Photo taken on the Execution site Ghent-Oostakker.

This is the location where 66 members of the Resistance were executed during WWII

The statue was made by the Ghent sculptor Geo Vindevogel.

 

Located in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, the scale of the buildings and the detail in the tile work is amazing and overwhelming. These monumental buildings are completely covered in brightly colored, glazed tiles arranged in an endless variety of geometric patterns. At night they have a sound, light and laser show that is astounding.

 

—from Wikipedia

The Registan (from Classical Persian: ریگستان, romanized: Rēgistān, lit. 'place of sand'; Uzbek: Registon) is a historic public square in the city of Samarkand, now in Uzbekistan, famed for its ensemble of three madrasas (Islamic schools): the Ulugh Beg Madrasa of the Timurid period, and the Sherdar Madrasa and Tilakari Madrasa, built later under the Janid dynasty.

 

People gathered on the Registan to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis — and for public executions. The three madrasas feature distinctive Islamic style with muqarnas. The square was regarded as the hub of the Timurid Renaissance.

For my dear, Monsieur Pistolet : 0)

 

“Everything in art depends on execution: the story of a louse can be as beautiful as the story of Alexander. You must write according to your feelings, be sure those feelings are true, and let everything else go hang. When a line is good it ceases to belong to any school. A line of prose must be as immutable as a line of poetry.”

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW – AMY WINEHOUSE

 

Parrots are very social creatures

full-on colours and pretty features

loving and giving and bringing delight

perched on a branch or in full flight

 

I study them and think anew

of what we can learn and what we can do

smile at a stranger; give the gift of love

offer a helping hand like an angel above

 

They make me smile with their funny ways

these Rainbow Lorikeets prefer sunnier days

but they seem happy despite the rain; carefree

they love each other that is plain to see

 

Male and female are hard to tell apart

both are beautiful and warm my heart

she is on the left and he is on the right

it's easier to tell when they're sitting tight

 

The female has some yellow that mingles with the red

and the male one has the reddest breast and a squarer head

just then they turned towards me and them I am unsure

but does it really matter as long as they adore

 

They like to eat pollen and nectar and fruit

the male puffs up his rainbow suit

protecting his mate from the other parrots

so she can digest her food but she does not like carrots

 

They like apples and pears and grapes and sunflower seeds

some figs and nectar to fulfil their needs

papayas and mangoes opened by a fruit bat

make them smile inside like the Cheshire cat

 

I stayed with them for quite a long while

getting drenched but with a constant smile

and then sadly it was time to go

what a lovely experience; my dreams overflow.

As they say...winter is coming. Execution by Christmas Lights; Solveig. slurl - maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Solveig/109/163/21

The remains of an old farm weather on as the gleam of a new windfarm shines all around it.The Ohio,IL. was one of the first in our area,the problems encountered with it have slowed construction on new windfarms in the area.The idea is good,the execution not so much...

 

Have a great windmill(and wind turbine) Wednesday all!

Taken at Execution by Christmas Lights.

 

Some ideas are better in my head than in the actual execution. I guess that is why I keep working at it every day. How is it that some days I feel like I've never picked up a camera before or edited an image? Hoping your rainbows are easing to conquer than mine were today.

The former seat of the medieval tsars, it hosts the remains of more than 400 houses, 18 churches, the royal palace, an execution rock and more.

The Flevo building is located on the Achtergracht in Zwolle and is a municipal monument from 1898.

 

For a long time the craft school was located here, later the IJsselmeer Polders Service was housed and hence plans for the Flevopolder were put into execution. Then the building was called 'Flevogebouw'.

