Remains of 15th century castle with Norman keep. Built on a rocky promontory on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, it is possible that the first castle on this site was built for William II, who was called Rufus due to his red hair. In 1142 during the civil war known as The Anarchy, Robert Earl of Gloucester captured the castle from King Stephen on behalf of Empress Maud.
Rebuilt in the 15th century, much of what remains today dates from this time with the exception of a single arch which can be seen on the approach from Chuch Ope Road.
Interestingly, the castle is also known as 'Bow and Arrow Castle' due to the fact that the 7 foot thick walls are dotted with umpteen 'loop-holes' which allowed archers to fire at any invading forces trying their luck! The north and western parts of these walls still stand at their original height.

Thousands of activists rally outside the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. The activists were protesting the presence of federal officers in the city, and continuing the Black Lives Matter protests that started after the murder of George Floyd.
Portland has been roiled by nightly protests following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. President Donald Trump said he sent federal agents to Oregon’s largest city to halt the unrest but state and local officials say they are making the situation worse.
The clashes in Portland have further inflamed the nation’s political tensions and triggered a crisis over the limits of federal power as Trump moves to send U.S. officers to other Democratic-led cities he says are violent.

The Portland is a typical representative of the old
tan-faced sheep that was found throughout the
south west before the Roman invasion. The sheep
were originally bred on the Isle of Portland and
whilst the rest of the U.K. was experimenting
with breed development the sheep of Portland remained
isolated. By the early 20th century the Portland
was under pressure from other breeds and in
1920 the last Portland sheep left the island. The
breed became very rare although there were always
Portlands at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire,
where a flock had been established in 1770.
The sheep’s small size and distinctive look have earned
the breed many devoted admirers. Recently Portlands
have been re-introduced on to the Isle of
Portland.

We went to Portland Bill the other day and although it was not as windy as I would have liked (for photos that is!), it is still a very raw and wild place. I have never cleaned my lens as many times as I did that day, and I am not sure I have ever thought: "Is this next step safe and what if...." that many times in one day! The ONE impression the place left me with was this:
Despite what we do, as human beings, Mother Nature rules supreme, she is relentless, non-forgiving and cannot be tamed. I, for one, am so very happy about that!
