Field of oilseed rape at Duffus.....
Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c.1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.
Spectacular clouds over Duffus Castle......
Mottes were common in Scotland the 1100s and 1200s, before they were replaced by stone castles. They were fortifications, usually consisting of a wooden keep on top of an artificial earthwork mound. Some also had an enclosed courtyard or bailey, containing additional wooden buildings, protected by a ditch and palisade.
Duffus Castle was a fortress–residence for more than 500 years, from the 1100s to the 1700s. The stone castle we see today was built in the 1300s, replacing an earlier timber fortress.
Once one of the strongest castles in Scotland, it was reduced to a decaying ruin by the time of its abandonment in 1705. But the castle remains an impressive sight, situated on a mound rising out of the flat Laich of Moray.

This is a near perfect reflection of the fall colours in the waters of Lake Kan-ac-to in the Adirondack Park, New York. I really like the shapes and colours of the trees and how the mirror effect creates symmetry.
The skeletal framework of the bridge rises like a prehistoric titan over the obsidian waters, its iron ribs glowing with a fire that refuses to die against the encroaching storm. Every bolt and beam hums with the phantom echoes of a thousand journeys, casting long, jagged shadows that dance upon the river's surface. It is a monument of amber light in a world of charcoal clouds, a golden artery connecting the forgotten past with a restless, dark future that whispers from the depths.
As the heavy clouds thicken above the steel arches, the city lights in the distance flicker like dying embers against the cold breath of the river. The bridge stands as a silent sentinel, enduring the weight of time and the relentless flow of the current that seeks to wash away its golden reflection. In this intersection of industrial might and natural gloom, the air feels thick with the secrets of those who cross it, leaving only a trail of light to pierce the absolute silence of the midnight hour.
The changing scene down by the Three Arena in Dublin's docklands, bigger blocks down in the docks, doubled in size by reflections in the river.

St Peter's Kirk stands south of the road leading to Gordonstoun School about a quarter of a mile east of the village of Duffus. It is sometimes referred to as St Peter's Church; as Duffus Old Parish Church; as Duffus Old Kirk; or just as Peter Kirk.
You approach St Peter's Kirk along a grassy lane that runs south from the minor road from Duffus. There is space to park on the north side of the road without causing an obstruction, or you can walk from Duffus. A sign on the inner gate tells visitors where the key to the church is is kept, though access around and views into the church are so good that many visitors probably choose to do without.