As I mentioned previously while commenting on some of my photos, my artistic approach is a dynamic process and it will likely last forever. I keep redefining my landscape photography vision simply because I constantly develop in the field and switch sources of inspiration. The same compositions, identical photographic styles, non-changing photographic gurus, screaming colours or static photo locations don’t satisfy my artistic desire. So I am in a constant photographic search. My way of landscape photography execution doesn’t involve going to places and shooting the first appealing composition. Instead I like to take risks and come up with new approaches. Before I start shooting, firstly I need to feel the place. And I mean in it in a holistic approach. Each of my photos is a combination of composition, technical skills and deeper connection with the photographed location. One doesn’t exist with the other. I would never go to the place just to take couple photos, but I frequently go to places and explore them even if I don’t shoot. This photo features Brandywine Falls in BC, near Whistler. Every time when I look at this waterfall I reassure myself that it looks more interesting from its very edge than from the bottom. It was a thrilling and adrenaline boosting experience to shoot there again. By the way, it is 70 metres of that plunge.

An dieser Stelle wurde am 29.April 1848 das Todesurteil des Pflegschaftsrichters vom Schloss Marsbach an Frau Katharina Mühleder durch Erhängen vollzogen. Sie hatte ihren Ehegatten ermordet.

It was here, on April 29, 1848, that the death sentence handed down by the judge of the Marsbach Castle court against Katharina Mühleder was carried out by hanging. She had murdered her husband.

We do know there was once a great Pictish fort at Burghead, built between 2,000 and 1,500 years ago, though little of it remains today. Tradition held that the hollow visible in the corner of the ancient fort held a well.

 

When the planned town of Burghead was built in 1808, the well was selected as its water source. Excavations the following year revealed a solid rock chamber, with a flight of stone steps leading down.

 

Theories about the function of the ‘well’ include:

 

a shrine to Celtic water deities

a place of ritual execution

an early Christian baptristy

a Pictish cult centre, later converted to Christian use

Audacia is Allseas’ versatile pipelay vessel, optimised for the execution of small- to large-diameter pipeline projects of any length in all water depths, and for associated work such as the installation of risers and subsea protection frames. The concept for Audacia was developed entirely in-house and she has been operational since 2007.

 

A length of 225 m places her between Allseas’ dynamically positioned pipelay vessels Solitaire and Lorelay. Precise manoeuvring on full dynamic positioning with a stinger positioned on the bow allow Audacia to work safely in congested areas and lay pipes in very deep water. Pipeline start-ups and lay-downs are executed in very quick time ensuring any disruption to other activities near platforms is minimised. Due to her long length and ship-shape Audacia can accommodate multiple work stations and has a greater pipe hold capacity. Her independence from anchor handlers and large buffer capacity also ensure she is less dependent on pipe off-loading from supply vessels. A high transit speed, high lay speed and large carrying capacity ensure Audacia is highly competitive for pipelay projects anywhere in the world.

Capturing a Sunrise Photo of the Esztergom Basilica

 

As a photographer, one of the most exciting challenges is successfully executing a pre-planned shot. My sunrise photo of the Esztergom Basilica is the result of such a project, where the rising sun is visible through the arch spanning the Basilica’s large and small towers, with the silky Danube River in the foreground and the Maria Valeria Bridge in focus.

 

Below, I will walk you through the preparation and execution steps so that other photographers can draw inspiration from it.

1. Preliminary Planning and Location Scouting

Visualizing the Shot:** The first step was to mentally plan the desired photo. I aimed to capture a shot where the sunrise light shines through the arch of the Basilica, with the silky Danube River reflecting in the foreground and the Maria Valeria Bridge in focus. I knew using a tripod would be necessary for the long exposure.

On-site Visit: Four days before the planned shoot, I visited the location to thoroughly scout the area. Using an app, I checked when the sun would rise precisely through the arch. The app indicated this would happen four days later, so I chose this time.

2. Technical Preparations

Setting Up the Equipment: During the on-site visit, I determined the most stable spot for the tripod. This was on larger stones, requiring one of the tripod's legs to be shorter. I had to be very cautious to ensure my safety when approaching this spot. This mindset is recommended for all photographers! After securing the camera to the tripod, I planned the angle and lens choice to position the sunrise optimally for the composition. I took some test shots and noted the settings to only need fine adjustments on the day of the shoot.

 

3. The Day of the Shoot

Timing and Weather:I hoped the weather would be favorable for the sunrise four days later, and fortunately, it was. I arrived about 20 minutes early to prepare and make any last-minute adjustments.

