Livingstone Island, Zambia
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls.
During the drier months of the year, May to October, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop.
Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.
You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls.
This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!

This is Devils Ditch on the Pegsdon Nature Reserve
3 Exposures at 1EV
This is my second proper attempt at HDR, in my first attempt I had problems with the foreground movement (flowers on a windy day) causing blur with the blended exposures.
The wind was less for this shot but still caused some blur in the foreground grass.
I tried the automatic alignment features in Photomatix and this improved the foreground but produced blur elsewhere in the shot.
So I blended both HDR conversions in Photoshop with a layer mask to help improve the sharpness.
Devil's Pulpit is a quartzite column separated by the greater quartzite ledges of Monument Mountain in Great Barrington. Rich with history and lore, Monument Mountain has inspired the likes of Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and William Cullen Bryant. Bryant's famed poem "Monument Mountain" tells the story of a Mohican woman who was memorialized by the 100+ foot spire after leaping from the adjacent cliffs.
The Trustees of Reservations has owned this site since 1899.
"Path" to the top of Großvaterfelsen (Grandfather Rock) on Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall) near Blankenburg in the Harz mountains, Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt), Germany.
---quotation from en.wikipedia.org:---
The Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall) is a rock formation made of hard sandstones of the Upper Cretaceous in the northern part of the Harz Foreland in central Germany. This wall of rock runs from Blankenburg (Harz) via Weddersleben and Rieder to Ballenstedt. The most prominent individual rocks of the Teufelsmauer have their own names. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben is also called the Adlersklippen ("Eagle Crags").
Many legends and myths have been woven in order to try to explain the unusual rock formation. It was placed under protection as early as 1833 and, in 1852, by the head of the district authority in order to prevent the much sought-after sandstone being carted away for the construction industry. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben has been protected sine 1935 as a nature reserve and is thus one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany.

Harz weekend August 2013.
I've been reading a lot of Jack Kirby lately. Specifically his 70's material that was "Edited, Written and Drawn by Jack Kirby"
Until recently, I'd only read bits and pieces of the material through random quarter bin finds and loner copies from friends. I've read bits of everything but never a full run of any of it.
Now over the next month or so, I'm gonna read all of it in it's entirety!
So far I've finished the 1st Fourth World Omnibus and the Devil Dinosaur collection.
So far, I'm much more affected than I thought I'd be. The way the random Fourth World concepts weave in and out of each other is fascinating to watch. One idea is tossed out randomly as another is forgotten all while keeping the entire thing moving along a hidden track. Knowing how quickly the material was produced amazes me too. It's like some sort of Free Jazz experiment done in comics form. I look forward to see what's to come.
Devil Dinosaur in all it's wackiness has some really nice moments and some fun ideas. Time travel, alien robots. dino riders, and a bible parable are served out in primordial glory.
Having read the entire 9 issue run of Devil Dinosaur I thought I'd see what I had come away with. The brotherhood between Moon-Boy and Devil is the main focus of the series and what I tried to convey here.
Expect Inks soon.

Devils Tower in Wyoming in the Northwestern edge of the Black hills. It is formed of igneous rock, the solidifed lava tube of an extinct volcano. It is considered holy sacred ground by Native Americans of the area. (primarily the Lakota and sioux tribes)

This is Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. 22 beautifully crafted islands in Lake Superior positioned off the coast of the Bayfield Peninsula in northern Wisconsin.
Centuries of wave action, freezing, and thawing have sculpted shorelines throughout Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Some of the Great Lakes’ most spectacular scenery occurs where these forces interact with sandstone of the Devils Island Formation to create extensive sea caves.
Nature has carved delicate arches, vaulted chambers, and honeycombed passageways into cliffs on the north shore of Devils Island, Swallow Point on Sand Island, and along the mainland near the Lakeshore’s western boundary. The sea caves is Superior’s ever-changing handiwork.
