Old gaol story
Posted by MoiVous, 06-21-2009, 07:51 AM MoiVous is offline

The South Aussie Pentaxians met today at the Old Adelaide Gaol.

Old gaols can give an insight into a world very few of us see.

This was a working gaol until 1988, and had a number of hangings within its walls - the last being in 1964.

The following series is a journey within those walls ........I make no judgement about events within or beyond the walls....

(click on an image to enlarge it)

Entry to another world....



...first view......


...be warned - alarms exist.......


..and observation is constant.....


The new residence.....


...and the neighbourhood.....


Thinking of what has been.....


...the end is near....the hanging tower cell......


...last sight before the end.....


....and consequence......the last resting place.....


but others remember too.....


Thanks for viewing the series.

Some more from the Adelaide Gaol

Just a few from the Adelaide Pentax group's day out

The first two with Sigma 10-20
The last four with Pentax DA14














All in all a great day and pleased to meet some more Pentaxians.

Nice ones UltraWide!

I really like 3, 4 and 6 (good job with that being handheld )

Number 4 and the nascent Pentaxian is a beauty!

We'll have to organise another SA Pentaxian day soon......

And thankyou Fadzil - I like that one too.

Its interesting to compare UltraWide's images with mine as well - same scenes, different viewpoint (my 3 & 4 compared to UltraWides 1 & 2).....

Cheers