Fine-Tuning the Settings: Thanks to the pre-planned settings, I didn’t need much time to set up the technical details on-site. I quickly secured the tripod and camera, set the camera to auto mode focusing on the bridge, then switched to manual mode, turned off the stabilizer, and fine-tuned the focus using focus magnification.

 

4. Capturing the Photo

Exposure and Composition:** At the moment of sunrise, I took the shot, ensuring the exposure time was enough to achieve the silky effect of the Danube while the sunlight perfectly arched through. The result was a well-composed and spectacular photo that captured the envisioned scene.

 

5. Post-Processing

Editing: After taking the photo, I performed some basic post-processing to enhance the colors and contrasts, further highlighting the magic of the sunrise and the beauty of the Basilica.

 

This process required detailed planning and precise execution, but the result was worth all the effort. I hope this summary helps other photographers in creating similar photos.

Naqsh-e Rajab III, is the secund of the 3 investiture relief attributed to the sasanian king Ardashir Ist. Its execution is less plane than the previous pedestrian investiture at Firuzabad II (on Bijan's stream) , but the volume is less marked than on later reliefs such as Naqsh-e Rostam I. The image is still very static, sign that at the begining of the sasanian dynasty, the carving style is still very influenced by the parthian, as also testify the type of baggy trousers looking exactly like the parthian ones (see this parthian relief at behistun on Bijan's stream ). The scene shows 8 characters with a nearly symmetric and isocephalic disposition (heads on the same level, as opposed to the usual upper disposition of the king’s head on Sasanian reliefs). At the center of the scene, the king gets the power ring (the farshiang) from the hand of god Ahuramazda, king and divinity facing each other. The god has his typical creneled crown and hold into his left hand his barsom (stick , symbol of divine power) the king puts his hand in front of his mouth, as a sign of respect to the god, 2nd finger curved forward. The farshiang is ornamented with 2 ribbons, drawing Ardashir’s symbol (a 2 ribboned circle) that can be also seen on his horse on the relief of his equestrian victory over Artabanus at Firuzabad I. 2 little characters can be seen down the feets of either the king and the god: A child being probably Bahram Ist, son of Shapur and grandson of Ardashir, and a bearded naked figure armed with a bludgeon being probably Herakles (religious syncretism occurred in iran between greek god Herakles and Iranian god Verethragna). Other signs of Greek influence can be seen on many sasanian reliefs through by example the representatuions of Niké, winged victories (see Taq-e bostan on Bijan's stream, or Bishapur III on Rob's stream). Behind the king, a servant and the prince Shapur, future king can be seen. prince Shapur pays respect to his father with his curved finger in front of the mouth, the servant holds an object that can be either an umbrella, a flag, or a stick to protect the king from the flies. Both of them hyde their left hand into their shirt's sleeve as it was already a custom during the achaemenian era when meeting the king. Behind the god, 2 womens are shown separated from the scene by a column, not paying attention to the investiture as they look in the opposed direction. These characters are probably the queen and a servant, first representation of women on the Iranian reliefs since the elamite time (see Eshkaft-e salman’s reliefs at Izeh).

Thx to my dear friends Bijan1351 and YoungRobV for posting their very precious pictures.

Ginza (銀座) es un distrito de abolengo del barrio de Chūō (中央区), en Tokio, Japón. Está localizado al sur de los distritos de Yaesu y Kyobashi; al oeste del distrito de Tsukiji, al este de Yurakucho y Uchisaiwaicho; y al norte de Shinbashi. Es famoso por la concentración de grandes almacenes, boutiques y restaurantes.

Ginza era un territorio pantanoso en la época en que Tokugawa Ieyasu se mudó a Edo. Los comerciantes comenzaron a poblar el área, hasta que en 1612 se construyó una casa de moneda en la zona, la cual le dio su nombre, pues Ginza significa "lugar de la plata".

