Class 90, 90049 - on hire to GB Railfreight for use on the sleeper services - works the Up Highlander (1M16) south through Winsford.

El palacio de los Guzmanes es un palacio renacentista del siglo xvi situado en la plaza de San Marcelo junto a la Casa Botines en la ciudad de León, España. Su traza se debe al maestro Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón,1 si bien se ocupó de su ejecución Juan de Ribero Rada. A pesar de quedar inconcluso se convirtió en el palacio más destacado de la ciudad.
El palacio renacentista
Fue mandado construir por D. Ramiro Núñez de Guzmán, antiguo líder comunero, sobre los solares que ocupaban las casas señoriales de su linaje. La familia de los Guzmanes era uno de los linajes leoneses más antiguos.
D. Ramiro quiso aprovechar la situación de sus antiguas casas en una de las zonas principales de la ciudad para edificar un palacio de nueva planta que destacase y se diferenciase del entorno urbano por sus dimensiones y por adoptar la tipología y estética de la arquitectura “a lo romano” o renacentista.
Con relación a su estructura y distribución interna, el edificio tenía que conjugar el ámbito privado como residencia de la familia con la esfera pública en la cual las partes nobles del palacio eran el reflejo de la categoría y nobleza de sus propietarios.
The Guzmanes Palace
is a Renaissance palace from the 16th century located in the San Marcelo Square next to Casa Botines in the city of León, Spain. Its design is attributed to the master Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, although its execution was overseen by Juan de Ribero Rada. Despite being left incomplete, it became the most prominent palace in the city.
The Renaissance palace was commissioned to be built by Don Ramiro Núñez de Guzmán, a former leader of the comuneros, on the land where the ancestral homes of his lineage once stood. The Guzman family was one of the oldest noble lineages in León.
Don Ramiro wanted to take advantage of the location of his former houses in one of the main areas of the city to construct a completely new palace that would stand out and differentiate itself from the urban surroundings due to its size and its adoption of the "Roman-style" or Renaissance architecture.
Regarding its structure and internal layout, the building had to combine the private space as the family's residence with the public sphere, in which the noble parts of the palace reflected the status and nobility of its owners.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD ("People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs", the Soviet secret police) in April and May 1940. Though the killings also occurred in the Kalinin and Kharkiv prisons and elsewhere, the massacre is named after the Katyn Forest, where some of the mass graves were first discovered.
The massacre was initiated in NKVD chief Lavrentiy Beria's proposal to Stalin to execute all captive members of the Polish officer corps, approved by the Soviet Politburo led by Joseph Stalin. Of the total killed, about 8,000 were officers imprisoned during the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, another 6,000 were police officers, and the remaining 8,000 were Polish intelligentsia the Soviets deemed to be "intelligence agents, gendarmes, landowners, saboteurs, factory owners, lawyers, officials, and priests". The Polish Army officer class was representative of the multi-ethnic Polish state; the murdered included ethnic Poles, Polish Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Polish Jews including the Chief Rabbi of the Polish Army, Baruch Steinberg.
The government of Nazi Germany announced the discovery of mass graves in the Katyn Forest in April 1943. Stalin severed diplomatic relations with the London-based Polish government-in-exile when it asked for an investigation by the International Committee of the Red Cross. The USSR claimed the Nazis had killed the victims, and it continued to deny responsibility for the massacres until 1990, when it officially acknowledged and condemned the killings by the NKVD, as well as the subsequent cover-up by the Soviet government.
An investigation conducted by the office of the Prosecutors General of the Soviet Union (1990–1991) and the Russian Federation (1991–2004) confirmed Soviet responsibility for the massacres, but refused to classify this action as a war crime or as an act of mass murder. The investigation was closed on the grounds the perpetrators were dead, and since the Russian government would not classify the dead as victims of the Great Purge, formal posthumous rehabilitation was deemed inapplicable. In November 2010, the Russian State Duma approved a declaration blaming Stalin and other Soviet officials for ordering the massacre.

This poor queen ant was killed before even being able to start a colony. Still pretty rewarding to photograph!
An old repurposed frame from a macro assignment. The idea was simple, the setting simple, and so was the execution.
If there's a nice habit to get into photographically...it's getting published. Lately, I appear to be on a roll. This shot features on Page 14 of today's issue of The Guardian...and I also had one published in The Telegraph ( The Way of the Drum ) yesterday...then there were two in the Evening Standard ( Is He Having a Laugh? being one of them ) last week...one in The Times ( A Segue to Success? )....one in London Lite...and another shot in The Guardian ( Dance Machines ) the week before.
May I just take this opportunity to say..."Woo-Hoo!". :-)

rather theatrical protest against executions in iran taking place in whitehall today as huge crowd of mainly middle-class anti-brexit marchers filed past.
In many countries death penalty, execution is still practiced.
Crucifixion is one of many methods of execution: gas chamber, hanging, lapidation, death-chair, decapitation, stake, lethal injection, execution by firing squad,
guillotine

Beginning in 1942, the Natzweiler Struthof concentration camp also became a discreet execution site for many of those condemned to death. The firing squad was made up of the camps SS guards.
More than 460 people were known to habe been executed today, including at the crematorium. But the exact figure is difficult to establish. Men and women murdered at Natzweiler were not all registered in the camp and for the most part were murdered without a trace.
Some of the executions were carried out in the sand quarry. One of the most striking of these executions was that of thirteen young Alsatians from Ballersdorf. On the night of 12 to 13 February 1943, they had tried to pass into Switzerland to escape forced inscription into the German army. Arrested and sentenced to death after a summary trial, they were shot in the Natzweiler sand quarry on 17 February.

La sablière, lieu d’exécution
A partir de 1942, le camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof devient aussi un lieu discret d’exécution pour de nombreux condamnés à mort. Ce sont les gardes SS du camp qui forment le peloton d’exécution.
Plus de 460 exécutions ont été recensées à ce jour, y compris au crématoire. Mais le chiffre exact reste difficile à établir. Les hommes et les femmes assassinés à Natzweiler n’étaient pas tous immatriculés au camp et sont pour la plupart été assassinés sans laisser de traces.
Une partie des exécutions a lieu dans cette sablière. L’une des plus marquantes est celle de treize jeunes Alsaciens de Ballersdorf. Dans la nuit du 12 au 13 février 1943, ils avaient tenté de passer en Suisse pour échapper à l’incorporation de force dans l‘armée allemande. Arrêtés et condamnés à mort après un jugement sommaire, ils ont été fusillés le 17 février à la sablière de Natzweiler.

Exekutionsort Sandgrube
Ab 1942 wird das KZ Natzweiler-Struthof in aller Diskretion auch zu einem Ort, an dem zahlreiche zum Tode Verurteilten hingerichtet werden. Die Hinrichtungskommandos bestehen aus den SS-Wachen im Lager. Bis heute weiß man von über
460 Exekutionen, die auch im Krematorium stattfanden. Doch die genaue Zahl ist schwer zu ermitteln, denn die Männer und Frauen, die in Natzweiler ermordet wurden, waren nicht immer als Lagerinsassen erfasst, und die meisten von ihnen wurden in aller Heimlichkeit ermordet.
Ein Teil der Exekutionen fand in dieser Sandgrube statt.Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte die Hinrichtung von 13 jungen Elsässern aus Ballersdorf, die in der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13 Februar 1943 versucht hatten, sich der Zwangsrekrutierung durch die Deutschen durch Flucht in die Schweiz zu entziehen. Sie wurden gefasst und in einem Schnellverfahren zum Tode verurteilt und am 17. Februar in der Sandgrube in Natzweiler erschossen.
