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.
Tens of thousands died at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Some died from disease, starvation, and exposure, but many were slaughtered by the Nazis between the late 1930s and 1945.
The execution trench seen here was where prisoners were led to then be shot or exterminated in the "ovens" en masse.
Oddly enough, the Musee Mechanique had several machines that showed a small figurine getting executed. Bizarre, but I guess it makes sense...

The Warsaw Citadel is a fortress that was built in the 19th century when most of Poland was under Russian occupation. It was commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I after the suppression of the 1830 November Uprising, in order to bolster Russian control of Warsaw. As well as housing a Russian garrison it also served as a prison and place of execution.
In 1897, an original photograph of Rizal’s execution, very sharp and in fairly good condition, was found in a flea market in Pennsylvania, USA. Its discovery was an important find for Philippine historical photography, even though similar photographic illustrations have appeared in out-of-print books and several other photographs of the execution are reported to exist.
This particular photograph was taken only seconds before Rizal was shot and the crowd shouted “Viva España” and lingered a while to make sure the subversive was truly dead. For the viewer a hundred years, even a thousand years hence, the photograph suspends the impending death. Rizal is a diminutive figure accentuated by his black suit and bowler hat. He is facing the bay, his arms bound to his back. A row of light posts traces an imaginary line separating him from rows of soldiers; those on the first row have their rifles raised and aimed at him. There are two robed priests and a dog near the executioners. In the foreground, at the very center of the photograph, stands a tall, thin tree with no leaves or branches, apparently dead.

When I saw Toby's shot yesterday, titled Invasion, my mind immediately thought of the word "Execution" for some reason.
I decided to put Bender behind the blindfold since he was a good model last time.
I planned on using Buzz Lightyear as the executioner but it didn't quite work out how I imagined it.
