Normandy (French: Normandie, Norman: Normaundie, from Old French Normanz, plural of Normant, originally from the word for "northman" in several Scandinavian languages) is one of the 18 regions of France, roughly referring to the historical Duchy of Normandy.
Normandy is divided into five administrative departments: Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne, and Seine-Maritime. It covers 30,627 square kilometres (11,825 sq mi), comprising roughly 5% of the territory of metropolitan France. Its population of 3.37 million accounts for around 5% of the population of France. The inhabitants of Normandy are known as Normans, and the region is the historic homeland of the Norman language.
The historical region of Normandy comprised the present-day region of Normandy, as well as small areas now part of the departments of Mayenne and Sarthe. The Channel Islands (French: Îles Anglo-Normandes) are also historically part of Normandy; they cover 194 km² and comprise two bailiwicks: Guernsey and Jersey, which are British Crown dependencies over which Queen Elizabeth II reigns as Duke of Normandy.
Normandy's name comes from the settlement of the territory by mainly Danish and Norwegian Vikings ("Northmen") from the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century between King Charles III of France and the Viking jarl Rollo. For a century and a half following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by Norman and Frankish rulers.

The Normandy landings were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied France (and later Europe) from Nazi control, and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.
Planning for the operation began in 1943. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted a substantial military deception, codenamed Operation Bodyguard, to mislead the Germans as to the date and location of the main Allied landings. The weather on D-Day was far from ideal and the operation had to be delayed 24 hours; a further postponement would have meant a delay of at least two weeks as the invasion planners had requirements for the phase of the moon, the tides, and the time of day that meant only a few days each month were deemed suitable. Adolf Hitler placed German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in command of German forces and of developing fortifications along the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an Allied invasion.
The amphibious landings were preceded by extensive aerial and naval bombardment and an airborne assault—the landing of 24,000 US, British, and Canadian airborne troops shortly after midnight. Allied infantry and armoured divisions began landing on the coast of France at 06:30. The target 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. Strong winds blew the landing craft east of their intended positions, particularly at Utah and Omaha. The men landed under heavy fire from gun emplacements overlooking the beaches, and the shore was mined and covered with obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire, making the work of the beach-clearing teams difficult and dangerous. Casualties were heaviest at Omaha, with its high cliffs. At Gold, Juno, and Sword, several fortified towns were cleared in house-to-house fighting, and two major gun emplacements at Gold were disabled, using specialised tanks.
The Allies failed to achieve any of their goals on the first day. Carentan, St. Lô, and Bayeux remained in German hands, and Caen, a major objective, was not captured until 21 July. Only two of the beaches (Juno and Gold) were linked on the first day, and all five beachheads were not connected until 12 June; however, the operation gained a foothold which the Allies gradually expanded over the coming months. German casualties on D-Day have been estimated at 4,000 to 9,000 men. Allied casualties were at least 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead.
Museums, memorials, and war cemeteries in the area now host many visitors each year.

There is never darkness in life...
Even the Sun and the moon make sure that.
If you watch closely, there is a phase of transition between Sun and the Moon.. and Moon takes over before Sun goes to light someone else's world..

From left to right, each camera represents the different phases I've gone through in my particular journey in the hobby of photography.
Rock and sandstone patterns, Panther Beach, Davenport California. Yes, its a bit of a mess, but kind of a pretty mess. The Taffoni-like sandstone patterns at this location have always attracted my eye, so I spent some time studying the patterns, settling on an abstract composition of this small alcove lit up by the sun just as it touched the horizon.
Finally, my last eclipse image.
This is a composite of the images that I took as the moon covered the sun. The moon took the first bite out of the lower left of the sun's disk and the images proceed clockwise around to the bottom with my totality image in the center. The images then continue clockwise to the sun's disk with the small bite on the upper right.

The images were taken with Jupiter 37A lens. Time lapse interval is 3 minutes between shots. I wanted to capture more phases, but cloudy skies interfered with my intentions. I believe that apparent different disk size is noticeable. The Super Moon was observed January 31 2018. The atmosphere affected the color rendition. Photoshop white balance is the same on all images.

Today, on the 2,775th anniversary of the Founding of Rome, it gives me great pleasure to announce the official launch of SPQR - Phase II!
Bursting forth from the northern edge of Phase I, Phase II will expand the historical diorama of 4th Century Imperial Rome in several crucial and exciting ways.
In topographical terms, Phase II will introduce two new hills of the fabled seven - the Quirinal & the Esquiline - on either end of its bidirectional tributaries.
Not to be mistaken for haphazard boundaries, the outlines of Phase II were once, in fact, major infrastructural corridors and are drawn along ancient roads and aqueducts. Far from forming a complete picture, these rugged boundaries emphasize the phasic approach to this entire project. QED.
The undulating hillsides between the two spurs will capture vast swaths of the Subura neighborhood, in all its sprawling, frenetic density.
There will, of course, be no shortage of monumental structures in Phase II! Included within its extents are the vividly polychrome Imperial Fora, Caracalla’s enormous Temple of Serapis, the Ludus Magna where gladiators trained beside the Colosseum, and no fewer than three imperial thermae complexes: the Baths of Titus, of Trajan and of Constantine.
While Phase II will add roughly 80% of the overall total land area depicted in the first phase, it is expected to match the 100,000 bricks used for the latter. What Phase II lacks in comparable surface area, it will more than make up for in volume due to the consistently higher elevations and corresponding substructure thickness.
Now, I must stress that none of this is a foregone conclusion. Victory loves hard work, but I continue to rely on your support to ensure my self-reliance as a one-man small business owner.
I humbly ask that you please consider supporting this unprecedented project by subscribing over on my Patreon page. No amount of support is too small. As I've expressed previously, it’s no exaggeration to say that subscriber-based platforms are virtually the only way to fund such long-term endeavors and to insulate the work from the fickle whims of big-tech algorithms.
But more importantly, it’s going to take a village to realize the fullest extents of this project. I can think of no better exhibition centerpiece than one which has been made possible through the generosity of so many.

This was fun to do! So I'll do my other dolls as well~ All of them are not as long as Zephii's LOL!
1. He arrived to me after a 4-month layaway via DDE! Blank & fresh resin!
2. I sent him off to AngelToast after having him home for only like 2 days! Then he came back and I was utterly IN LOVE.
3. Tried a black Crobi wig on him!
4. He went back to his wine wig and I also tried gray 12mm eyes on him.
5. Didn't like the gray on him so he went back to his brown eyes, but now they were 12mm!
6. Got him a beautiful dragon tattoo with the Kanji for "courage" painted by the amazing Vitta-Vera/Tsuminaki!
7. Sadly, Brink's eyeshadow was chipped, so I sent him back to AngelToast for repair! The only difference, really, is his eyebrows, they match his hair a bit more now :) 'cause she's amazing like that!
8. Got my boy some 12mm Mako eyes (IB-009)!
