Took a road trip up north of us for a little day hiking. It was one of our few sunny days of late and there was a lot of color around the lake. We even spotted a flock of Cedar Waxwings picking berries off the trees! It certainly got crowded as the day wore on. Could be the last warm day we have for a while. Snow in the forecast!!!!!
After many stumbling ascents of the stiperstones (to no avail), this scene appeared as the rising sun lit up the early morning mists. View is from the 'devils chair' looking across the northern flank of the Longmynd towards the Wrekin,
Situated in the South Baraboo Range is a crystal clear spring fed lake called Devils Lake. Devils Lake sits in a narrow and steep gorge which geologists believe was cut by an ancient river (presumably a predecessor to the Wisconsin River). This river would have flowed through a gap North East of Baraboo WI (where the Baraboo River exits the North Baraboo Range), down through the current day Devils Lake, and then through the valley in the center of the image. This river exposed the underlying layers of a hard, pink rock called Baraboo Quartize. An Ice Age 15,000 years ago deposited layers of earth and rock which dammed the north and south entrances to the Devils Lake Gorge, effectively rerouting the Wisconsin River to the east through Merrimac. This gorge was then filled with spring water forming Devils Lake.
The gorge and former river valley gave the CNW an easy way to cross the South Baraboo Range. After crossing the Wisconsin River at Merrimac, the CNW climbed the former river valley to the south entrance of the Devils Lake Gorge. Once in the gorge, the CNW skirted Devils Lake before exiting the South Baraboo Range at the north entrance of Devils Lake. Luckily for the CNW, there was also an easy exit point for the North Baraboo Range by using Ableman's Gorge at Rock Springs WI (A decent map can be found here: pages.uwc.edu/keith.montgomery/baraboo/oblq.htm).
The pink Quartzite is very characteristic of the surrounding area. Ableman's Gorge, situated in the North Baraboo Range, is the location of the quarry which supplied CNW their famous "Pink Lady" ballast. Unfortunately, it seems that last year was the quarry's last year of producing ballast. Hopefully this isn't true, but the future looks bleak.
At one time, this line was the double track mainline of the CNW from Chicago-Twin Cities. However, the steeps grades and tunnels north of Reedsburg could not compete with the table flat profile of the Adams Cutoff from Milwaukee to Wyeville. Thus, in the 1980s this line was severed as a through route from Reedsburg-Camp Douglas (south of Wyeville). Up high on the West Bluff of the Devils Lake gorge we see L463 with WSOR 4007 and 4 cars. While this measly train is a far cry from the glory days, the Reedsburg Sub still sees 6 day a week service.
This picture is really funny. He was only finishing to yawn, but with his milk teeth, and his grimace, he was really looking like a little devil! ;)
Considered to be the most pristine of all rivers in Texas, Devils is truly a sight to be seen...
The crystal clear, caribbean green waters contrast starkly against a backdrop of West Texas Canyon Land. It is a place where drought resilient desert species co-mingle with water hungry riparian woodlands.
As the river flows primarily across vast expanses of private land, access is extremely limited. The Devils River State Natural Area is really one of the only points of public access and it is well off the beaten path... but well worth the effort to explore!
"I call'd the devil, and he came,
And with wonder his form did I closely scan;
He is not ugly, and is not lame,
But really a handsome and charming man."
(Heinrich Heine - German poet, 1797-1856)
I often come at dawn to the Ganges from Rabindranath Tagore Road.
Varanasi (Benaras) is still sleeping but sometimes I meet this young man working in his small shop fixing any kind of things.
At that time he is the only soul up there, he is shabbily dressed and dirty with grease so when he smiles to say hello it is a little as if the Devil's beauty passes through the darkness to welcome you even though I am sure he is a nice fellow...;)

The final destination on the Devil's Hall trail at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Well worth the hike to see this place!
Devils Hollow, a green space property managed by Allegheny Land Trust in the Pittsburgh area. Thank you!
Another shot taken with the fantastic plastic Kodak Powerflash disposable camera. I am finding this camera is best on cloudy days and really close up flash shots.

Another one from the Devils Marbles in the NT. About 100km south of Tennant Creek, on the Stuart Highway.
The devil's club (Oplopanax horridus) (what a wonderfully descriptive Latin name...!) are beginning to put forth buds on their growing tips. Fully 8-10 feet high, and growing densely in the Pacific temperate rainforest in along much of Alaska's coastline.
