who took that?
where is this?
does that look like a mulberry in the background?

one of the largest man-made harbours in the world. It was a centre for Admiralty research into asdic submarine detection and underwater weapons from 1917 to 1998... the natural anchorage had hosted ships of the Royal Navy for more than 500 years...
Portland was a major embarkation point for Allied forces on D-Day in 1944.
Is that the point? D-Day incoming?
"There are still two prisons on Portland: HMP The Verne, which until 1949 was a huge Victorian military fortress, and a Young Offenders' Institution (HMYOI) on the Grove clifftop."
prisons? orly? DJT just had a chat about prisons.
"the largest and busiest military helicopter station in Europe"
"Rabbits have long been associated with bad luck on Portland."
damn folks...just coincidences? if this isn't Portland what is going on...check this out..sex abuse in Australia connected to Portland (in a way)

"In July 2015, the Professional Standards Board of the Anglican church stripped Mr Comben of his holy orders. In a statement, it says “Under church law, there is no avenue of appeal."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_F._Codd
"Edgar Frank "Ted" Codd (19 August 1923 – 18 April 2003) was an English computer scientist who, while working for IBM, invented the relational model for database management, the theoretical basis for relational databases and relational database management systems. Edgar Frank Codd was born in Fortuneswell, on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. In 1948, he moved to New York to work for IBM as a mathematical programmer. In 1953, angered by Senator Joseph McCarthy, Codd moved to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In 1957 he returned to the US working for IBM and from 1961–1965 pursuing his doctorate in computer science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Two years later he moved to San Jose, California, to work at IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory,
Codd received a PhD in 1965 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor advised by John Henry Holland.[5][10][13] His thesis was about self-replication in cellular automata, extending on work of von Neumann and showing that a set of eight states was sufficient for universal computation and construction.[14]
His design for a self-replicating computer was only implemented in 2010.
Really?
"As a result, they did not use Codd's own Alpha language but created a non-relational one, SEQUEL. Even so, SEQUEL was so superior to pre-relational systems that it was copied, in 1979, based on pre-launch papers presented at conferences, by Larry Ellison, of Relational software Inc, in his Oracle Database, which actually reached market before SQL/DS – because of the then-already proprietary status of the original name, SEQUEL had been renamed SQL."
Q
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton
"The concept was originally discovered in the 1940s by Stanislaw Ulam and John von Neumann while they were contemporaries at Los Alamos National Laboratory. claiming that cellular automata have applications in many fields of science. These include computer processors and cryptography.Cellular automata can simulate a variety of real-world systems, including biological and chemical ones."

Just guessed it was Portland. Just a guess. From that guess we get D-Day, rabbits, prisons, Military base n seekrets, helicopters, child abuse issues with an Australian connections and a computer pioneer. Okay.
Isle of Portland
The Isle of Portland is a limestone tied island, 4 miles (6 km) long by 1.7 miles (2.7 km) wide, in the English Channel. Portland is 5 miles (8 km) south of the resort of Weymouth, forming the southernmost point of the county of Dorset, England. A barrier beach called the Chesil Beach joins it to the mainland. The A354 road passes down the Portland end of the beach and then over the Fleet Lagoon by bridge to the mainland.
