(outlaw torn is adjacent to No Salvation and if my draw distance had been set to further out, you'd see the Cathedral in the background. I couldn't do that though, because then you'd see the huge platforms in the sky, where the ballroom is located. I wish those platforms would be set above the maximum draw distance, so photographers aren't bothered by the sight of the sky platforms!)

General Abdul Khader Sidiq (L), known as the 'Tiger of Tagail' is present at the scene. He was later arrested by Indian soldiers. (Photo by Christian SIMONPIETRI/Sygma via Getty Images).
After living out their days in Rondout on the CP, the Highliners have finally been moved to Burr Oak Yard, just before they will be scrapped for good.
Inmates breaking the rules were hanged here. Their hand were tied together at their back, and they were hanged with the back at the pole.
The Execution Trench (indicated by the red arrow) is in a part of the Sachsenhausen camp supposedly nick-named "Station Z" by the SS, as it was the "final stop." More on Station Z, along with a comparison of how this part of the memorial has changed since 1999 can be seen on the highly authoritative scrapbookpages.
The pamphlet/map I brought in the visitor centre says: "In this trench, resistance fighters, conscientious objectors and people sentenced by the Nazis were executed."
Fragments of an Equestrian statue of Nero
These fragments of an equestrian statue probably represent Nero. The execution tinged with a certain pathos reflects a sensibility that was different to that of the classical-style portraits of the Julio-Claudian family. It also reveals the origins of the work, which was found in Asia Minor, as well as the absolutist tendencies of the reign of Nero, who craved an imperial role like that of the Hellenistic monarchs.
Description
Fragments of an equestrian statue
The equestrian group was a mode of representation created in Greece and adopted in Rome. Equestrian statues of the emperor emphasized his role as commander-in-chief of the armies. The Louvre holds fragments of a large statue of this type.
The left arm, lost below the biceps, was cast separately and was probably fitted into some sculpted drapery. The left hand held the reins. The work is executed in a naturalistic manner; the artist paid special attention to the rendering of the muscles and veins. The head with its fleshy proportions is turned to the left. Thick hair with full, wavy locks tops a face whose eyes and parted lips impart a highly expressive appearance and a rather brutal sensuality.
A vestige of the damnatio memoriae
The identity of the figure represented in this work has been disputed. The particular arrangement of the slighly parted bangs favors the hypothesis that it is a prince of the Julio-Claudian family. There is general agreement on the name of Nero, by comparison with coin portraits, though on the coins he does not wear this hair style. Further comparison with other portraits of the sovereign would enable this probable identity to be confirmed; but Nero's excesses led the Senate, after his suicide in AD 68, to condemn his portraits to "damnatio memoriae," that is, to destruction and oblivion. Therefore, only a few remnants remain of the images of this emperor - some portraits of him as a child, and statues saved from destruction by their geographical distance (perhaps the case of these fragments found in Turkey).
Memory of the Hellenistic kings
This portrait marks a break with the classical-style treatment of Julio-Claudian works. The face remains idealized, but with a note of pathos foreign to Augustian moderation: on the contrary, the sharp movement of the head, the movement in the hair and the facial expressiveness hark back to the traditional Hellenistic royal portrait.
These stylistic elements, which reflect an enduring baroque sensibility in Asia Minor, are well suited to a representation of Nero, whose political ideology they highlight. Fascinated by Greek civilization, the prince sought to infuse the role of emperor with the absolutism of the Hellenistic monarchies.

Van Nelle Factory, Rotterdam The Netherlands – Architects: Brinkman and Van der Vlugt – masterplan 1914 – 1923; design 1923 – 1925; execution 1925 - 1931
The Van Nelle Factory is one of the highlights of the Modern Movement in the Netherlands. The impressive glass building is not only an example of functionalism and rational production, but also improved working conditions for workers in the twentieth century. The restored building is now one of the most important monuments of Rotterdam
The Firm Van Nelle was selling coffee, tea, tobacco and snuff in Rotterdam since 1782. The entirely new complex consists of the actual factory building, an office building, a warehouse, expedition and storage depots along the canal, a boiler house and several workshops. A cafeteria and sports fields were also to be found in the area. The factory building consists of three elongated in height sloping parts separated by stairwells. Tobacco has eight, coffee five and tea factory three floors. The staircases house the washing and changing facilities, toilets and lifts, separated for men and women. This allowed for continues factory floors and easily adjustable layouts. By using a concrete frame the non-load bearing facades could be made almost entirely of glass with only thin steel frames. Light and air could penetrate deep into the building. The expedition and storage strip along the water is connected to the main building by overhead conveyor bridges. Another sky bridge connects the plant to the office at the entrance of the complex. The office consists of a strip with two layers of offices and a large open space with glass walls and glass meeting rooms. The office follows the curve in the road. During construction, a tea room on the roof of the tobacco factory was added.
In 1942, low-rise warehouses designed by Brinkman and Van den Broek were realized. In 1974 at the back of the building, a new distribution centre was built. In 1951 other products such as pudding and chewing gum made their entrance. After a takeover by the American Standard Brands in 1989, Van Nelle competitor Sara Lee / Douwe Egberts, sold the complex in 1995, so it could finally get the status of national monument. Using the name Van Nelle Design Factory, the complex started a new life. The factory complex was restored by Wessel de Jonge and Claessens Erdmann. The transparency of the factory floor was maintained as much as possible by the new climate walls on the inside. The new inner facades are made of aluminium and therefore clearly identifiable as new elements. On the floors office spaces of various sizes have been realized for the creative sector. The ground floor is used for exhibitions and conferences. The adjacent buildings have been restored and are used by a number of architectural firms.
Many of those incarcerated within the Tower of London over the centuries would be executed, the majority in public spectacles held outside the Tower’s walls, on nearby Tower Hill.
However, as a privilege of rank, two Queens consort and five other nobles were executed in private within the Tower itself: William, Lord Hastings in 1483; Anne Boleyn in 1536; Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury in 1541; Catherine Howard and her lady-in-waiting Jane, Viscountess Rochford, in 1542; Lady Jane Grey in 1554; and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex in 1601.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, some of the many ghosts reputed to haunt the Tower of London are of individuals who were “untopped” here, on Tower Green.
In 2006 the sculpture of a glass pillow, indented as if an invisible head rests upon it, was placed on the site in commemoration.

An exotic invasive from Europe called a balsam woolly adelgid has destroyed 95% of the Fraser firs in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The sadness in the sight of this ghost forest brought these lyrics to mind....
"Oh god come quickly, the execution of all things.
Let's start with the bears and the air and mountains, rivers, and streams.
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids.
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease cause of what you did.
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep.
But sleep never comes to you, it's just the guilt and forever wakefulness of
the weak.
It's just you and me.
The execution of all things."- Rilo Kiley
