Visiting the Majdanek Extermination Camp on the outskirts of Lublin on a beautiful sunny day maybe took away some of the 'power' of this terrible place, having said that it was still an incredibly moving experience.
For this shot of the massive Communist era monument designed by Polish sculptor and architect Wiktor Tołkin I've opted for a monochrome treatment to try and add some additional visual gravitas to my image of this place.
The relief, completed in 1969, resembles an abstracted Yiddish sign similar to Lublin (לובלין) is supposed to represent mangled bodies.

From Wikipedia, 'Majdanek or KL Lublin was a Nazi German Extermination camp established on the outskirts of the city of Lublin during the German occupation of Poland in World War II. Although initially purposed for forced labor rather than extermination, the camp was used to kill people on an industrial scale during Operation Reinhard, the German plan to murder all Jews within their own General Government territory of Poland.
The camp, which operated from October 1, 1941 until July 22, 1944, was captured nearly intact, because the rapid advance of the Soviet Red Army during Operation Bagration prevented the SS from destroying most of its infrastructure, but also due to ineptitude of commandant Anton Thernes who failed in his task of removing incriminating evidence of war crimes. Therefore, Majdanek became the first concentration camp discovered by Allied forces.
Also known to the SS as Konzentrationslager Lublin, Majdanek remains the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust.'

HMM! from the Dalek Empire.
For those that don't watch Dr. Who, a little background on the creation of the Daleks.
Exterminate !
Not all monsters look like this. The most frightening are the monsters that are in human form. Daleks are without mercy and will exterminate everything and everyone to win their goal. Watching the news I can see such merciless killing and destruction in an insatiable appetite and desire for possession and power.

Ruins of barracks at Birkenau. Stoves and chimneys are all that remains of most of them.
The brick barracks stood in the oldest part of the camp, known as sector BI, where builtn in the fall of 1941. Inside each of them were 60 brick partitions with three tiers, making a total of 180 sleeping places each holding 4 prisoners. The SS envisioned a capacity of over 700 prisoners per block. The barracks were unheated in the winter. Two iron stoves were installed, but these were insufficient to heat the entire space. There were not any sanitary facilities in the barracks. Only in 1944 were sinks and toilets installed in a small area inside each block.
The living conditions here were much worse than those at Auschwitz I. The average life expectancy at Auschwitz I was 6 months; at Auschwitz-Birkenau, it was 3 months. In summer 1944 the capacity of the crematoria and outdoor incineration pits was 20,000 bodies per day.
Unlike Auschwitz I, Birkenau is not a museum, it is preserved more or less in the state it was found at liberation in January 1945. However, only a few of the wooden barracks remain and are now being restored. All four of the crematorium at Birkenau were dynamited by the retreating SS and only the ruins can be seen.

Watchtower at the entrance, beside the main gate.
Entrance to Auschwitz I, the original camp, was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. Extermination of prisoners started in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site of Nazi extermination of the Jews. From 1942 - 1944, trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe.FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

Blacky & Champaz have been pushing their luck all day! I have had enough of them and released the Cat Exterminator.....Prepare to be annihilated cats! Ha ha
My favourite shot from my first collaborative roll with the remarkable Jana Obscura. First shots were exposed in Seattle, the roll was then mailed to me in the UK. I shot Stonehenge with an 8Banners Graphite Dragon 6x18 pinhole camera (curved film plane).
My effort for Macro Mondays on theme of glass - this dalek was shot through a crystal ball - I turned the photo upside down and sort of has the effect of appearing through a CCTV camera.
Have to say this reminds me of a dalek with that walkway sticking out...... Wish this building was closer to home so I could revisit in brighter weather.
They were making an application on the Duplex across the street.. They need to do that more than once, tho.. I have mine done 4 times a year because there are carpenter ants in the area and they love your house to call home... Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!
Great Crested Grebe:-
Taken at Shakerley Mere, Northwich, Cheshire
The great crested grebe is a delightfully elegant waterbird with ornate head plumes which led to it being hunted for its feathers, almost leading to its extermination from the UK. They dive to feed and also to escape, preferring this to flying. On land they are clumsy because their feet are placed so far back on their bodies. They have an elaborate courtship display in which they rise out of the water and shake their heads. Very young grebes often ride on their parents' backs.

Hairy Woodpecker (female)
La Pine, OR
A Hairy Woodpecker pair kept coming to a stump in my backyard to extract some juicy beetle larvae for their nestlings. The male and female would take turns coming to the stump and drilling into it, stopping occasionally to listen for the larvae, before drilling some more. After a few minutes they would pull out a huge larva, then fly back to the nest site with the morsel to feed hungry nestlings. They visited the stump several times a day over the course of a week at least. One morning I watched them pull out 4 larvae within an hour! The activity has since stopped so either all the larvae are gone or the nestlings have fledged. With all those larvae being fed to them, I wondered if the fledglings would be able to exit through the cavity hole!

Hunters on silent paws
A very shy, wonderful wildcat that you rarely see in the wild. The Lynx has been around in Switzerland for a few decades now, this rare animal that has so many fascinating abilities. The beautiful wild cat's fur is perfectly adapted to its surroundings and you can hardly see the lynx in the forests where it usually stays. It makes me very sad that the lynx's natural habitat is becoming smaller and smaller and it is struggling to survive because people are encroaching ever deeper into its territory or it is still being hunted because of individual attacks on farm animals. I simply cannot understand that humans have still not learned to live in harmony with wild animals. The lynx is a very shy and sensitive wildcat that deserves to live in peace and security.
Lynx - Loner with fantastic hearing
The lynx is the largest wild cat species in Europe. The loner inhabits large forest areas. It was widespread more than 200 years ago, but today there are large deposits only in Northern and Eastern Europe. As a hunting competitor and predator of farm animals, the lynx was targeted in Central Europe. The loss of hidden habitats has also contributed to its disappearance from our forests. Today, thanks to reintroduction projects, lynx live in a few forested mountain regions.
The predominantly nocturnal and quiet hunter can see very well in the dark. Its large eyes capture a lot of remaining light so that it can observe its prey at night.
In past centuries, the eurasian Lynx was heavily persecuted and even exterminated in many places. In Europe it has survived only in small numbers in remote regions such as Scandinavia, the Carpathians and the Balkans. Several lynxes were reintroduced to Switzerland after 1971. There are now two populations in Switzerland again.
Killed illegally
The lynx is protected by law in Switzerland. Nevertheless, he continues to be killed illegally. The disappearance of animals in an unexplained manner, orphaned young lynxes, but also dead lynxes indicate poaching. The perpetrators have little to fear as these crimes are rarely prosecuted and taken seriously. This needs to change so that poaching is not just viewed as a trivial offense.
This Royal Mail postage stamp is embeded in a glass paperweight, the shape of which is like an ice-hockey puck.
The picture on the stamp is of a Dalek, a fictional extraterrestrial race of extremely xenophobic mutants principally portrayed in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who.
