LNER Class 91 91111 "For the Fallen" arrived at London Kings Cross on 1a25 1045 Leeds - London Kings Cross on 23/05/2021
Royal Route: The city has some buildings surviving from the time of the Hanseatic League. Most tourist attractions are located along or near Ulica Długa (Long Street) and Długi Targ (Long Market), a pedestrian thoroughfare surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical (primarily during the 17th century) style and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates. This part of the city is sometimes referred to as the Royal Route, since it was once the former path of processions for visiting Kings of Poland.
The Golden Gate is a historic Renaissance city gate in Gdańsk, Poland. It is located within the Royal Route, the most prominent part of the historic city center and is one of its most notable tourist attractions. It was created in 1612–14 in place of a 13th-century gothic gate, the Brama Długouliczna. Wikipedia
The virtues of Peace, Freedom, Wealth, Fame, Piety, Justice and Concord are depicted in allegorical statues adorning the balustrade of this gate overlooking ul. Długa. Designed by Flemish architect Abraham van den Blocke, it was built between 1642-44, later destroyed during WWII and not restored until 1997. An inscription on the gate reads, “Small states grow by concord, great ones fall by disagreement.” As you walk through the gate, you are now on ul. Długa (Long Street) - the heart of Gdańsk Old Town.
Prison Tower & Torture Chamber
Originally built as part of the city’s fortifications in the second half of the 14th century, the complex was rebuilt by Antoni Van Obberghen between 1593 and 1604 with the smaller of the two buildings becoming a torture chamber and courthouse while the larger tower became the prison. It was here that executions were carried out until the middle of the 19th century. Damaged during WWII, it has been extensively renovated and how houses the Amber and Torture Museums.
The Petranaki arena, also known as the Arena of Justice and commonly referred to as the Geonosian execution arena, was brought about by both a need for entertainment in the rigid Geonosian society, and an efficient way of disposing of otherwise resource-draining prisoners. The most popular attractions used deadly beasts in combat, resulting in the extinction of some of the more crowd pleasing creatures on Geonosis.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang_Woo-kyu:
Kang Woo Kyu (姜宇奎, April 20, 1855 – November 29, 1920) was a doctor of Korean medicine and a fighter for Korean independence during the Japanese colonial period. In 1919, Kang tried to assassinate Saitō Makoto, who was serving as the Governor-General of Korea, but failed.
Kang's remains were first buried at a cemetery in Sinsa-dong, Eunpyeong-gu. They were later moved to Suyu-ri, Jindo in 1954 and to the Seoul National Cemetery in 1967. In March 1962, Kang was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for National Foundation.
A Chinese poem written in Kang's will just before his execution at Seodaemun Prison was preserved in the Independence Hall of Korea.

So this is a failed attempt for me.
The international space station was flying directly over the city the night I took this.
Poor execution on my part led my images of the station to be less than post-worthy.
But I do like Pittsburgh in the blue hour - so here is a ISS-Less image of Pittsburgh.
During the height of the Galactic War, the Trade Federation has spread Republic forces thin. When the Jedi depended most on their clone army to support them during their conquest, they turned on them.
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!
The first part of the day, long day ends with Passwords. The group, which is followed in the distance in recent months has clearly increased in intensity, size, strength: its beautiful classic songs are extended in time, muscular in their execution, we seek noises and rub their ears do not hesitate the firedamp explosion or baffles unpredictable, spend a gloss rather classic rock, the beautiful sense of the term, progressions most surprising, kind of shoegazing-Progo quite elegant and rather efficient. To follow, always so: the guys promise again in the coming months, big changes. by Thomas Burgel
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.
Broughty Castle is a historic castle on the banks of the river Tay in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, Scotland. It was completed around 1495, although the site was earlier fortified in 1454 when George Douglas, 4th Earl of Angus received permission to build on the site. His son Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus was coerced into ceding the castle to the crown. The main tower house forming the centre of the castle with four floors was built by Andrew, 2nd Lord Gray who was granted the castle in 1490.
