Another shot of the Devils Marbles, Northern Territory Australia. These rock formations are quite amazing and are just off the Stuart Highway which run up central Australia. Love the rich colours up here and the blue sky.
The name probably came from the Anglo settlers later since the highest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area was originally named by the Spaniards as Mount Diablo. Why the devil? Well, turns out that the Spanish conquistadors were trying to capture the Volvon natives and the conquistadors were either bewildered or got lost in this mountain. So they called the mountain the devil and the name stuck until this day. Most indigenous people at the time was captured and relocated to the nearby Missions. There are still remnants of Native village sites that can be found in the nearby Morgan Territory.
After an eight hour mission, Louisiana based US Air Force Boeing B-52H Stratofortress 60-0059/LA - call-sign 'Doom 11' from the 96th 'Red Devils' Bomb Squadron flies short finals to land at RAF Fairford during their stay here in the UK.
Notice how the undercarriage is slightly 'canted' to cater for the slight cross-wind.
It's deceptive as the BUFF was actually coming straight at me as can be seen by the wheels being straight down the approach/runway centre-line but with the fuselage pointing towards the wind which was then blowing the exhaust sideways!

My previous uploads featured the view from the top deck of a bus at Devil’s Dyke in Sussex, some 711 feet (216m) above sea level. It seems only right to show the rest of the bus, so here it is: Seaford & District’s immaculate former Dublin Volvo Olympian / Alexander, P772 SWC. Having walked across the Downs from the top of Ditchling Beacon (even higher at 813 feet above sea level), a trip back down to Brighton seafront on an open-top Olympian was most welcome :-)
It's not showy, but is a new species for my prairie wildflowers species set. I only saw one of these plants so I was lucky to get this.

Finally got around to the Devil's Punchbowl photo portion of the 8/4/2019 Photo Tour. It was the last part - tide heading to its low point - and I was tired, and there were a lot of people clustered along the railing (limiting photo angles). Had to really modify all 3 photos to keep them in different ways. This one: saturation way up, center bright point moved a bunch towards the dark, exposure down a notch, shadows removed a lot.
Clathrus archeri is a striking species and reached Europe from Australia or New Zealand at the start of World War I (1914). Like the common stinkhorn and the dog stinkhorn, this fungus emerges from a partly buried white ball
The location is Devil's Speedway off West Side Road in Death Valley California. Just in back of the salt is Devil's Golf Course.
These were not my props.
