The Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib is historic gurdwara near Parliament House in New Delhi. It was built in 1783, after Sikh military leader Baghel Singh (1730-1802) captured Delhi, on 11 March 1783, and his brief stay in Delhi, lead to the construction of several Sikh religious shrines within the city. This one marks the site of cremation of ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, after his execution in November, 1675, under orders of Aurangzeb.

Judging by its depth below the high-tide mark, I would guess that this rarely-exposed jetty at Wapping Old Stairs is quite old. And Wapping Old Stairs is the historic site of Execution Dock, where pirates were taken to be chained until three tides had washed over them. Draw your own conclusions.

One of my favorite secret spots in Orange County. This abandoned Arizona Iced Tea factory is an amazing sight... it's massive and the whole place looks like a movie set... perfectly demolished. We found record books on the floor that date to the 1980's... there are some rooms in this place that are terrifying. Kind of a city-blair-witch feel. My buddy and I just filmed a scene for our new short film in this place... the film is called FOLLOWING WINTER..... more on that soon.
Alwaar de Koning van Swasiland (nu nog een van de drie overgebleven Koninkrijken in Afrika en straatarm) tot ergens vorige eeuw de stouterikken van de rotsten gooide om te besparen op gevangeniskosten.
Oddly enough, the Musee Mechanique had several machines that showed a small figurine getting executed. Bizarre, but I guess it makes sense...
The Rieme-Oostakker Place of Execution is the place in the Ghent district of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the Naxi occupation force between February 8, 1943 and August 24, 1944.
This memory is also kept alive the 20 resistance fighters who were killed on the execution site at Rieme . That site was destroyed in 1998 during the construction of the Kluizendok of Ghent Port.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. Some of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme was found in a mass grave in Hechtel.
Moreover, there were German soldiers and Belgian criminals also shot. Because of these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people were killed. After the Liberation the mass grave was uncovered in Oostakker. The victims were identified and buried in their hometowns.
The crosses on the ground thus have a symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, the execution place is a cemetery since in 1952 the remains of 15 decapitated West Flemish political prisoners were moved here from their graves in Munich.
On the grounds is a railway carriage which carried hundreds of Belgians to concentration camps in Germany and Poland. In 1966 the execution place gained the status of a protected landscape.
