Carrick Coast from Maidens Harbour.
Not exactly the weather one would expect in August...Even in Scotland! Cold and blustery, torrential rain and gale force winds. Here, in between showers, looking up the coast towards Piper’s Brae, Dunure, Culzean just around the headland.
If you look closely, you can see the remains of the WWll lookout tower, possibly built by Italian PoWs who were incarcerated at the nearby Doonfoot Camp. (Little known fact - biggest breakout from a WWll prison camp in Britain - 97 Italian soldiers tunnelled under the razor wire and escaped. The Great Escape Of Doonfoot.)

Painting inspired by bravery demonstrated of those who faced their deaths in recent protests in the south of Iran. The province of Khuzestan, once prosperous and progressive, suffers chronic neglect and mismanagement of resources, in particular water resources. The helpless unemployed, frustrated youth, angry and unarmed people have been on the streets for days facing bloody crackdown with many shot dead, wounded and incarcerated.
Okay, the signs of spring are undeniable now. My first Swallowtail of the season, wild Iris dotting the hills, the yellowing grass, and my allergies. Mostly my allergies. Am I the only one that regrets the passing of winter and it's humane temperatures?
This was taken on the hill behind me, which marks my entire outside universe right now, while incarceration continues. Expect lots of pics from "The hill behind". Ha, ha! I've got to get back to taking pictures, even if the options are limited. I know I'm blessed to have this quiet space to escape to.
The butterfly is, to my knowledge, a Western Tiger Swallowtail. Hence the picture title.
Stay safe!
Ps - And thank you, my dear friends, for helping make this image EXPLORED. This almost never happens to me, what a pleasant surprise.
The town house was commissioned to replace an earlier tolbooth on the same site. It was designed in the Scottish medieval style, built in sandstone and was completed in 1626. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing Back Causeway; there was an external double forestair containing a blind oculus leading up to a central doorway with a rectangular fanlight on the first floor. The staircase was flanked, on the ground floor, by two small windows and, beyond that, by two small doorways. The first floor was fenestrated with four square-headed sash windows. A three-stage clock tower was installed in 1783: the first stage involved a round headed window, the second stage featured a clock designed and manufactured by Laurence Dalgleish and the third stage featured a louvered opening. The whole structure was surmounted by a cornice, an ogee-shaped dome and a weather vane. Internally, the principal rooms on the first floor were a council chamber (on the west side) and a reception room (on the east side) and a debtors' prison; the ground floor was occupied by cells for the incarceration of criminals It is likely that Lilias Adie of nearby Torryburn was among the many women accused of witchcraft who were held in the cells in the garret. The only source of light were the small windows below the roofline and whatever sunlight shone through the slate roof.
The Old Gaol was built in 1748 for Richard Grenville Temple, Lord Viscount of Cobham. (Sir ) George Gilbert Scott, born in Gawcott, added Cells and a Gaoler’s house in 1839.
Prisoners were incarcerated in damp cells with no heating, lights or toilets and fed with bread, water, soup, and gruel, with meat on high days, only. They exercised in the roofless yard and spent hard times in the punishment cell for misdemeanours.
People died in the gaol, others prisoner escaped over the wall and another walked out when the gaoler went home and forgot to lock the door. It is said to be haunted and paranormal investigators are regular visitors.
The building has been a police station, a fire station, an air-raid shelter and an ammunition store. In 1984, after several threats of demolition, the building was bought for a song by a charitable trust and saved for the town.
Pendleton is a city in Umatilla County, Oregon, United States. Developed along the Umatilla River, Pendleton was named in 1868 by the county commissioners for George H.

History:
There are many legends surrounding the Ekenäs Castle and every castle worth its salt has obviously Ekenäs several resident ghosts.
One of those eerie legends relating Earl Mauritz Vellingk (1651-1727) who was a general, diplomat, adviser to the Swedish King and Governor General of Bremen-Verden. When Frederick I, King of Sweden ended Vellink in conflict with him as the Earl urged the Holstein throne while the king took a stand for the hannoverska.
King Frederick I chose to show the privy Parliamentary committee documents relating to secret loans Vellink taken in Prussia for the Swedish state's behalf. Vellink arrested and sentenced to lose lives, honor and property. The punishment was changed, however, before it could be implemented and mitigated to imprisonment of Linköping Castle, loss of Vellinks councilor position and his shield of Nobility.
Vellink were never to sit in prison in Linköping, on his way to, he died in Mjölby inn.
It is not, however, Earl himself haunting in Ekenäs, but a boy as he let incarcerate in a vaulted cellar. It is said that when problems began to pile up for the count, he was looking up a bunch of important documents, placed them in the heaviest coffin he could find and took the help of a poor shepherd boy to dump the casket in the lake Teden just outside the castle.
In order not to let the shepherd boy, whose name was Nils, reveal what happened sounded Vellink turn him into a cellar. From this point on the various stories a bit apart. Some argue that Vellink from the start sounded mura the door to the vault for the boy would die there. Others say instead that the door was not walled up, but the idea was that the boy would eventually be released, but that he had forgotten where (or Vellink arrested and therefore could not return for placing Nils). Eventually Nils died of hunger and cold, and when the corpse eventually found bricked it up to hide what happened. Regardless, Nils became a ghost who still said to haunt Ekenäs.
According to legend, one should certainly not try to enter "Nisse's den" because then something bad happen with both Ekenäs Castle and its owner. There are also stories of people who tried not gone far before they hit by acute illness or horrific accidents.
View of the jetty on Sarah Island in Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania. This island was a penal colony in the early 19th century. A beautiful location to be incarcerated but the island was incredibly remote, overcrowded with prisoners and conditions were appalling.
Allow me to begin by adamantly stating that I am against animal incarceration of any sort. Whether it be in sanctuaries or zoos. I understand the reasoning behind bringing wildlife to be accessible to be viewed, but the entire premise still disregards the rights of the animal involved. Yes, temporary sheltering of injured animals is fair and noble, but otherwise I can not see the point of this type of display. You want to see an elk? Go to Colorado and see herds of hundreds of elk. Go to Montana and see herds of a thousand.
I was going to take a picture of a large tree out on the prairie when I turned the corner of this fenced off field to see this sad elk basking in the morning light.
Sure he and his harem are well fed, watered, protected from coyotes and wolves, even receive top veterinary care, but freedom, which we all cherish so much is denied. Just so some people can pull over on their way to little league and see an elk.
“Winogrand's zoo book The Animals is a grotesquery. It is surreal where unlikely human beings and jaded careerist animals stare at each other through bars, exhibiting bad manners and a mutual failure to recognize their own ludicrous predicaments.”

