Very pleased with the lighting of this one. Location took a while with the satellite image but I eventually found sufficient fixed points to tie it down.

Portland Castle [7]
The port of Portland, seen from the gun terrace of the castle. The two caissons on the left of the image were built as part of the Mulberry Harbour project in the Second World War.
Portland Castle is an artillery fort and was constructed by Henry VIII, between 1539 and 1541 to provide defence against invasion from France and The Holy Roman Empire. Armed with eleven artillery pieces, it was intended for use against enemy shipping, operating in partnership with its sister castle of Sandsfoot on the other side of the anchorage. During the English Civil War, Portland was taken by the Royalists and survived two sieges before surrendering to Parliament in 1646. It was converted into a private house in 1815. Today in the care of English Heritage and open to the public. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1205262 A Scheduled Ancient Monument with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1015326
