Mountains of used tires lie in a dump in the countryside in Sesena Nuevo, near Madrid, Spain, on September 24, 2014. The site in Sesena is a major environmental problem and was declared illegal back in 2003. The company responsible was fined multiple times, eventually abandoning the site. The regional government has now started to clear the area, hoping to finish within four years. Most of the material will be recycled for building materials, surfacing for roads, sports tracks and children's playgrounds.

About 30 miles to the south you can find the chalk hill figure of a horse, the so-called Uffington White Horse. Recent OSL dating (optically stimulated luminescence dating, basically dating when minerals were last exposed to sunlight) of the soil directly underneath the lowest level of the chalk filled trenches which constitute the horse figure, showed that it was made during the late Bronz Age (early urnfield culture), at about 1000 BC and was already present when they built the Iron Age hill fort a little bit further up White Horse Hill. This of course leaves the question whether it was supposed to be a horse at all, since the horse was re-introduced into Britain by the Celts. Maybe scouring changed it to something more familiar in medieval times. So it could as well have been a dog or a dragon.
