After reports of heavy siege equipment and chariots being positioned for an attack on Eastgate, the city council has commissioned new defences.
Weary from the long siege and the conflict between the now reunited brothers Dugal and Petera, the citizens, craftsmen, and soldiers have flocked to help keep the new enemy at bay.
To further deter assaults, a poleturner is sharpening logs to be placed at the defensive end of the ditch, holding off any cavalry or chariots brave (or stupid) enough to jump the ditch.

The UK Trade & Investment Section at the British Embassy in Budapest organised a very successful seminar with four companies from the UK on 16 November 2011.
They stick poles into the sea bed and after a while enough silt will collect for a salt-marsh to form. It looks much nicer than most sea defences. It also looks like an upside down Eritrean flag in this photo.

Puymartin Castle is located 6km from Sarlat.
At the start of the Hundred Years War, Puymartin Castle was a strategic axis of the conflict between France and England. In 1356, King Jean le Bon was taken prisoner by the English, which triggered a series of troubles in France. English mercenaries storm Puymartin on January 8, 1357.
The consul of Sarlat sends his representatives to monetize their departure. They end up liberating the castle. Then to avoid any new occupation of the site, the crenels, the ramparts of the walls and roofs of the castle are removed, destroyed and the floors uprooted. Puymartin will remain in ruins throughout the Hundred Years War.
Today remain the remains of the primitive castle of the 13th century partly destroyed by the repeated assaults of the Hundred Years War, the traces of the many architectural transformations and additions made in the 16th century, the painted decorations of the 17th century, unique in Périgord ( classified as Historic Monuments), until the major overhaul of the 19th century. Each defensive system, each mullioned window, each addition bears witness to a singular history, that of the Château de Puymartin in Périgord, which is part of a more global history, that of the history of France.

Coastal Defence Battery; Observation and Command and Control for Fort San Jacinto
On a recent trip to Galveston Island I stumbled upon what is left of Fort San Jacinto at the north end of Galveston Island near East Beach. I have been able to uncover very little in the way of historical references for this fortification except anecdotal references.
The area where these shots were taken has been used as a fortification since the French and Spanish were here. The system of forst was expanded under the government of the Republic of Texas and was even used briefly by both the Confederate Army and the army of the north during the Civil War due to its key location overloooking Galveston Bay.
The pictured structure was completed in the early 1900's. During World War II the current structures anchored a series of gun emplacements (coastal batteries) that protected the port approaches.
Sadly in later years it was used as a dumping site for the Army Corps of Engineers during dredging operations after having been abandoned and left to the ravages of numerous hurricanes and vandals.
A piece of Texas history left to rot away, sad.