The castle saw military action during the 16th-century War of the Rough Wooing. After the battle of Pinkie in September 1547, it was surrendered by purchase to the English by its owner, Lord Gray of Foulis. A messenger from the castle, Rinyon (Ninian) Cockburn, who spoke to the English supreme commander the Duke of Somerset before the castle was rendered was given a £4 reward. The Scottish keeper, Henry Durham, was rewarded with an English pension, income from the fishing, and an import/export licence. Durham later lent the English commander £138. William Patten, the English writer who accompanied Somerset, noted the castle's strategic importance;
"it standeth in such sort at the mouth of the river Tay, that being gotten, both Dundee and St. John's Town (Perth), and many other towns else shall become subject to this hold or be compelled to forgo their use of the river."
The position of the old castle itself was advantageous to modern warfare, as it was discovered that the swift river current made naval bombardment impractical. Soon after taking possession, the English garrison further fortified Broughty by building a ditch across the landward side of the castle's promontory. Edward Clinton began the refortification, on the advice of an Italian engineer, Master John Rossetti, and left 100 men guarded by three ships. William Bruce of Earlshall feared the English would build an outpost on the south say of the Tay. The garrison was first led by Sir Andrew Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland's brother, who hoped to distribute Tyndale's Bible in Dundee. Andrew Dudley wrote in October 1547 that; "never had a man who had so weak a company of soldiers given to drinking, eating and slothfulness," although, "the house stands well." His garrison included Italian and Spanish soldiers, and he hoped that Grey of Wilton would send him an expert French surgeon. The town of Dundee agreed to support the garrison and resist the Governor of Scotland, Regent Arran on 27 October 1547. The Constable of Dundee, John Scrimgeour, and the baillies and council signed the agreement, although under the duress of Dudley's two gunships.
The Earl of Argyll tried to capture the castle on 22 November 1547 and again in January 1548 with 150 men led by the soldier Duncan Dundas, without success. Thomas Wyndham brought two more ships in December 1547 and burnt Balmerino Abbey on Christmas Day. On 12 January 1548, one hundred matchlock guns were delivered from Berwick, with powder flasks, matches, touch boxes, and bullet moulds. Sir Thomas Palmer and the Italian military engineer "Master John", Giovanni di Rossetti,who was made master of ordnance at Broughty, made plans to improve the fortifications, noting that the castle was overlooked by a nearby hill. In February 1548, 100 workmen were sent from Berwick and new armaments including falcon guns, cannonballs for demi-culverins, bows, bills, pikes, cresset lights, cables and anchors. Palmer set to work fortifying the hill in February and also considered ambitious plans to build a citadel in Dundee with the demolition of the church and tolbooth. Andrew Dudley waited for lead to make a new platform (probably for artillery) on the castle tower in March 1548.
Andrew Dudley was succeeded by John Luttrell who had been the commander at Inchcolm. On 11 May 1548, the English commander at Haddington, Grey of Wilton wrote to Luttrell that he could not expect more supplies because of the expected French fleet. Grey of Wilton warned him against Scottish assassins in June, and Somerset required him to dismiss the German mercenaries in his command. There was some relief for Luttrell, as Lord Methven took away the guns of the Scottish counter-battery for redeployment at the Siege of Haddington on 6 June 1548.
Meanwhile, Luttrell had been ordered to build a new fortification on an adjacent site. In November he wrote to Somerset describing the progress of this work explaining that the ramparts made from turf were unstable and could not be strengthened. Luttrell said his enemies would not need guns; "for theye shall fynde hytt fallen downe redy to ther handys." In December 1548, Patrick, Lord Gray of Foulis, was summoned to account for his treasons against the Government of Scotland, and although the French commanders argued for his execution, he was eventually pardoned at Regent Arran's command.
In February 1549 Luttrell was joined by Pedro de Negro and his band of Spanish soldiers. In July Luttrell complained that the Spanish soldiers had not yet received pay or clothing.
Thomas Wyndham and his nephew Luttrell's activities on the Forth were called into question in November 1549, and the Earl of Rutland was required to investigate whether one of the ships they had seized was a lawful prize. On Christmas Day 1549, Mary of Guise held a conference at Stirling Castle with her guests, and they agreed that more French guns could be brought to besiege Broughty. Robert Hamilton of Briggis directed labourers called "pioneers" to dig entrenchments for the guns.
