Ruins of the old convict gaol at the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia. I have tried something a little different from my normal processing to avoid the sky being washed out. Let me know if you think it works! Other works from New Caledonia Rainbow road / Sunset on the Isle / Watching the sun fall /
Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Kilmainham Gaol has played an important part in Irish history, as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and some executed in the jail. The jail has also been used as a set for several films.
A little slice of the history of Edinburgh, the Governor’s House on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. / Looking quite medieval, this is actually an early 19th century structure, the remains of the old Calton Gaol, a prison that was once on the historic hill. / Atmospheric evening fog and illumination came together to make this something special. Available as cards and a variety of prints – if interested in cards, on the preview page, please try with “black backing” as the artist intends.
I noticed that all around the gaol walls were consecutive numbers painted in large writing, I wondered why, I was told that if a guard went on duty he could radio back to base with an exact position of his where abouts…they are like grid references

I really loved these old metal staricases around the prison… /
Like an enormous spine… / / But it wasn’t all doom and gloom today, there was time for a bit of dressing up…replica Ned Kelly armour is kindly provided… /
It took so long to get this shot…I was waiting and waiting for a moment when all the tourists were looking in the cells and not wandering around on the ground level…but finally….for a second it was empty…. /
I balanced my camera on a rail to take this since I didn’t have my tripod with me. There was a really ominous feeling here and both my daughter and I were pleased to leave! But I have seen so many fabulous photos of this gaol…I just had to have one for my collection.

One of the windows at The Roundhouse, Fremantle, Western Australia. Loved the cobwebs, really lent to the spookiness of this old building. / Texture layers added. / Camera – Nikon D90 Bit of Info - / The Round House is the oldest remaining building in Western Australia. It was built as a gaol and was the first permanent building in the colony. It was designed by HW Reveley, the colony’s first civil engineer, and built in 1830 – 1831. The Round House had eight cells and a gaolers residence which all opened up into a central courtyard. Bay whaling was carried out from Bathers beach below the Round House. As part of the whaling operations a tunnel was constructed under the Round House to provide whalers with access to the town from the jetty and bathers beach. When the first convicts arrived in 1850 the Round House was inadequate to house them so the convicts built a new goal which was completed in the 1850’s and continued to be used as Fremantle prison through until 1991.

These brilliant autumnal colours were found lining Ford street, outside Beechworth Gaol (which is no longer used). The Beechworth Gaol, Victoria, Australia, was finished in 1860. Ned Kelly is probably the most famous bush ranger connected with Beechworth. Early records show in 1870, Ned aged 16, stood trial on a minor charge and served six months at Beechworth Gaol. In 1878 his mother, son-in-law Skillon and another man were arrested and placed in jail pending trial for attempted murder of Constable Fitzpatrick. She was given three years hard labour, considered by some to be extremely harsh. This was featured in ‘A Garden Somewhere…’ Group and ‘Which Way’ Group. / This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera and 18-55 mm lens.
