In early 1900s Britain it was customary to allow the criminal to have one more smoke while they were blindfolded and executed.
Agra Fort (sometimes called the Red Fort), was commissioned by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1565, and is another of Agra's World Heritage Sites. A stone tablet at the gate of the Fort states that it had been built before 1000 but was later renovated by Akbar. The red sandstone fort was converted into a palace during Shāh Jahān's time, and reworked extensively with marble and pietra dura inlay. Notable buildings in the fort include the Pearl Mosque, the Dīwān-e-'Ām and Dīwān-e-Khās (halls of public and private audience), Jahāngīr's Palace, Khās Mahal, Shīsh Mahal (mirrored palace), and the Musamman Burj.
The great Mughal Emperor Akbar commissioned the construction of the Agra Fort in 1565 CE., although it was converted into a place by his grandson Shāh Jahān, being reworked extensively with marble and pietra dura inlay. Notable buildings in the fort include the Pearl Mosque or Motī Masjid, the Dīwān-e-'Ām and Dīwān-e-Khās (halls of public and private audience), Jahāngīr's Palace, Khās Mahal, Shīsh Mahal (mirrored palace), and the Musamman Burj. The forbidding exteriors of this fort conceal an inner paradise. The fort is crescent shaped, flattened on the east with a long, nearly straight wall facing the river. It has a total perimeter of 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi), and is ringed by double castellated ramparts of red sandstone punctuated at regular intervals by bastions. A 9 metres (30 ft) wide and 10 metres (33 ft) deep moat surrounds the outer wall.
Chhatrapati Shīvajī visited the Agra Fort, as a result of the conditions of the Treaty of Purandar entered into with Mirzā Rājā Jaisingh to meet Aurangzeb in the Dīwān-i-Khās (Special Audience Chamber). In the audience he was deliberately placed behind men of lower rank. An insulted Shīvajī stormed out of the imperial audience and was confined to Jai Sing's quarters on 12 May 1666. Fearing the dungeons and execution he escaped on 17 August 1666. A heroic equestrian statue of Shīvajī has been erected outside the fort.
The fort is a typical example of Mughal architecture, effectively showing how the North Indian style of fort construction differentiated from that of the South. In the South, the majority forts were built on the seabed like the one at Bekal in Kerala.
In Denali, the bears are referred to as grizzly bears, as opposed to Katmai NP and other coastal areas. The difference is primarily in what the bears eat. In Denali, there are no salmon streams or fish of any kind, so the bears will feed on the grasses, shrubs, berries, and the occasional animal or carcass. In the fall, the berries, which grow wildly, are abundant and the bears feast fairly much non-stop on them. Can you imagine how many berries it takes to satisfy a grizzly bear?!
The grizzly bears are quite skillful at stripping the berries off of the stems that they grow on. Grabbing the branch with its large claws, it then bites onto the branch, then pulls its head away in a manner such that it strips the berries right off - so clean and efficient. So fascinating to observe. They are so focused on this behavior that it's difficult to catch them with their heads up. This year, they said that the berries were not as plentiful. I know that we were very aware of it, so did not feast on berries ourselves (didn't want to take from the bears).
Denali is a very rugged landscape, with severe and harsh winters - the wildlife fight for survival. Here's hoping that this bear got its fill of food before the winter takes over and he dens down for a bit.
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and for your comments. A bit swamped for time tonight, so I'll try to catch up with everyone's streams tomorrow :-).

Built of concrete and stone, it was the largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. It is the largest amphitheatre in the world.Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 70 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators,and was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, 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.
Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.
My good friend’s best friend,Tiesha Sargeant was killed last week. shot in the head execution style at the apartment she shared with her boyfriend. The press coverage of her death has been appalling. The NY Post, Diaro and Daily News are the only who have mentioned it so far. However, their coverage does not do her story justice.
Tiesha unfortunately died on the wrong island of NYC and was born black.
For one moment, just imagine if Tiesha was a white skinned woman, killed in the Upper East Side on Manhattan. Just imagine that the killing didn’t take place in Brooklyn’s Flatbush on Bedford Ave. Just imagine what kind of coverage this would have received? It would’ve been in NY Times, CNN and more. There would be immense pressure on the police to have an accountable investigation. If a young, prep school educated, light-skinned woman with a college degree, was killed execution style with a sheet thrown on her head on Park Ave, the coverage would certainly be more thorough, and writers certainly would’ve have attempted to investigate the complete life of the woman. Teisha was prep school educated, Wesleyan graduate, upper management at Conde Nast, and sooooo much more. ..at least her friend and family know.

The Church Of Sant Felip Neri was used as an execution wall during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Today we can still see the gunshots on the wall.
The square and the church were both constructed over a Medieval Cemetery.

This room contains 131 nooses hanging from the ceiling, representing the 131 government opponents who were executed under apartheid South Africa's antiterrorism laws.
The government claimed that many other political prisoners had committed suicide. It is well known and accepted now that many were tortured to death.
Executions through shots in the back of the neck were carried out at an earthen wall or in a ditch. In the fall of 1944 the SS shot 92 Soviet officers, members of a resistance organization.
This photograph shows the execution of the Namoa pirates outside the Kowloon Walled City on 17 April 1891 = 這幀照片正是在一八九一年四月十七日「南澳號」海盜在九龍城寨外的海灘上被滿清政府處決後攝得
Police Report of 1890 made by W.M. Deane, Captain Superintendent of Police, to the Governor, which recorded the Namoa Piracy in details. According to the Report, among the suspects arrested, five were Hakkas who lived in Shaukeiwan, Hong Kong.
警察司田尼向港督報一八九零年的香港治安報告詳細記錄了海盜劫掠「南澳號」客輪案件的始末。根據記載，被逮捕的多名疑犯中有五人為居住在筲箕灣的香港居民；然而，由於案中證人未能辨認出疑犯的面貌，在證據不足的情況下，涉案疑犯全被釋放。可是，他們隨即被駐守九龍城寨的滿清官兵拘捕，其後更被判斬首。行刑當日，有些香港居民特地渡海前往九龍寨城外海灘上的刑場，觀看專程從福建前來的劊子手負責斬首的場面。這幀照片正是在一八九一年四月十七日該等海盜在九龍城寨外的海灘上被滿清政府處決後攝得。相中歐籍人士就是刑場上的圍觀
My life continues to twist and turn down paths I have never walked before, the unknown lies around every corner. My emotions and mind are working against me, I feel like I am being internally executed by myself...
I think that people were executed or something here. I don't know what it was, but it looked like a pretty brutal place.
In the face of inevitable death, the prisoners behaved with calm dignity. They were shot singly or in pairs in the back of the head. The place of execution was the yard between Blocks 10 and 11, which was sealed off by two walls.
Here there was a wall, specially painted black, built of wood, sand and insulating board. At the foot of the wall, sand was sprinkled to soak up the blood of the victims. This wall was known as the “Wall of Death” or “Black Wall”.
