Wahey I thought it had all gone quiet, nice day for it, mine was indeed the site of Tower hill scaffold, scene of public executions, what the public used to enbtertain themselves with before X-factor, a show which would be improved in my opinion by a few more hangings.
.....The prisoner climbed up a short flight of stairs and was allowed to make a final speech to the public. He was not restrained in any way, for he was supposed to know how to behave at his execution. It was like a piece of theatre in which he was expected to play his part with courage and dignity. He then knelt and waited for the axe to strike.
How very British....would'nt want to make a scene at your own execution, I mean, how embarrassing. What were the penalties for not behaving at your own execution exactly?
And how rad to the power of sick, or just sick, is the family arranging to have your head sewn back on after a beheading so you can get portrait painted, as happened to James Duke of Monmouth in 1685.

Being chased around and hacked to death apparently!
"Margaret, Countess of Salisbury...refused to place her head on the block, and had to be chased around the green by the executioner, who hacked her to death."
Great tag! I love historical ones I do.

thanks, and sorry rhowe. I realise I've done more than my fair share recently, but just couldn't resist this one.

I don't think I can argue that someone else is tagging too much anyway.
The night tagging suggestion has given me an idea, but it will require quite a bit of time.

Man, I know what that white building in the foreground, been in it a few times. Even photographed the celebrity that owns it too.
Nice night shots. My workload is incredibly busy at the moment, would love to do a tag soon.

Lovely night time photos! Triangulation needed for the new one I think!

Judging by the direction that would have to be taken from and the elevation needed I can only think of one place you can get a shot like that from. And if the "white" building in the foreground is what I think it is then I and plenty of others have been in it a few times but it ain't owned by a celebrity.
So, tell me flower, am I barking up the wrong tree here?

I knew it was the wellcome building! I checked on googel maps and it was different. Bastard!

I'd also dearly love to do Taggy Cat, but I'm in Cornwall that weekend. I get the feeling it won't be the only opportunity though ;-)

I'm thinking the same as you. I will actually ride past where I think it is, so I'll test the theory. Not gonna take the tag though :)
Reposting it so it's on this page. I'm curious about this one!
