Day 22 of #AllanAugust with Elwin, my Elven Allan. I’ve been wanting to do an elf custom, green haired custom and freckled Allan custom for literally years, so this was three birds, one stone kind of deal.
His freckles were done with a toothbrush flicking on brown paint, and his hair is painted but the rest of him was layers and layers of pencils, pastels and a LOT of MSC.
His ears are attached with wire and epoxy putty, and yes, he’s anatomically correct ;)
This is the third and final post relating to the Battle of the River Plate and features the second Leander-class light cruiser that participated, HMS Ajax (22).
Ajax was built at Vickers' Shipyard, in Barrow-in-Furness, England. Laid down on 7 February 1933, she was launched on 1 March 1934 and completed on 12 April 1935. After serving in the Caribbean, she underwent her first refit in late 1937, at which time the four single 4-inch QF high-angle guns were replaced by twin turrets, as seen above (compare with Achilles' original fit in the image I posted two days ago). She retained a Fairey Seafox spotter planes, although they were later replaced by Supermarine Walruses.
She became famous for her part in the 13 December 1939 Battle of the River Plate, in which the Admiral Graf Spee obtained seven hits on her, disabling X and Y turrets, causing further structural damage and 12 casualties including seven killed. At the end of the action she had less than 20% of her 6" main armament remaining.
In 1942 her anti-aircraft armament was improved with the addition of 11 Oerlikon 20mm cannons. She was bombed in harbour at Bone, Algeria, in 1943 and refitted in Norfolk Navy Yard, VA., where four American quadruple 40mm anti-aircraft mounts replaced some (all?) of the earlier AA fits.
She returned to Europe in time to support the landings at Gold Beach on D-Day and later Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France in August 1944. Post-war, she supported British anti-Communist operations in Greece. She also escorted the refrigerated cargo ship Highland Monarch for at least part of her journey (probably from Freetown) to the mouth of the Elbe river, Germany, in 1946. The cargo ship was repatriating the surviving members of the Admiral Graf Spee's crew, many of whom were reluctant to go, having married and settled in Argentina in the six year since they were interned.
Ajax was decommissioned in 1948 and went for scrapping in 1949.
Details of the Leander-class design and fit can be found under the Achilles image posted two days ago.

22 / 100 : Tough one.
Damn, it feels like i'm really behind with my photo uploads lately.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's such a bad thing : might it even mean that I finally got over that URGE, the need of showing my work to others in every possible way hoping to get their approval? Yeah, maybe.
On the other hand, it also means that I finally got busier with jobs and commissions and so on.
So, this photo was taken over a week ago, after spending a full afternoon at my favorite spot in the city to find strangers.
Since so much time passed by, I have to admit I don't remember very well our encounter.
The only thing I clearly remember is that she was with a guy, and they both kindly agreed immediately to have their portraits taken.
Now, why did I wait this long to post it, you might ask….
As you know, I decided to follow some rules when I started this 100 Strangers project and one of them was that I couldn't post choose more than one portrait per "session".
Might seem like a stupid rule but I truly believe it helps me to constantly learn and improve how to select images, how to detach from the photos and narrow down to the very best ones (for me, at least!)
But that day, almost right after this one, I took another portrait that really left me a bit speechless… And I got in that weird funk where you can't quite decided which one to post.
Two girls, two amazingly interesting faces, two important portraits…
I got stuck. And I couldn't seem to be able to get over it until….
Well, until I went out shooting again this saturday!
And as soon as I took the NEXT stranger portrait I knew I just HAD to make a decision so I sat down and picked the one that I would like to see the most among those 100 portraits once the project is gonna be complete : this one.
Thanks, stranger!
So, tomorrow I'll post the next stranger but in the meanwhile, why don't you go and check in my Facebook Page for the extras to see if you could understand which was the other portraits I couldn't choose between?

A 22 degree halo spotted yesterday 9/2/2019. I don't recall ever seeing one before, I think they're quite rare. Caused by light passing through ice crystals high in the sky.

This video shows thunderstorms affecting our annual family camping trip! Our camping trip this year was from July 19-22, 2015. This year, we headed to the Wolf Creek Campgrounds located at the Union Valley Reservoir. The thunderstorms quickly formed during the afternoon hours. Skies were quite clear during the morning. Talk about afternoon convection and atmospheric instability in the making! We even heard quite a few faint rumbles of thunder while we were at the lake. (If you want, put volume up and if possible, wear headphones to hear the thunder). The storms came when we were right at the lake...but it was perfect timing. Now I got to enjoy my type of weather! Even some of us wanted to go for a dip in the lake during the rain/thunderstorm lol. It was a great experience indeed! The storms subsided by the late afternoon hours...
(Footage/pics taken on Monday, July 20, 2015 while in and around the Union Valley Reservoir, at the Wolf Creek Campground side.)
How things got interesting weather-wise:
Our trip so happens to fall in days when the region was to experience thunderstorms! What timing, right?! Even on Sunday, July 19, 2015 when our trip started, this was the same time when moisture from the remnants of former Hurricane Dolores went over SoCal, breaking rainfall records there. Even when we were leaving San Jose, CA, t-storms have already occurred around the Monterey areas!! Some of the moisture even eventually made it up here around the Sierra Nevada where we were! So I took full advantage of this and took quite a few photos and video of the t-storms that did form and drift into our campground. On Monday, July 20, 2015, some of us even had the rare chance to swim in the reservoir during a thunderstorm! Don't worry, we didn't get struck by lightning, though one of us saw a CG lightning strike nearby to our north or so! It was a nice experience to swim in the lake in such weather! Then on Tuesday, July 21, 2015, the region had another similar weather pattern. T-storms developed again during the afternoon hours. Even a severe t-storm warning was issued for the region as slow-moving storms popped up around the area. Some of us (including me) were lucky enough to see some lightning from a slowly approaching storm cell to our south! The fun part was seeing these storms develop and approach towards while we were chilling\swimming at the lake. Overall, our annual family camping trip this year was an interesting one, thanks to the storms! The t-storm development had slowed down at the time when we were leaving, too (Wednesday, July 22, 2015)! It's pretty neat to realize that the storms had occurred only when we were there up in the Sierras.

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
I took that picture when I went to visit my sister's cat. I try to go 2-3 times a week because if I don't she doesn't have food from 7am-7pm. She doesn't understand that she has to leave some in her bowl for during the day. My sister is in training for 10 weeks, so she's out of town.
I was checking the traffic, she lives in a really busy intersection in Montreal.