Over 10,000 people of Japanese descent were incarcerated in the Manzanar Relocation Camp during World War 2. Over 150 died during detention. After the war ended and the Japanese people were released, most moved their loved one's remains to their home area. Only six graves remain in the cemetery along with the 15 feet tall monument erected by camp residents. The characters read: Soul Consoling Tower. The obelisk remains a focal point for visitors to reflect upon the meaning of this place.

After her husband was incarcerated, she had the help of her brother-in-law Kaimen with the raising of the twins Giovanni and Aurora. Now that James is released, we will see what influence he had on the children.
One of the entrances to the casemates of Spilberk Castle in Brno. Long used to incarcerate criminals, political prisoners & prisoners of war, the casements are a grim reminder of times when inmates were treated rather more harshly than now.

Family Name: Rosie Paynesworth
SL Name: Lena Kiopak
The tragic and mysterious saga of Rosie Paynesworth begins with her birth at Rosewood Asylum, the offspring of a demented saleswoman and her lustful orderly. By chance, the orderly was one of the lesser Paynesworths, a family member by blood, but poorly socially-ranked in comparison to his more well-to-do relatives. Upon Rosie's appearance in this world, Grandmére Paynesworth, the family matriarch, reluctantly took in the squealing babe, determined to raise the child in culture and to increase her social status from her estranged father.
Rosie's childhood was luxurious; she wanted for nothing, yet each birthday, she only asked for 1 thing and 1 thing only - to meet her incarcerated mother, who she had never met. Naturally, Grandmére refused, not allowing the child to become corrupt by her parents' mental inferiority. Such was life, until one day on her sixth birthday, she was nowhere to be found. The local police force and concerned townsfolk searched everywhere for Rosie; finally encountering her in a derelict and decrepit department store - the very same one her mother worked in so many years ago, drenched in drying blood, clutching her favorite doll, Sparky.
The policeman on-scene who approached Rosie noticed that she was intently staring at a broken television, speaking to it as if her doll was miraculously within the TV, replying back. There was no evidence of foul-play anywhere, other than Rosie being covered in blood, which was clearly not hers. When questioned, Rosie would just stare with blank eyes, and a mysterious smile on her childish lips.
Grandmére Paynesworth, horrified by the incident, and worried about her sullied reputation, agreed to commit Rosie to Rosewood Asylum, fully knowing that her granddaughter will reunite with her parents, those lesser Paynesworths!
As for Rosie, each night, the poor souls inside Rosewood can distinctly hear Rosie and her mother singing....
"Ring around the Rosie
a pocketful of posies,
Axes, axes.....
We all fall ....down....!"
followed by deranged giggling.....over, and over again.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Manzanar is the site of one of ten American concentration camps, where more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II from March 1942 to November 1945. It is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California's Owens Valley, between the towns of Lone Pine to the south and Independence to the north, approximately 230 miles (370 km) north of Los Angeles. Manzanar means "apple orchard" in Spanish. The Manzanar National Historic Site, which preserves and interprets the legacy of Japanese American incarceration in the United States, was identified by the United States National Park Service as the best-preserved of the ten former camp sites.
Since the last of those incarcerated left in 1945, former detainees and others have worked to protect Manzanar and to establish it as a National Historic Site to ensure that the history of the site, along with the stories of those who were incarcerated there, is recorded for current and future generations. The primary focus is the Japanese American incarceration era, as specified in the legislation that created the Manzanar National Historic Site. The site also interprets the former town of Manzanar, the ranch days, the settlement by the Owens Valley Paiute, and the role that water played in shaping the history of the Owens Valley.
Portal to incarceration. The Kingston Penitentiary, built in the 1830s, finally closed in 2013 as a maximum security prison and now offers tours for those who want to explore life on the inside.
The Bazaar Dungeon (Loki Eliot)
An ancient Elven prison, once filled with shifting walls to trap the incarcerated, now breached, opened and repurposed for trade. A subterranean world, where the glowing path assures safety and passages remain as yet unexplored – perhaps trapped, perhaps filled with undiscovered treasures worthy of the risk. And at the centre of it all, the ever-watching eye, ancient guardian of this place, waiting to rest its gaze upon those who tread too carelessly.

Freedom
Surrounded by armed men and barbed wire fences
Swallowed by thick solid gray concrete
Left with nothing but my own mind
That I use day and night
To dream about a light that
Upon sight slowly cures every ache.

Alcatraz reveals stories of American incarceration, justice, and our common humanity. This small island was once a fort, a military prison, and a maximum security federal penitentiary. In 1969, the Indians of All Tribes occupied Alcatraz for 19 months in the name of freedom and Native American civil rights.
