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.
British hardened field defences of World War II were small fortified structures constructed as a part of British anti-invasion preparations. They were popularly known as pillboxes, a reference to their shape... This one was seen at Easington on the East Yorkshire Coast ...

I had to collect some items we'd won at Auction from Clevedon Salerooms back in February 2018. So thought I'd get some shots of the pier while I was there.
The light was pretty harsh so wasn't ideal for the long exposure I wanted to capture. I thought I'd have a go at processing one this morning. This edit is just about the best I could do. I think I'm pretty happy with it

Macro of the central spine of a peace lily leaf. The image is formed from a stack of around 60 frames to build a detailed impression of the structure and texture of the leaf close where it is changing from green to brown.
