Between 1905 and 1909 my grandfather Gabriel Clark worked in Henan Province of China. During his stay he took several hundred photographs that captured life in China from 1905 to 1909. These photographs were taken in villages and towns near Tao Kou where he worked. They show adults, children, a fort, ceremonies, houses and even criminals awaiting punishment (possibly execution). The photos capture the look and feel of Chinese towns in the very early 20th Century.
The execution draws back the sword to lop off the head of the convict (seated).
The gibbet ordinarily used for hangings can be seen up on the hill where it greets visitors coming up the road from Burgundy.

The execution yard of Auschwitz. Chris, a member of our group left his roses here. Almost all of his Father's side of the family perished here. People were herded here, naked and gunned down. Children were shot first, then the mothers and then the men. People in the cells inside the building could hear the cries of their loved ones through the walls.
The Colosseum or Coliseum (/ˌkɒləˈsiːəm/ KOL-ə-SEE-əm), also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [aɱfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo] or Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff (volcanic rock) , and brick-faced concrete, it was the largest amphitheatre ever built at the time and held 50,000 spectators. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators during phases of its various renovations over the centuries, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined because of earthquakes, thieves, and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and also has links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.
Each year, on the last Sunday of January the Kings Army hold a parade to commemorate the execution of Charles I. The march is along the Mall in London and the parade is on Horseguards Parade. These photos show the participants in 2012.

This photo provided by the U.S. Department of Justice shows a vial of pentobarbital used in the executions of two inmates in July 2020, according to court filings. The photo was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington on Aug. 13, 2020, as part of litigation over the use of pentobarbital in executions. The government redacted part of the information on the vial, after arguing it didn't want to disclose the supplier of the drug. Executioners who put 13 inmates to death in the last months of the Trump administration likened the process of dying by lethal injection to falling asleep, called gurneys “beds” and final breaths “snores.” But those tranquil accounts are at odds with AP and other media-witness reports of how prisoners’ stomachs rolled, shook and shuddered as the pentobarbital took effect inside the U.S. penitentiary death chamber in Terre Haute, Indiana.
