Day 088 - 365/2023 - A Never-Ending Journey
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Aralia spinosa, commonly known as devil's walking stick. Nasty and invasive. Every part of this plant has spikes. The stalk here has hard and ripping sharp spikes, as do each leaf and flower. Spreads with underground root system and almost impossible to control. Fascinating plant though. Do wish it wasn't in the yard.
The three shot montage is a continuation of the stalk top to bottom. Diameter approx. 1.75" (45cm)
Devil's Dyke is a well known beauty spot on the South Downs near Brighton. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. There are two explanations of how it was formed. The first says it was created over 10,000 years ago by melt waters at the end of the last Ice Age. Nah, boring! The truth, of course (or, at least, the one I prefer), is that it was dug by the Devil, who wanted to drown all the people living in the area, by digging a trench through to the sea, because they were the last in the country to convert to Christianity and he was miffed at the thought of losing his only stronghold. He had boasted he could complete the work in one day, but was tricked into thinking it was already dawn (by someone with a candle and a cockerel ... really?), whereupon he abandoned the job and fled, humiliated, never to return. Oh, and he threw some of the earth down in disgust as he fled ... forming the Isle of Wight. So now you know. :)))
The people on the footpath give an idea of scale.

Devil @ Dublin
Brussels Airlines A320 OO-SNA in special red devils livery, operating special flight SN1061 from Brussels to Dublin with the football team aka Belgian Red Devils to play Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday 27th, full time score 2-2.
The aircraft overnighted at Dublin, returning the squad after the match, departing back to Brussels as SN1062.
Brussels Airlines are no strangers to amazing liveries.
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.
The thorny devil also features a spiny "false head" on the back of its neck, and the lizard presents this to potential predators by dipping its real head. The "false head" is made of soft tissue.[1] The females are larger than the males. The thorny dragon's scales are ridged, enabling the animal to collect water from any part of its body. That water is then conveyed to its mouth.[2] So to drink water, they touch water, usually with their limbs, and via the capillary principle, water is transported to the mouth through their skin.
Known for their outrageous flavor combinations and flamboyant decor, Devil Doughnuts is a local chain. They are quite popular with the local police.
I blogged about building this one here:

Finnich Glen near Drymen, sometimes known as the Devil's Pulpit, is a place you know you're going to get wet and dirty going into but you know it's going to be good.

“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli
Devil's Pool is a small (about 10x10ft) area of relatively calm water just at the edge of the Victoria Falls. I didn't know anything about it before going to Zambia. And when I knew about it, I had to have the experience.
It was one of the most awe inspiring experience ever! Imagine, only few ft away is 110 meter drop. Imagine all the roars and thunders of the falls. Imagine swimming there. Imagine the pull towards the edge.
(I had to sign a paper stating that I was totally aware of the danger to life and they were not responsible for anything)
Dyavolski Most (Devil’s Bridge) was built on a picturesque narrow gorge of Arda River in the beginning of the 15th century. It is located 35 km away from Kardzhali and 10 km away from Ardino. The bridge is part of an ancient road, which connected the Aegean Sea Coast with the inland of Thrace. A local legend says that one can see the devil’s step in one of the stones, which is probably where its name comes from. The bridge was proclaimed a monument of culture on 24th February 1984.
Natural sea arch known locally as Devil's Bridge on the Atlantic side of the northeast coast of Antigua. I used a ND darkening filter with f25 and 1/4 second exposure to blur the water in mid morning light. This was as close as I could get to the edge without splashing water spray on the lens, the waves come crashing all the way from Africa.
It's been a busy year for me. Luckily, I have time for vacation.
This was taken at Escalante, UT. I love this place, it's like a adult disneyland. I can imaging myself wondering around this place for months and never get tired of it. The truth is, no matter how long is your vacation, you still have to get back to realities and facing your duties. Even thought I'm back from this place but I never stop thinking about this places.
There's so many things that I want to accomplish this year and I just accomplish one - hit 5 different national parks this year.
thanks for viewing and have a great day. Hope to see you soon on Flickr ^__^
Littorina N°2 at the impressive 'Devil's Gate' location. The 85 years-old and half blind engine driver needed the help of an assistant but was still performing well with his engine. Built in the 1930's, the 'Littorinas' used to cover the Massawa to Asmara section in less than 4 hours (10 hours for the steam trains). March 2009
Back in the mid '50's, critics called rock and roll music the Devils Music and Elvis Presley just might be Satan himself. It now appears that Elvis is riding his Harley in heaven and is the angel of songs.
