Munkholmen (the munk's islet) in the Trondheim fjord. It has been an execution site, monastery, fort, prison and was fitted with anti-aircraft weapons by the Germans during WWII to protect the submarine base they established in Trondheim.
Today it is a tourist attraction and often used as a hangout on nice summer days for people living in Trondheim.

(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!)
It marks the place of execution of a Covenanter who was charged with having been engaged in the battle of Bothwell Bridge.

'Nature morte' refers to the execution of the Rosenbergs in 1953. 'La Gégène' refers to the torture by electricity, practiced by the French on its prisoners in Indochine
Executions also took place in the roll-call square, where the gallows was located. Public executions of would-be refugees or prisoners who violated the camp regulations were held. In addition to the convicted person, two other prisoners who were executioners, who came from the same city or region, participated in the execution. There are a number of plaques and memorials here for those murdered souls.
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."
This bell was rung outside the condemned cell at Newgate by the Bellman of St Sepulchre at midnight on the eve of an execution.
They had to make their own entertainment in them days!

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.
David McLane (ca. 1767 – July 21, 1797) was a merchant from Providence, Rhode Island. He was hanged at Quebec City as a French spy by the British authorities.
He may have been born in Ayrshire, Scotland. McLane was accused of attempting to organize a surprise attack on the garrison at Quebec City based on testimony of a number of witnesses, including William Barnard and John Black. At the time, Great Britain was expecting trouble in its colonies because many colonists were expressing support for the ideals of the French Revolution. McLane was arrested at Black's home in Quebec City. Despite the fact that McLane was not a resident of Canada and that some of the testimony given against him may not have been credible, in July 1797 he was found guilty of high treason by a jury and sentenced to suffer a traitors death of being hanged, drawn and quartered. He was hanged outside the walls of the town, then decapitated and disembowelled. McLane was about thirty years old at the time of his death. The American government chose to ignore the affair in order to maintain relations with Great Britain.
