This prison was built in the end of the 19th century and used to house approx. 600 prisoners. It was built in the outskirts of the city, but due to the growth of this big city, the prison is now situated more or less in the city centre, Most of the inhabitants were men, but there were also cellblocks in seperate buildings for women and juveniles.
Data shows that 8 prisoners have been executed here who were being charged for murder. Most prisoners stayed here for only a short period being several months.
At one point the prison needed to be renewed, and the city chose to build a prison elsewhere in the city. Prisoners were transferred and the constant noise within these walls changed into silence...

The baptistry basin of the Basilica of St Vitalis. Its shape is quite beautiful, so are also the details.
Byzantine church of Saint Vitalis, built in the 5th or early 6th C (Jensen). The baptistery is in a space next to the church, behind the apse. It is an unusual labial shape with two sets of four steps at either end. Four circular stone bases at the corner points on the wide rim suggest that a canopy or ciborium once covered the basin. The rich mosaic decoration includes a geometric pattern, a flower and vine design, crosses and, on the floor of the font basin, a Latin cross whose top arm curls into the Greek letter rho with alpha and omega inscribed under the horizontal arms of the cross. An inscription, written large, underlined letters on the ledge of the font, is a reference to the votive offering of the one(s) who probably donated money for the baptistery.

De Gannes Property - Michel de Gannes de Falaise (1702-1752) held a commission in the colonial troops. Born to a military family at Port Royal in Acadia, he trained in Quebec but saw much of his service here alongside military in-laws and cousins. Twice during 1744, de Gannes was off making war in British-held Acadia, leaving this house to his wife Elisabeth de Catalogne and six children. They had a seventh child later, 5 daughters and 2 sons in total.
He also had a daughter with Marie-Anne Carrerot, his mistress before he got married.
A insulating layer of Boston boards conceals the simple log walls of Michel de Gannes’ house as well as other homes of people with noble names. Rich and poor people lived close together in the eighteenth century, the elite never doubted their superiority and felt no need to be isolated from lesser folk. Workmen and clerks laboured and sometimes lived in the nearby storehouses. Tailors and wig makers made their rounds to the houses and nearly every household included at least one servant.
The lives of servants hide from scrutiny. One slave won freedom, married and acquired land; labourer's and fishermen's daughters might serve until they saved a dowry and could marry and raise a family, but many servants lived plain and silent lives, dependent on the families they served. In a little house like this one, a domestic would have been lucky to get a bed in the attic — some servants simply curled up in a corner of the kitchen. Despite their obscurity the presence of servants and working people throughout the community was important in that time.

Latin name: Branta sandivensis - Hawaiian Geese or Ne-ne
Taken on our trip to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve in Norfolk.
This is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The official bird of the state of Hawaiʻi, the nene is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, Molokai, and Hawaiʻi.
The Hawaiian name nēnē comes from its soft call. The specific name sandvicensis refers to the Sandwich Islands, an old name for the Hawaiian Islands.
It is thought that the nene evolved from the Canada goose (Branta canadensis), which most likely arrived on the Hawaiian islands about 500,000 years ago, shortly after the island of Hawaiʻi was formed. This ancestor is the progenitor of the nene as well as the prehistoric Giant Hawaiʻi goose and nēnē-nui (Branta hylobadistes). The nēnē-nui was larger than the nene, varied from flightless to flighted depending on the individual, and inhabited the island of Maui. Similar fossil geese found on Oʻahu and Kauaʻi may be of the same species. The Giant Hawaiʻi goose was restricted to the island of Hawaiʻi and measured 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length with a mass of 8.6 kg (19 lb), making it more than four times larger than the nene. It is believed that the herbivorous Giant Hawaiʻi goose occupied the same ecological niche as the goose-like ducks known as moa-nalo, which were not present on the Big Island. Based on mitochondrial DNA found in fossils, all Hawaiian geese, living and dead, are closely related to the giant Canada goose (B. c. maxima) and dusky Canada goose (B. c. occidentalis).
Did you know: Its strong toes have much reduced webbing, an adaptation to the lava flows on which it breeds.

I took this shot at Watergrove near Rochdale, England. Info Thanks to Alan Thornhill, Sawfly is the common name for insects belonging to suborder Symphyta of the order Hymenoptera. Sawflies are distinguishable from most other hymenopterans by the broad connection between the abdomen and the thorax, and by their caterpillar-like larvae. The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs. Large populations of certain sawfly species can cause substantial economic damage to forests and cultivated plants.
