A rare medieval survivor in London, The Jewel Tower dates to 1365 and hides in plain sight between The Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey which somewhat overshadow it.
It is one of few surviving remnants of the original Palace of Westminster, where it served as a defensive tower.
It survived several fires, which led it to be used as a place for storing the monarch's treasured items, and later important documents including the Execution Order for King Charles I, The Act of Union between England and Scotland, and the Abolition of Slavery Act. It is open to the public and managed by English Heritage and forms part of UNESCO's Westminster World Heritage Site.

Italia - Roma - Coliseo

ENGLISH:
The Colosseum or Coliseum also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre or Colosseo, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff (volcanic rock), and brick-faced concrete, it was the largest amphitheatre ever built at the time and held 50,000 spectators. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).[4] These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators during phases of its various renovations over the centuries, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined because of earthquakes, thieves, and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and also has links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum. In 2018, it was the most popular tourist attraction in the world, with 7.4 million visitors.

ESPAÑOL:
El Coliseo o Anfiteatro Flavio es un anfiteatro de la época del Imperio romano, construido en el siglo I y ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Roma. Su denominación original, Anfiteatro Flavio, hace referencia a la dinastía Flavia de emperadores que lo construyó; su nombre posterior, Coliseo, y por el que es más conocido en la actualidad, se debe a una gran estatua que había cerca, el Coloso de Nerón, que no ha llegado hasta nosotros. Por su conservación e historia, el Coliseo es uno de los monumentos más famosos de la Antigüedad clásica. Fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1980 por la Unesco y una de Las Nuevas Siete Maravillas del Mundo Moderno el 7 de julio de 2007
Los materiales utilizados en la construcción de este son bloques de travertino, hormigón, madera, ladrillo, piedra (toba), mármol y estuco. En la antigüedad poseía un aforo para unos 65 000 espectadores, con ochenta filas de gradas. Los que estaban cerca de la arena eran el Emperador y los senadores, y a medida que se ascendía se situaban los estratos inferiores de la sociedad. En el Coliseo tenían lugar luchas de gladiadores y espectáculos públicos. Se construyó justo al este del Foro Romano, y las obras empezaron entre 70 d. C. y 72 d. C., bajo el mandato del emperador Vespasiano. El anfiteatro, que era el más grande jamás construido en el Imperio romano, se completó en 80 d. C. por el emperador Tito, y fue modificado durante el reinado de Domiciano. Su inauguración duró 100 días, participando en ella todo el pueblo romano y muriendo en su celebración decenas de gladiadores y fieras que dieron su vida por el placer y el espectáculo del pueblo.
El Coliseo se usó durante casi 500 años, celebrándose en él los últimos juegos de la historia en el siglo VI, bastante más tarde de la tradicional fecha de la caída del Imperio romano de Occidente en 476 d. C. Los bizantinos también lo utilizaron durante el siglo VI. Además de las peleas de gladiadores, muchos otros espectáculos públicos tenían lugar aquí, como naumaquias, caza de animales, ejecuciones, recreaciones de famosas batallas y obras de teatro basadas en la mitología clásica. El edificio dejó de emplearse para estos propósitos en la Alta Edad Media. Más tarde, sirvió como refugio, fábrica, sede de una orden religiosa, fortaleza y cantera. De sus ruinas se extrajo abundante material para la construcción de otros edificios, hasta que fue convertido en santuario cristiano, en honor a los cautivos martirizados durante los primeros años del cristianismo. Esta medida contribuyó a detener su expolio y a que se conservara.
Aunque la estructura está seriamente dañada debido a los terremotos y los picapedreros, el Coliseo siempre ha sido visto como un icono de la Roma Imperial y es uno de los ejemplos mejor conservados de la arquitectura romana. Es una de las atracciones turísticas más populares del mundo.
The château was built between 1658 to 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV. Fouquet wanted nothing more than to impress his king. But this was before Versailles and instead of being impressed, Louis was jealous of the grandeur of Vaux le Vicomte.
Fouquet had recently been spared execution and, instead, exiled from France for what may have been trumped up charges brought by his political enemies. After viewing Fouquet's opulent château, Louis used his powers to commute a sentence to do the opposite and put Fouquet in prison for life!

Situated on the Knavesmire adjacent to Tadcaster Road,the main entrance to the city, the site of public executions in York from 1379 until 1801 known as the Tyburn.
Until 1745 bodies were quartered after hanging.
Perhaps the most famous hanging was that of the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin,in 1739 for horse theft.
The gallows consisted of a wooden triangle standing on three wooden pillars - it was known as the 'Three-Legged Mare'.

This was about my fourth idea for my photo today. I abandoned some of the other ideas because the execution was just too complicated (for now). I settled on this one which I ended up liking once I muted down the background eyes a bit. I also was really pleased with the match of shirt to eye color. Makes the shot for me.

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 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?
It is said that here people were hanged who stole wood or poached...not sure if that is true.

I wanted to share it tomorrow, but I couldn't wait.
I had the idea for months, but for some reason I never took the photo until now. This was taken at 6AM and I was actually dying from sleep. Usually I don't mind getting up early (it's more, I always get up early, even on weekends, which can be quiet annoying) but precisely that day I stayed until 2AM reading.
This is my street. Cunit doeesn't have a lot of inhabitants, but it's pretty big because they are almost all houses and not blocks of flats. So it has lots of streets too. But this is the most beautiful I've seen so far. You can't see it in the photo, but at the end there are three or four very tall pines that creates a natural arch. It's like passing through some kind of gate.
I don't know if some of neighbours saw me, but I prefer not to know. It would have been funny to see me in pyjamas, barefoot, holding a pillow and standing in the middle of the street.
I hope they won't start treating me like a mentally ill person....
The idea is far from original, but I wanted to contribute with mine too. Sopranosflight recent blue hour photos probably pushed me to finally take the picture.
Mann Island, Liverpool
We (fellow Flickrite Eddie Coulson and myself) had no clear plans of what to shoot or where to go (I think the term is "winging it") so I decided to pack the kitchen sink for all eventualities. Mrs R had declined to come on this Flickr inspired road-trip even thou we went on the train! This meant I was forced to carry my own tripod (note to self: must check out our vows... I'm sure I included it in there somewhere - love, honour, obey and carry tripod when asked!)
The weather and clouds in particularly looked promising and I thought of trying a few long exposures in the reflection of the glass walled Mann Island building, after all I'd carted the damn tripod all over Liverpool and I sure as hell was going to use it at some point. Eddie was busy snapping jumping tourists taking selfies of themselves so this was my opportunity.
While setting up, the cloud movement looked good in the reflection, but the execution hasn't delivered in the same way as my mind's eye saw it. But you've got to try new things!
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.

Russian Politruks were military commisars and sort of the Russian equivalent of a chaplain in the anti-religious Soviet government. These political officers ensured party loyalty by any means necessary... including the execution of traitors.

Trying to hide that the German Luffwaffe once called this their own? Maybe a less amateurish execution of the paintjob would have helped.

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.
