We have just retuned from a week in the stunning Cairngorms, the weather wasn't great but we made the most of it none the less.
Here is one of the species of fungi we thought we may be a little late for. With some advice from a friend we managed to find a few specimens of this Devils Tooth, fortunately this one was still in good shape!
We then bumped into a very nice chap who turned out to be a local recorder of toothed fungi. He proceeded to show us dozens more specimens and half a dozen more species of toothed fungi. Unfortunately they had all gone their best but he invited us back up in the coming years and promised to show us around. He has also sent us an excellent guide he co-wrote to toothed fungi of the Cairngorms.

For this pinhole test I've taken three different views of a carved Tasmanian Devil outside the Wool Centre in Ross. Each were taken with the Nikon D850 and the Thingyfy pinhole adapter. I call this a test because I wanted to see how this object in deep shade would appear with the right exposure.
With a digital camera the aperture is set to the size of the pinhole which registers as f/0 in the camera. Focus is impossible because there is an unlimited depth of field, and it will be soft. In any case the viewfinder doesn't work. Manual exposure is required. One can then either set the ISO high (but this brings with it noise in the dark shadows), or on a tripod set a long exposure. I find the best results come from using 100 ISO as a base setting and then adjusting the exposure time to match the light. Pinhole is about hands on trial and error. But once you get a feel for the light conditions it is possible to make accurate guesses at exposure times and your biggest challenge will be framing the shot.
Once again the effect is not unlike that of a Holga toy camera or even some early Polaroids.

Lübeck - Moments
The legend of the devil and St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany, tells of a clever deception.
In the 13th century, workers building the church told the curious devil they were constructing a wine bar. Pleased with this idea, the devil offered to help. Upon discovering the truth, the enraged devil attempted to destroy the church with a boulder. A quick-thinking worker promised to build a tavern nearby, appeasing the devil.
The "Devil's Stone" still rests near the church, supposedly bearing the devil's claw marks. In 1999, a bronze statue of a cheerful devil was placed on the stone. The Ratskeller tavern, built across from the church, fulfills the promise made to the devil. This charming tale showcases the wit of Lübeck's people and adds a whimsical touch to the church's history.

Seen at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Brighton, Tasmania. Most of the larger Tasmanian wildlife is nocturnal so they often end up on the wrong side of interactions with motor vehicles. If you call the Bonorong hotline they will pick up the injured animal, operate on it if necessary, nurse it back to health, and reintroduce it to the wild. At the time I visited they had about a dozen devils and probably 50 or 60 kangaroos. The kangaroos will come eat out of your hand, but the devil's are enclosed. While not actually very dangerous, they have very powerful jaws and can easily bite off a finger or two if they get the chance. Devils are not predatory for the most part but rely mainly on scavenging.

Devil’s Slide Trail is a 1.3-mile multi-use trail, converted from a former segment of Highway 1, that gives hikers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians access the rocky heights of Devil’s Slide above the Pacific Ocean.
The Devil’s bridge is an old ottoman bridge in Bulgaria which connected Thrace with Aegean Sea. It was built by a Bulgarian builder named Dimitar between 1515 and 1518 in order of sultan Selim I. The Bulgarian name of this bridge is “Дяволски мост” (Diavolski most – Devil’s bridge) and the Turkish name is Şeytan Köprüsü. Now this bridge isn’t close to any main roads and it is only a memory for old great times.
The Devil’s Bridge is located near the town of Ardino and the village of Dyadovtsi in the Rhodope mountains, southeastern Bulgaria. See the precise location.
The legend of the Devil’s bridge
Now let’s go back to the XVI century and our builder Dimitar. Until then all bridges built on that place had been destroyed by the rough Arda River and most of the people believed that this place had been cursed. But despite the curse Dimitar decided to try to make another bridge.
Thereupon the Devil appeared to our hero and offered him to reveal the secret for building the bridge. But the Devil had some requirements (the things with small letters in the contract): to inwall the shadow of his wife (that means that the wife will die soon after building the bridge, it is common story in Bulgarian legends), to build it in 40 days, and some other easy tasks like these. Anyway the most interesting requirement for us was that the Devil wanted his own image to be integrated in the bridge. But it was very complicated. He wanted to be both visible and invisible, both touchable and non-existing. If the builder could not do it, the Devil would take his soul as well. About the wife – she was a victim in any case, her soul was already taken.
But Dimitar was able to surprise even the Devil. He was ready in 40 days, the Satan had its requirements fulfilled and left with only one soul – the wife’s one. But his face was staying forever above Arda River thanks to Dimitar the builder. Thx to www.andrey-andreev.com/en/the-devils-bridge/
Searching my photo library for another shot to post in my random series, I came across this forgotten shot of Devils Tower.
Devils Tower is a butte rising 1,267 ft. (386m) above the Belle Fourche River and standing 867 ft. (264m) from base to summit.
The impressive geological formation inspired President Theodore Roosevelt to establish it as the first National Monument in the U.S on Sept. 24, 1906. It is located in northeast Wyoming.
I honestly couldn't decide which one I preferred, the colour or black and white, so I'm going to post both.
Looking across Plymouth Sound is this stunning view of the South West Coastal Footpath. Added to the outstanding beauty is this stunning sunrise.
Setting my camera up with just a 3stop ND Grad to balance out the sky I took this shot.
Devils have been successfully bred in South Australia and are being returned to the wild on off-shore islands in Tasmania, in an attempt to ensure that the terrible facial tumour is kept at bay.
For my current work in progress, I'm attempting to model the landscape of Devil's Den at Gettysburg. I'm far enough along to know I'll have the parts, but I'm still adding new boulders and tweaking the ones that are already there. I started adding the shrubs and grasses, much more of that to come as well as about 5 trees on top of the hillside. I'll add a cannon or two as well, but the main thing is to start building an army to populate the scene.
This is for the Civil War collaborative project at Brickfair Va this year. I'm still not sure if I'll go, but the decision would be easier if I could find someone to share hotel costs with. If anyone attending BFVA would like a room-mate for the convention, please flickrmail me, and we can work out the details. Thanks!
This wonderful old Juniper Pine is to be found along the Devils Garden trail in Arches National Park.
It's been a while since I last posted, and while I have plenty of photos from the summer I will focus on a more recent one. I took this at Devils River Campground, which is located just south of Green Bay. It's a very quiet and isolated spot that is worth a visit, just check in with the owners of the property before you go.
Also called Devil's walking stick, Oplopanax horridus. In some Pacific Northwest cultures, a piece of Devil's club hung over the doorway is said to ward off evil.

Established in 1911 by presidential proclamation, Devils Postpile National Monument protects and preserves the Devils Postpile formation, the 101-foot high Rainbow Falls, and pristine mountain scenery. The formation is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry.
Freeze-thaw cycles help break apart the columns. Earthquakes knock columns down into the talus slope below. But no force has left a greater footprint on the Postpile than that of glaciers. In fact, we wouldn’t even see the beautifully straight hexagonal columns hidden within the depths of the lava flow had glaciers not excavated the formation.
