A visit to the site known as the Oracle of Delphi or where in Greek Mythology a High Priestess of the Temple of Apollo served as the oracle. It occupies an impressive the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus overlooking the coastal plain to the south and the valley of Phocis.

We had our annual week of Bible camp for the ELCA and LCMS churches of southern Arizona. We rented the Triangle Y Ranch Camp in Oracle, and it comes with a built in worship area from the 1940's. Because of HUGE fire danger we didn't even try to light a real fire, but we were able to set some mood with votives around the fire.
Besides Sean D. Tucker's custom biplane, there was another Oracle-sponsored plane at the show, and I'm not sure who was flying it.
This came late in the day and by that time, I thought I had enough number of sharp images, so I decided to drop down the shutter speed again, and go for propeller motion look, even if it meant I lost some sharpness.
I actually got some sharp images nevertheless, with propeller blur. So 1/250s worked quite well.

Hey, that's a great thing to send to someone whose much loved Powerbook
as just died. Stupid stupid stupid Oracle.
"They have served the dark will of Persian kings for 500 years. Eyes as dark as night. Teeth filed to fangs. Soulless. The personal guard to King Xerxes himself. The Persian warrior elite. The deadliest fighting force in all of Asia. The Immortals."
('Immortals' by NECA)
Ever since the Batgirl Pullip was announced I planned on getting two, one to keep as Batgirl and one to turn into Oracle. For non-comic fans Oracle is who Barbara Gordon aka. Batgirl becomes after being crippled at the hands of the Joker in the Killing Joke.
As the Oracle, Barbara is indispensable to the superhero community as an information broker where she relies more on her keen intellect and computer skills to fight crime in an increasingly technological world. She eventually goes on to found the Birds of Prey crime fighting team with Dinah Lance aka. Black Canary.
During the recent DC relaunch Barbara Gordon regained her ability to walk in the comics (The Killing Joke still happened but she was eventually rehabilitated and able to walk again).

Like my other Power Figures, this is loosely based on African Bochia and Minkisi power figures, sometimes called "nail fetishes" because of the nails and other pieces of metal that are driven into them ritually to release their magical power.
The figure (head, arms,legs, body) is entirely hand-sculpted by me.
Additive material includes acrylic “doll eye” beads hand-painted by me, replica antique doll parts, fishing net, glass beads, rusted nails.

Oracle was built at the Cammell Laird Birkenhead yard and launched in 1961 and was an Oberon class submarine. This class were improvements over the earlier Porpoise class being made of higher grade steel, having a fibre glass conning tower and having a better equipment fit. The class was intended for anti-submarine operations but also carred out may special forces missions..
She was decommissioned in 1993 and broken up at Pounds Yard, Portsmouth between 1997 and 2003
