Orkney, islands off the Scottish northeast coast, are #Stormpunk to me. Meet Pelamis, the wave energy converter tested on grid here in the islands 2004-2007. Marine energy, from waves and tides, is all go in this part of the world, and has been for decades… Despite the news, the rising sea temperature, I see hope in this rusting storm-riding hulk of a future energy machine… #EMEC #Lyness

The view east from the slopes of Wee Fea on the island of Hoy in Orkney, taking in Lyness and, beyond it, Scapa Flow and the islands of Fara and Flotta. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/hoy/lyness/index.html

Looking only at grandparents and great grandparents in #1921Census so far but others on same pages eg Admiralty Dockyard workers in my #OnePlaceStudy in #Orkney. Wonder what people born in #Poplar #London made of #Lyness Orkney. #OnePlaceWednesday #1921CensusScotland
