Orkney was the site of a Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow which played a major role in World War I and 11. This Royal Navy base was strategically important for the Battle of Jutland. This battle was from 31st May 1st June, 1916, off the North Sea coast of Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula. It was the largest naval battle and the only full-scale clash of battleships in that war. My Great-Grandfather was in this battle. He was a stoker. His ship was rammed by one of their own ships and he spent 5 hours in the cold waters of the North Sea. Many stokers perished in this battle – most would think it was because they were trapped down below, but many perished as they came from the heat of the boiler room into the cold water and would go into shock.
After the Armistice in 1918, the German High Seas Fleet was transferred in its entirety to Scapa Flow to await a decision on its future. The German sailors opened the sea-cocks and scuttled all the ships. Most ships were salvaged, but the remaining wrecks are now a favoured haunt of recreational divers. One month into World War II, a German U-boat sank the Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Oak in Scapa Flow. As a result barriers were built to close most of the access channels; these had the additional advantage of creating causeways enabling travellers to go from island to island by road instead of being obliged to rely on ferries. The causeways were constructed by Italian prisoners of war, who also constructed the ornate Italian Chapel out of a Nissan Hut! These barriers became known as the Churchill Barriers as Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister at the time, visited Scapa Flow after the U-boat incident and ordered these barriers to be put in.

Elected officials and representatives join U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Michael Leeney, center, commander of the California Army National Guard’s 40th Infantry Division, and Lt. Col. Manju Vig, garrison commander of Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, May 19, 2022, for an energy resilience project at Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, California. From left: Schelly Sustarsic, City of Seal Beach Council Member, District 4, George Boutros, field representative for Assemblymember Janet Nguyen, Karen Calderon, field representative for U.S. Rep. Alan Lowenthal, Leeney, Vig, Chet Simmons, city manager for the City of Los Alamitos, and Tim Whitacre, district director for Orange County 1st District Supervisor Andrew Do. The project, which will be constructed, owned and operated by Bright Canyon Energy, will generate 26 megawatts of solar photovoltaics, and will include a battery energy storage system, backup generators and a microgrid control system. The project enhances the installation’s energy resilience by providing power for critical missions for a minimum of two weeks during electrical grid outages. The project supports the Army Climate Strategy goal to build a microgrid on every installation by 2035. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Crystal Housman)
Northwest flow aloft, combined with some light southeasterlies at the surface and modest moisture pooling along a weak boundary, led to this marginally severe thunderstorm northeast of Edmonton that gradually evolved into a picturesque supercell.

HMS Queen Elizabeth
This is the lead ship of the Queen Elizabeth-class of supercarrier, the largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom and capable of carrying up to 40 aircraft. The ship was named by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2014, began sea trials in June 2017 and will formally be commissioned by the end of 2017.
HMS Queen Elizabeth has no catapults or arrestor wires and is instead designed to operate V/STOL aircraft; the air wing will typically consist of F-35B Lightning II multirole fighters and Merlin helicopters for airborne early warning and anti-submarine warfare. There is accommodation for 250 Royal Marines.
Deboxing my Rapunzel and Flynn Rider Doll Set. First the cardboard cover sleeve is slipped off the case, to reveal the dolls behind the acrylic cover of the case. Then the acrylic cover is taken off, so the dolls are now in clear view. They are anchored to the base by the built in doll stands, and attached to the cardboard backing and plastic spaces by wires, rubber bands, thread and plastic T-tabs. Rapunzel looks lovely in her dramatic pose, gazing at the lantern held aloft in her right hand. Unfortunately, she completely blocks Flynn, who is almost directly behind her. They don't look very romantic when they aren't looking at each other, and are not touching, with a large hunk of plastic between them.

First Look
I got my Rapunzel and Flynn Rider Doll Set from my local Disney Store today, its release day, Tuesday September 3, 2013. There were only ten (10) people in the raffle for 18 doll sets, so less than the crowd for Snow White and the Prince (when there were about a dozen takers). Once again I was the first name to be called (I know, something smells fishy about that kind of luck), so I was happy to be the first to purchase my Tangled doll set. I noticed that the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection section now had the four remaining doll sets all displayed. The Snow White doll set was now gone from the display, as they are sold out. They were now restocked with mugs, and had a good supply of all five different DFDC mugs. I didn't bring my camera, so I didn't take any photos of the display.
As soon as I paid for my doll set, I took it outside, to a table in a rest area just outside the store. I took the box out of the gift bag, and saw the base and sleeve were in perfect shape. Then I carefully lifted the cover sleeve off the case, and inspected the dolls. They both looked in perfect shape. Rapunzel was even in a decent pose, with her head tilted at a normal looking angle, to gaze at the lantern. She looked as beautiful as I expected from seeing her in the promo images, and in person at the D23 Expo and my local store. What I was most impressed with was her outfit, as I never looked really close at it before, being afraid to handle the display dolls in the Expo or my local stores. While I was inspecting the dolls, several people near me asked about the dolls, and I put on my best salesman face to sell them on the dolls. They looked as though they were impressed by the look of the dolls.
I will photograph the dolls boxed, during the deboxing, and then fully deboxed. I will also compare them with other dolls in my collection.
Text of the box notes on the back of the cover sleeve:
A romantic at heart, Rapunzel is artistic, creative and full of curiosity. Spending her days painting and singing, her energy is as limitless as her hair is long. However, when the handsome thief Flynn Rider picks her mysterious and secluded tower as his hideout, the two begin a journey together that will untangle many secrets along the way.
Signature long hair romantically styled with braiding and flowers. Printed satin corset bodice with puffed velvet sleeves and lace detail. Warm illuminating lantern.
Layered gown with ornate golden detailing. Rich velvet overlay with gemstones and gold printed inset.
Suede-like vest that's belted with a satchel to hold the Princess' crown. Boots to finish his rugged look.
A fond farewell.

Much of my exploration of photography for the last year has been driven by weekly challenges for groups to follow a theme. The weekly challenge for the flickr group Macro Mondays for this week was to show something that "It's so Bokeh, can you even tell what it is?"
I experimented with controlling bokeh by using transparent objects prior to this challenge and this image shows how I used the glass base of a goblet to meet the theme. I tried to bisect the glass by showing the refracted frame of the window through the axis of the glass, calling attention to its roundness and transparency.
Snapped with a Pentax K10D camera using the smc P-A 135mm F2.8 lens with a 31 mm extension tube. PP with UFRaw to set white balance, apply curves and saturation, and resize to the JPG.
