Concrete things with holes in them, at the edge of a Lincolnshire field. I don't know what these things are. There are several of them in one location, quite big, probably been there a long time and no obvious purpose. One on its own might have been an artwork I suppose. Get the sun behind one of them and you can make silly effects.
La Isla Pancha es un islote que se ubica en la punta noreste de Ribadeo, en la desembocadura del RÃo Eo. De superficie limitada, ocupa casi 1 hectárea y, aunque en ella se levantan dos faros (uno de ellos pintado de blanco y azul, datado de 1860) lo más probable es que no se pueda acceder ni al faro ni a la isla en general debido a que está unida a la costa por un puente que la mayorÃa de las veces se encuentra cerrado. Pese a ello, cabe destacar que la vista es mucho más hermosa desde el mirador que desde el faro.
En cuanto emprendemos camino por la carretera del Faro (la cual se señaliza como "Estrada do Faro") se presenta ante nosotros una impresionante panorámica de la RÃa, con Figueras y Castropol de fondo.
Pancha Island
is an islet that is located at the northeastern tip of Ribadeo, at the mouth of the Eo River. With a limited area, it occupies almost 1 hectare and, although two lighthouses stand on it (one of them painted white and blue, dating from 1860), it is most likely that neither the lighthouse nor the island in general can be accessed due to because it is linked to the coast by a bridge that is closed most of the time. Despite this, it should be noted that the view is much more beautiful from the viewpoint than from the lighthouse.
As soon as we set off along the Faro road (which is signposted as "Estrada do Faro"), an impressive panoramic view of the RÃa appears before us, with Figueras and Castropol in the background.

Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
More than eighty percent of the 10th century group of temples iside "Survaya ki Garhi" was destroyed in subesequent invasions. But, with wonderful effort of the Archaeological Survey of India, it has been grossly restored and the ancient structures and the courtyard bear the touch of the era.