La urbanización fue destruida por el fuego en 1872, y el arquitecto inglés Thomas Waters fue el encargado de la reconstrucción. La zona se vio entonces poblada con edificios de dos y tres pisos, junto con un paseo comercial en la calle que unía al puente Shinbashi con el puente Kyōbashi. La mayoría de estos edificios ya fueron demolidos para dar paso a construcciones mayores. Sobrevive la tienda departamental Wako, en Chuo-Dori.

A lo largo del siglo XX, Ginza concentró las influencias occidentales más notorias en el país, lo cual se ha visto reforzado por la localización de los centros corporativos de varias compañías transnacionales, como Sony Corporation.

Ginza / Portal Oficial de Turismo de Tokyo GO TOKYO

 

Ginza ( 銀座 [ɡindza]) is a district of Chūō, Tokyo, located south of Yaesu and Kyōbashi, west of Tsukiji, east of Yūrakuchō and Uchisaiwaichō, and north of Shinbashi. It is a popular upscale shopping area of Tokyo, with numerous internationally renowned department stores, boutiques, restaurants and coffeehouses located in its vicinity. It is considered to be one of the most expensive, elegant, and luxurious streets in the world.

Ginza was a part of the old Kyobashi ward of Tokyo City, which, together with Nihonbashi and Kanda, formed the core of Shitamachi, the original downtown center of Edo (Tokyo).

Ginza was built upon a former swamp that was filled in during the 16th century. The name Ginza comes after the establishment of a silver-coin mint established there in 1612, during the Edo period.

After a devastating fire in 1872 burned down most of the area, the Meiji government designated the Ginza area as a "model of modernization." The government planned the construction of fireproof brick buildings and larger, better streets connecting Shimbashi Station all the way to the foreign concession in Tsukiji.

Soon after the fire, redevelopment schemes were prepared by Colin Alexander McVean a chief surveyor of the Public Works under direction of Yamao Yozo, but execution designs were provided by the Irish-born engineer Thomas Waters; the Bureau of Construction of the Ministry of Finance was in charge of construction. In the following year, a Western-style shopping promenade on the street from the Shinbashi bridge to the Kyōbashi bridge in the southwestern part of Chūō with two- and three-story Georgian brick buildings was completed.

These "bricktown" buildings were initially offered for sale and later were leased, but the high rent prevented many of them from being permanently occupied. Moreover, the construction was not adapted to the climate, and the bold design contrasted the traditional Japanese notion of home construction. The new Ginza was not popular with visiting foreigners, who were looking for a more Edo-styled city. Isabella Bird visited in 1878 and in 1880 implied that Ginza was less like an Oriental city than like the outskirts of Chicago or Melbourne. Philip Terry, the English writer of tour guides, likened it to Broadway, not in a positive sense.

Nevertheless, the area flourished as a symbol of "civilization and enlightenment" thanks to the presence of newspapers and magazine companies, which helped spread the latest trends of the day. The area was also known for its window displays, an example of modern marketing techniques. Everyone visited so the custom of "killing time in Ginza" developed strongly between the two world wars.

Most of these European-style buildings disappeared, but some older buildings still remain, most famously the Wakō building with the now-iconic Hattori Clock Tower. The building and the clock tower were originally built by Kintarō Hattori, the founder of Seiko.

Its recent history has seen it as a prominent outpost of Western luxury shops. Ginza is a popular destination on weekends, when the main north-south artery is closed to traffic since the 1960s, under governor Ryokichi Minobe.

Many leading fashion houses' flagship stores are located here, in the area with the highest concentration of Western shops in Tokyo. It is one of two locations in Tokyo considered by Chevalier and Mazzalovo to be the best locations for a luxury goods store. Prominent high-end retailers include the American company Carolina Herrera New York, French companies Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, Italian company Gucci and Austrian brands Swarovski and Riedel.

