Joliet Prison
William W. Boyington, 1858
Built of Joliet limestone quarried on-site, with the labor done by convicts, for a total cost of $75,000. The prison was a model for others around the country, but by the time it closed in 2002, it was horribly outdated. It was the first and most frequent site of electrocution executions in Illinois.

The lure of the Smart Grid appears irresistible. If Smart Grids can realize their full potential then consumers, utilities, nations, and even the earth itself will benefit. Unfortunately, as with nearly any new technology, the focus has been on getting Smart Grids up and running, often with little consideration for Cyber Security.

Thorpe Marsh Power Station was a 1 Gigawatt (GW) (1000 MW) coal-fired power station near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England.
The station was commissioned in 1959 and was built as a prototype for all the large modern power stations in the UK. It opened in 1963. It contained 2 generating sets powered by coal, and had a gas turbine set using an industrial static version of a Rolls-Royce Avon aero engine with a capacity of 14.9 MW. On 7 January 1973 four workmen died. The CEGB was put under investigation for breaches in safety provisions but they were found to have all died accidental deaths.
The station has been closed since 1994 and the 45 acres (18 ha) site was acquired by Able UK in 1995. Much of the station has been demolished and now only its six cooling towers (each 340 ft (100 m) high and 260 ft (79 m) in diameter at the base), two ash slurry hoppers, railway sidings and the station's large adjacent electricity switching station still remain. The switching station was nearly flooded during the 2007 Yorkshire flood, which would have knocked the grid out according to news reports. The structures still stand now because it is feared that any explosion would cause the banks of the nearby canal to rupture. They also contain asbestos, which would contaminate land for miles around the site. There have been several controversial proposals for the site, including a car distribution depot and more recently a huge landfill site, neither of which have proven popular with the local residents.
This is part of the entrance to the power station,or the security office.
One of only a few buildings left on this site!
Night full moon, red gelled flash and sodium light, 3 min exposure :)
This museum security guy decided it was best to stand right next to the installation and adjust his trousers.
This beautiful manor house, built in 1896 is in a very perilous state today. Used as a residential school for pupils to escape the heavy industry of nearby towns and cities, Pirniehall was used as a residential education facility up until 1993 until it closed.
Apparently someone who owned it paid for kids from Dumbarton to come and break every window to allow the building to be open to the elements. Today it has been wrecked, metal stolen, and the middle of the house has collapsed.
Apparently there are 11 cats that live here, and some bats. I didn't see any cats, but did see a bat.
Another winter and I think more of this beautiful house will collapse, which will be ever so sad.:(

Wespenspinne am Gartentor von Nacharn und guten Freunden in Ungarn _ a wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) at the gate of good friends and neighbours in Hungary _ _ TimeOut in Hungary - Foto #533 of1043(H1309)
wikipedia:
_ Die Wespenspinne (Argiope bruennichi) (auch Zebraspinne, Tigerspinne oder Seidenbandspinne) ist eine Spinne aus der Familie der Echten Radnetzspinnen. Die große und sehr auffallend gezeichnete Art wurde 2001 zur Spinne des Jahres gewählt. Während Männchen nur eine Körperlänge von sechs Millimetern erreichen, werden Weibchen mit bis zu 25 Millimetern deutlich größer. Unverwechselbar ist bei den Weibchen das gelb-weiß gestreifte Opisthosoma (Hinterleib), das mit schwarzen Querbändern wespenähnlich gezeichnet ist, und das silbrig-weiß behaarte Prosoma (Vorderleib). Die hellbraunen Männchen mit undeutlicher dunkler Zeichnung sind wesentlich unauffälliger.
_ The wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) is a species of orb-web spider distributed throughout central Europe, northern Europe, north Africa, parts of Asia and in the Azores archipelago. Like many other members of the genus Argiope, (including St Andrew's Cross spiders), it shows striking yellow and black markings on its abdomen.
_ A darázspók (Argiope bruennichi) pókok (Araneae) rendjébe és a keresztespókfélék (Araneidae) családjába tartozó, Magyarországon őshonos faj.
The visitors' entrance doesn't need door handles or a knocker, as Thames House is the headquarters of MI5 ('the Security Service'): they already know who you are, when you'll be arriving, and why.
Okay; these are merely the outer doors, opened during office hours.
The Grade II Listed building, on the northern bank of the river overlooking Lambeth Bridge, was designed by Sir Frank Baines in an Imperial Neoclassical style and built 1928-30 for ICI. Acquired by the government for £82 million in 1988, Thames house underwent "refurbishment to a basic office standard" costing £227 million (which obviously included certain specialist requirements) before opening in 1994.
The conversion incorporated considerable physical and electronic defences, few of which are immediately apparent, but note the metal brackets in the lower windows, supporting glass panels preventing anything being left on the sills. I also happened to see some of those distinctive bollards being installed in Whitehall last year, so know that their foundations are startlingly robust. For those unfamiliar with UK road markings, the red line means 'don't even think of stopping here, never mind waiting'.
Not to be confused with the ziggurat-like headquarters of MI6 (SIS, 'the Secret Intelligence Service') at Vauxhall Cross, on the southern bank of the Thames at Vauxhall Bridge, nor Freemasons' Hall in Great Queen Street, Holburn, the exterior of which was used as 'Thames House' in the BBC's 'Spooks' TV series. The real Thames House did appear in the BBC's 'Torchwood: Children Of Earth', however.
I presume the bearded face over the doors (which are by W.B. Fagan), bounded by sails and similar nautical imagery, represents Old Father Thames.