Twelve English ships arrived to support the defenders and it was 12 February 1550 before the French and Scots managed to recapture Broughty. Mary of Guise watched the successful assault on Wednesday 6 February 1550 from a vantage point across the Tay. Paul de Thermes led the French troops, 240 were injured and 50 killed. The garrison surrendered six days later at midnight. James Dog of Dunrobin claimed Luttrell as his prisoner and his papers were captured. His ransom of £1000 Scots was raised on 16 May 1550 as an exchange for the sons of George Douglas of Pittendreich and the Master of Semple who were prisoners in England. (George Douglas's son would later rule Scotland as Regent Morton.) Luttrell was promptly re-arrested for debts to a Dundee merchant, Robert Craig, but Regent Arran paid the merchant in September, and Luttrell was allowed home.
Another from my Waverley trip from last week. We had a lovely sunset with glowing skies. This shot was taken from Waverley's stern whilst the vessel was just off Yarmouth IOW.
The lighthouse was builtin 1812 and is still in use. It guides vessels through the western approaches to the Solent.
Hurst Castle is an artillery fort established by Henry VIII on the Hurst Spit in Hampshire. Charles I was imprisoned here in 1648 before being taken to London to his trial and execution. During World War II, the fort was manned with coastal gun batteries and searchlights. It is managed today by English Heritage and can be visited by ferry or on foot but there is no vehicular access due to its location at the end of a sand spit.
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 í kringum hann sett upp girðing með staurum og slár negldar á milli þeirra. Drumbur var lagður á pallinn, hulinn rauðu klæði, en í hann tálgað skarð fyrir hökuna þar sem þau dæmdu áttu að leggjast.
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?
8th February, 1587, Fotheringhay Castle, England, Mary, Queen of Scots was executed. It was the first "legal" execution of an anointed European monarch.
For the last 19 years she had been in England in what was effectively imprisonment. In October 1586 she had been found guilty of plotting the assassination of Elizabeth I of England, her cousin in what became known as the Babington Plot.
On the morning of her execution she entered the Great Hall, wearing black garments, and told her friends and servants to ‘rejoice rather than weep for that the end of Mary Stuart’s troubles is now come … tell my friends that I die a true woman to my religion, and like a true Scottish woman and a true French woman.’
Mary was disrobed of her black garments revealing an outfit of deep red – the Catholic colour of martyrdom. She then knelt down on a cushion, rested her head on the execution block, as she stretched out her arms she cried out in Latin “Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.”
Her executioner had to take three swings of the axe, the first landed on the back of her head rather than her neck. The second blow was semi-successful in its purpose cutting into her neck. The third completing the severing.
As the executioner lifted Mary’s head he was left holding her wig, whilst her head tumbled onto the stage. The remains revealed the effects of her years as a prisoner with her hair being short and completely grey. To cap off the surprises Mary’s little Skye terrier revealed itself after having his in Mary's skirts, it was now soaked in blood.
Mary, Queen of Scots was 44.
...and in her dream she dreamed of a stranger falling, being pulled into a chair of inevitable departure.

La comunicación a larga distancia a una relativa gran velocidad (comparada con el transporte convencional de los mensajes), surgió con la invención del telégrafo óptico en Francia, cincuenta años antes de la del telégrafo eléctrico.
La red de telégrafos ópticos consistía en una serie de líneas de torres, colocadas a una distancia de entre 5 y 20 kilómetros cada una de la siguiente. Cada torre estaba dotada de telescopios y un dispositivo de señales ópticas que se conocía con el nombre de “semáforo”.
La imagen muestra la torre de telégrafo óptico de Motilla del Palancar (Cuenca) situada en el paraje de la Cuesta de Juan Bueno, del que toma el nombre, conociéndosele como “Torre Juan Bueno”. Pertenecía a la línea Madrid-Valencia, en funcionamiento desde 1849 hasta 1856, en que fue sustituida por el telégrafo eléctrico.