Flagship electronic retail stores like the Sony showroom (which closed in 2017 and new building would open in 2022) and the Apple Store are also here (Ginza 2 chome). The electronics company, Ricoh is headquartered in the Ricoh Building in Ginza. The neighborhood is a major shopping district. It is home to Wako department store, which is located in a building dating from 1894. The building has a clock tower. There are many department stores in the area, including Hankyu, Seibu, and Matsuya, in which there are many shops: grocery stores, restaurants, women and men clothes, sportswear, and jewellers etc. There are also art galleries. Kabuki-za is the theater for kabuki, one of Japanese traditional playing, and locates on between Ginza and Tsukiji. The building was opened in 1889 and has been reconstructed several times because of war and fire. The present building was built in 2013.

Each Saturday and Sunday, from 12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., the main street through Ginza is closed off to road traffic, allowing people to walk freely. This is called Hokōsha Tengoku (歩行者天国) or Hokoten for short, literally meaning "pedestrian heaven". There are some people who do street performance such as magic and playing instruments. As a famous photo spot, some cats sleep on signs, where people can put their own cats onto these signs. The location where cats are is different depending on the date.

Even petty criminals got severely punished in the past

The army military prison at Trimulgherry in ,Secunderbad in India .

( An improved image of the institution with a modified text.)

The above partially hand-tinted original picture was taken by a British Army Officer

during his service in India in circa 1928 .

 

It is suggested in a Flickr user's comment text added to the original upload of the above picture that the Military Reformatory in Trimulgherry India has similarity to Windsor Castle , London because of its construction from a white stone ! Well, any white stone apart - I am very much bewildered by that proposition as any reasonable similarities with the famous London castle , be they cosmetic or concerning structural purpose are not credible .

 

In Flickr user's comment [ further below ] , the Indian prison is identified as a grim purpose built institution of punishment - a place with seventyfive bare, whitewashed cells and small windows wordlessly implying a regime of harsh confinements .

  

khandelwal99 has written : "It's near Mhow - Military Headquarters of War. Mhow is located 23 KM from Indore city."

  

______________________________________________________________

 

In 2007 khandelwal999 commented :

 

Military Reformatory, Trimulgherry.

 

Trimulgherry is a suburb of Secunderabad in Andhrapradesh, India.

 

"The reformatory was constructed in the 1870s as a jail for the British Indian Army. Its cellular form recalls the famous Andaman Jail also built during the British period of Indian History. Its long corridors and verandahs, its austere cells and its execution chamber communicate a sense of awe mingled with respect. The building has both historic and architectural significance. It is maintained in excellent condition by the Indian Army.

Source: intach.ap.nic.in/awards1.htm

 

"There is another place that has many whispered stories to tell: the Military Reformatory in Trimulgherry. Built on the lines of Windsor Castle in white stone, this heritage building that sends shivers down the spines of the more sensitive. Seventy-five bare, whitewashed cells with small windows tell you wordlessly what confinement can mean. Broad stairs become narrow and steeper as you climb the next level. A central room with spikes on the floor must give you some inkling of what’s to come. The steps leading upstairs are narrower still, more treacherous… designed in fact to be inconsiderate. You know then that you are retracing the steps of the 500 men who met their death from the gallows here. The pulleys hang high and the ropes lie limp but they’re ominous. A narrow rectangle aperture reveals the spikes below. Even further up is the roof, which tells you why this building is called ‘the Ironic Crown of Secunderabad’ – a round tower with crenellations rises tall out of the rocky ground, imperious and crown-like, promising sure punishment for treachery and insubordination.

When I first put the picture of the army military prison at Teimulghary on-line last year I did not realise the prison's grim history. When comment text from a Flickr user was added my reaction was to remove the image . After reflection I have reinstated it , since it is obviously a significant historical photograph . [L.S.

I think, the spelling of the name is not correct, its something like Trimulgiry

or Trimulghury. "

You may have seen me do this one before, but my sister-in-law and her fiancé were looking through the 365 for some funny ideas and really wanted to do this one. Who am I to say no to somebody who wants to shoot something fun???

 

Anyhow, we got a few of these and this one is probably my favorite. I'm kinda proud because I think I'm getting better at this whole photography thing. Now, how do I get someone to pay me for it???

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...
