Dykemoor Drove We're in Fenland, and this means some largely featureless squares.  No wonder all the handful of pictures of this square so far are of Dykemoor Drove, whose junction with Primrose Hill (where this photograph was taken) is almost the only point of interest in it.

Fire damaged wind turbine on Ranson Moor west of March According to press reports the turbine was struck by lightning earlier in the day. The fire service allowed the fire to burn itself out as they had no way to fight the fire. It does beg the question what would happen if there was a fire in a turbine close to buildings such as these two turbines <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4612225" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4612225">Link</a> and <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3220476" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3220476">Link</a>