Era la torre Nº 18 de la línea, encontrándose entre la de Olmedilla de Alarcón (17), conocida como “Torre Atajollano”, y la de Iniesta (19), denominada “Atalayón”, con las que se comunicaba mediante un dispositivo de señales ópticas codificadas, el "semáforo" más arriba ya referido.
Actualmente se encuentra en un estado ruinoso, con los muros este y oeste muy deteriorados, tal y como puede contemplarse en la fotografía. Como curiosidad, cabe mencionar que en el zócalo del muro oriental, hay restos de impactos de postas, lo que indica que, en el mejor de los casos, en él pudieron darse prácticas de tiro o, en el peor, ejecuciones por fusilamiento en los tiempos de la Guerra Civil.
-English:
Long-distance communication at a relatively high speed (compared to carrying messages) came about with the invention of the optical telegraph in France, fifty years before the electrical telegraph.
The optical telegraph network consisted of a chain of towers, each placed 5 to 20 kilometres apart from each other. On each of these towers a wooden semaphore and two telescopes were mounted
The picture shows the optical telegraph tower of Motilla del Palancar (Cuenca, Spain) located in a place named “Cuesta de Juan Bueno”, so this tower is also known as “Juan Bueno Tower”. This tower belonged to the Madrid-Valencia line, which operated from 1849 to 1856, when it was replaced by the electric telegraph.
This was the 18th tower in the Madrid-Valencia line, between Olmedilla de Alarcon Tower (17th) (also known as “Atajollano Tower”) and Iniesta Tower (19) (also known as “Atalayón”) with which it communicated with the semaphore when it was required.
It is currently in a dilapidated state, with east and west walls badly damaged, as can be seen in the picture. Curiously, it is noteworthy that in the eastern wall base, there are some bullet marks, indicating that, In the best possible scenario, it could be target practice or, at worst, executions by firing squad during the Civil War.

First a quick word about this composite photograph. Yes, every element in this collage is a single photograph taken by me of books by Jung or about him in my personal library. The idea is a simple one, even if the execution is a little complicated. This image took at least two days solid work from conceptualisation, photographing, processing and finally compiling the elements. It is my own participation in temporality - for some wasted time, for me a meditation.
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) came to believe that the image of a mandala was extremely important to the unconscious mind. This is why it is so common in religious symbolism from the earliest stages of evolution. Even early Christian ikons took on an almost mandalaic structure with Christ at the centre. The history of Alchemy (a subject for which Jung was truly a world expert) is also filled with similar symbolism. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala
To this day Tibetan Buddhist monks practice the art of sand painting mandalas. These geometric configurations of symbols centre on a still point of Compassion. After it is created, the sand is literally swept away, signifying the impermanence of mortal existence.
"Sand Mandala - A Time To Build, A Time To Destroy" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ov4-Fwhy5o
In this solar mandala I have a little friendly dig at the way Jungian psychology has assumed an almost religious importance for some practitioners. The great psychoanalyst is the sun around which various planets revolve. Each planet relates to a specific book in the Jungian canon. The moons around each of these planets relate to secondary books about Jung's specific texts. In this way a mandala is constructed. Thus a pseudo-religious system is born.
P.S. I should also add there is a deliberate mistake in here. Sometimes the makers of medieval manuscripts deliberately included an error to remind us that only God is perfect. Full marks if you spot it.
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.

This poor queen ant was killed before even being able to start a colony. Still pretty rewarding to photograph!
The execution is kinda poor....Don't like how the "white" doesn't wrap all the way up the marbles reflection.....Need to pay more attention next time. Do like the pattern though.

Why not take a walk, around Snowshill, if you have time, please click "here"!
