The Legend of the Devil's Bridge
Once upon a time a clever and respected master builder lived in a village on the banks of the Serchio River. The inhabitants of the village approached him, asking him to build a bridge to connect their village with the one across the river. He immediately set to work, but he soon saw that the work was not progressing as quickly as he'd promised his fellow citizens it would, and being a man of his word and one who always fulfilled his obligations, he became very unhappy and desperate. He continued to put great effort into the work day and night so as to finish the task within the time allowed for in the contract, but the work continued to proceed very slowly while the days flew by. One evening while the builder was sitting alone on the banks of the Serchio looking at the work and thinking of the shame and discredit he would suffer for not having completed it in time, the devil appeared to him in the form of a respectable businessman.
He went straight up to the builder telling him that he'd be able to finish the bridge in a single night. The man didn't believe what the devil was saying, but listened anyway, and in the end accepted his proposal. Naturally the devil wanted something in return: the builder was to undertake to give him the soul of the first person that crossed the bridge when it was completed. The builder accepted and the following day the village had its beautiful bridge that can still be seen today in Borgo a Mozzano.
So yeah, It has been a while since I last posted something here.
I have been thinking of ideas that would be great and very imaginative for my collection of clones. At first I came up with this "dead" me and my soul is staring at me but that was to simple, I wanted something new, and very experimental. A friend of mine suggested that I should do something that was like coming out of my body, for example a head or something like "The Ring." With that basis of an idea, I started to create this image on my head, making it like the devil had done it.
Hope you like it, and enjoy.

Don't go out on Devil's Night.
Stay in your bed and keep on the light.
Little demons and ghouls have their fun all right,
outside on the streets this Devil's Night.
You don't want to know what mischief they cause.
On Halloween Eve they run without pause,
flying and laughing, and breaking the laws,
you really don't want to see the mischief they've caused.
Please heed my words, stay under the covers,
and tell your friends and your sisters, and of course your brothers.
Stay in bed, don't even peek through the shutters,
'cause a goblin or ghost may spook you to stutters.
Just wait until daybreak on Halloween Day,
when you know all the ghouls and ghosts are away.
They hate the daylight, "it's no fun," they say.
So just please, please wait to Trick or Treat on Halloween Day.

Yes, it's tacky, but it was a request.

To draw attention to the plight of the Tasmanian devil I am going to be making a work a day throughout October inspired by Tasmanian Devils.
Tasmanian Devils population has declined by 90% in large areas of Tasmania due to Devil facial tumor disease. In November I will be taking part in the Garmin Point to Pinnacle; a 21.4km long and just over 1,270 meters in elevation run up Tasmania's Mount Wellington to raise money for The Devil Island Project (www.savethetasmaniandevil.org.au/) If you would like to sponsor me you can at this link> garmin-point
Approaching Devils Tower. If you stare at the tower for awhile, it looks like the clouds are drifting.

Mountain climbing is one of the most popular attractions of Devils Tower. It was first climbed on July 4, 1893 by ranchers William Rogers and Willard Ripley. They ascended by driving wooden pegs into cracks in the rock, which is still visible today. Fritz Wiessner free climbed his way up in 1937. In 1941 as part of a publicity stunt, George Hopkins parachuted his way atop Devils Tower. Unable to ascend, he was then trapped for six days before being rescued. Around 4000 people climb Devils Tower every year, one of the most popular spots in the United States.
The Devils Tower is sacred to the Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa, and many have strongly objected to what they see as desecration by climbers. Climbers have retorted that as Devils Tower is public land, they have every right to climb. A compromise has been reached, where there is a voluntary climbing ban enacted in June, when the tribes hold their ceremonies at Devils Tower. 85% of climbers honor the ban.

A tour around the island of Antigua ... starting and ending at Jolly Beach.
Devil's Bridge is a natural rock arch in eastern Antigua. It is located on the Atlantic coast at 17°6′1.7″N 61°40′42.2″W, near Indian Town Point to the east of Willikies. The area around the arch features several natural blowholes which shoot up water and spray powered by waves from the Atlantic Ocean. This particular location is exposed to waves that are pushed by the Trade Winds with no land between here and Europe. Nearby popular local swimming spots such as Long Cove are sheltered by an offshore reef acts as a natural breakwater.

The devil's fork, Radio and TV antenna on the Mont-Royal. There is an interesting dichotomy between this structure and the other one on the mountain, the giant cross.
