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.
Registan (a sandy place): this public square was the centre of Samarkand and the site of a large market. It came to be used as the place where royal proclamations were made, public executions held, and trade & commerce conducted. In the 15th and 17th centuries, madrassas were built on three sides of the square. This design, madrasas facing each other across a square or street, is called a kosh, a "double, pair", as the building of madrasas are opposite each other on the sides of the street or square.

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.
Missouri State Penitentiary, Jefferson City Missouri. May 27th 2016.
There were 40 executions conducted in this chamber from 1938 until 1989. I believe there were four times when two convicts were executed on the same day here, but only twice were two executions done at the same time using both of the chairs. One of those times the convicts were Bonnie B. Heady (the only woman executed in the gas chamber) and Carl Austin Hall. Heady and Hall had kidnapped and murdered 6-year-old Bobby Greenlease. The 1953 Greenlease kidnapping was one of the most famous kidnappings in American history, second only to the 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping.
Part of the story involved the Coral Court Motel near St. Louis, so this has a Route 66 connection as well.

A Stay of execution for the Scania's?
Despite many NX Scania's being withdrawn, some it seems have been offered an unexpected life line.
One of these is the classic Walsall Corporation liveried Scania (1834, BV57 XHB) which has alluded me the past few weeks. It's last day with it's old MOT was Friday but it's currently being evaluated for renewal. Further evidence to this is Suitable kits are on order for NSA! Many of the Scania's have rotten chasis but the plan was none would see service past October. Hopefully 1834 passes all examination and maybe it and 1838 above will be cruising around the Black Country in 2027. Happy days
Shout out to the driver for being a good sport.
Also shout out to me for completly ruining the order of my photo's with this groundbreaking development.

Prisoners for execution would walk into the first room in the top left and be escorted to the third room to the right. A "doctor" would await the man and ask him to undress and remove any valuables for a physical. The doctor would then escort the man to the middle, rectangular room below the two small rooms above. The prisoner was told to stand against the wall for a height measurement. Behind the wall, another prisoner with a handgun waited for the small hole he was looking at to go from light to darkness. Once it did, he pulled the trigger. Soldiers would take his body to the large, square room to the right and remove any valuables from his body not previously removed (gold teeth, watches). Once complete, the soldiers would take the body to the crematorium in the room below.
"Mr. Tom T. Gobble, it is my pleasure to inform you that a last minute phone call from the Governor of the State of Alabama has granted you a permanent stay of execution..."

The dam in the distance, next to the small brick powerhouse, was being removed later that morning, while the even older dam in the foreground was to remain. The huge backhoe used to remove the dam is poised next to the powerhouse, waiting at the ready to carry out the execution.