Snowshill is a small rural settlement in the north of the borough of Gloucestershire which lies on a ridgeway, with the villages of Broadway, Buckland and Laverton nearby. The village offers panoramic views from certain vantage points within the conservation area boundary, while surrounding landscapes, including the Cotswold Ridge and Avon Valley, offer limited views into the village. Snowshill is a small, remote upland settlement situated in the Cotswold Hills in the Cotswold Area of Natural Beauty (AONB). It is one of the highest villages in Gloucestershire at 1,000 feet above sea level. The village of Snowshill is on a small unclassified road which runs from Broadway to Bourton on the Water. It is a nucleated village – one where the houses are located round a focal point such as a church or village green. Historically Snowshill developed as a farming village with the main industry being wool production. Local stone quarries provided the primary building materials for the village; stone slate roofs and stone walls The topography of Snowshill and the surrounding landscape means that the village remains sheltered from external views. However from the outskirts of Snowshill, from higher land and within Snowshill, there are glimpses of the village. Over time Snowshill has had many variations in name, including Snawesill in the 1087 Domesday Book, Snausilla in 1227, and Snoweshulle in 1360. The name Snowshill appears for the first time in the Valuation of Crown Lands of 1570. Derived from the old English, snaw for snow and hyll for hill, the name of the village refers to its topographical meaning i.e. “Hill of Snow”. It is often said that snow remains in the folds of the hill long after it has melted in the Vale. Despite being a relatively small village with a little over 200 inhabitants, Snowshill has a long history. The settlement sits near a large amount of spring water; it is also positioned close to the path taken by two prehistoric trackways. In the early ninth century King Kenulf gave the manor of Snowshill and the tithes and chaplaincy together with those for Stanton to St Mary’s Abbey, Winchcombe which had been founded in approximately 798 AD Following the Norman invasion of England, the whole land was claimed by William the Conqueror who granted lands to his followers, including the abbey at Winchcombe which still had control of Snowshill and Stanton. The Domesday entry for Snowshill states: “The church of St. Mary of Wincelcumbe holds Snawesill, in Holfordes hundred. There are seven hides taxed. In demean are three plowtillages, and twelve villeins, and two bordars, with fixed plow-tillages. There are six servi. It is worth and was worth 100 sol”. Carolyn Mason in her book Snowshill; A Gloucestershire Village says this equates to the manor having 840 acres and the population of the village being about 802 . Rudder, in his book A New History of Gloucestershire says that Winchcombe Abbey assigned the manor of Snowshill to the monastery of St Ebrulf in Normandy in the twelfth year of Edward II’s reign (1296) but that the manor returned to the abbey in 1415 when foreign onasteries were divested of their land in England. Snowshill remained in the ownership of the abbey until the Dissolution when it became the property of Henry VIII. Rudder says that Henry assigned the manor of Snowshill to Queen Catherine as part of her dower. This is confusing as three of his six wives were called Catherine. It seems likely that it was Catherine Parr as following the death of Catherine Edward VI granted it to John, Earl of Warwick. Catherine Parr was the only one alive in 1547 when Edward became king. Following the execution of the Earl of Warwick in the reign of Queen Mary the manor of Snowshill reverted to the possession of the Crown until it was given to Francis Bulstrode according to Carolyn Mason although Rudder makes no mention of this. At the time of Rudder’s history the population of Snowshill was 236 (more than today) and he states that at the beginning of the 18th century the population was about 190 and that there were 38 houses. The chapel is described as small with a tower at the west end ornamented with pinnacles and battlements. The chapel, together with the manor of Stanton was granted by the Crown to John Elliott. When the lands around Snowshill were enclosed in 1761 by Act of Parliament 202 acres were given to the rector to replace the tithes. The English Heritage register entry for the gardens of Snowshill Manor states that it was sold in 1572 to John and Thomas Warne (or Warren)
and that it remained in that family until around 1645 when it was sold to Will Wall. Between 1712 and 1743, the Manor was owned by the Sanbach family (Carolyn Mason and Rudder give the family name as Sambach) and, during that time, there were some additions to the house. William Sambach the younger died without issue in 1759 and Samuel Blackwell purchased the estate. He sold to John Small of Clapham in Surrey (d 1779). From 1759 to 1919 the Manor was owned by landlords who were largely absent. In the 17th century the manor and some of the cottages were built. The Rose cottage and The Old Shop, Manor Cottages and Green Close, all date to this time. The brewhouse and dovecote within the grounds of the manor are possible earlier from the 16th century. Part of Tower Close dates to the early 18th century and the two garden houses within the manor grounds are late 18th century. The chapel was rebuilt in 1864 but very little of it survives in the new church.
