Electric power companies tend to build large and very heavy, structurally sound buildings because they sometimes contain elements like transformers that deal in very large amounts of energy. It is protection and strength, in case of a malfunction. Photograph taken in Sacramento, California.
A detail of the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, which is, in my belief, a wonderful architecture - unlike the newer building close to the Brandenburg Gate.
Also I love this tiny camera. Always to have with me, extremely fast to shoot with and still under my control.

These small circular rock pools, only a few feet across, are built by local beach-goers. Resembling miniature loko (fishponds) of old, these modern-day constructions are built by fishermen to keep their catch alive. They also are used by families as a "kiddie pool" for toddlers.

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.

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.
