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-pinnacle.everydayhero.com/au/Liz
Cross-bedded quartzite in the Precambrian of Wisconsin, USA.
The Baraboo Ranges of southern Wisconsin are dominated by a hard, erosion-resistant Precambrian metamorphic unit called the Baraboo Quartzite. These rocks were originally marine sandstones and have been subjected to metamorphism and structural folding. Original sedimentary structures are preserved, such as cross-bedding and ripple marks. Baraboo Quartzites vary in color from pinkish to dark reddish to grayish. During metamorphism, quartz overgrowths formed over the original quartz sand grains. Long-term, modern weathering can result in original sand grains being released.
This unit has economic significance - it has been quarried historically and in modern times. The quartzite is broken down into gravel-sized pieces for use as railroad ballast and erosion-control rip-rap.
The tilted layers shown above are cross-bedding, formed in a one-directional current by wind or water (in this case, water).
Stratigraphy: Baraboo Quartzite, upper Paleoproterozoic, ~1.7 Ga
Locality: Tumbled Rocks Trail, northwestern margin of Devil's Lake, Devil's Lake State Park, northern part of the South Range of the Baraboo Ranges, southeast of the town of Baraboo, eastern Sauk County, southern Wisconsin, USA (43° 25' 34.34" North, 89° 44' 06.56" West)
The Devil's Bathtub is a gorgeous lake located north of Lake Thomas Edison in the Sierra National Forest, California, at about 9,167 ft. elevation, reachable by a 4.5 mi. (tough) hike. Having said that, OMG, it's stunning! A must for a day trip if you're in the area.
Devils Tower National Monument is an laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains. It is near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base.
Devil's Tower was made famous years ago in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
This dish is a Sri Lankan favourite, however first time round and I overcooked the potatoes, I'm going to try and recook so I can take a better photo before posting.
Over in Sri Lanka this is made with maldive fish, but I've simply taken these out and swapped a few ingredients to make a vegetarian version of this simple yet spicy and not forgetting tasty dish!

Devil's Cornfield. Death Valley National Park, California. March 31, 2011. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Early morning light slants across the arrow weed plants of the Devil's Cornfield area of Death Valley National Park
For the record, while I have no evidence either way regarding the role of the devil in creating this terrain, there is definitely no corn growing in this field! The plant is known as "arrowweed" (or arroweed or arrow weed), and the tall shapes are apparently formed as the sand erodes from around the roots.
This spot is one of several in Death Valley that have been hard for me to see as photographs. (Other "challenges" include the Devil's Golf Course - which mostly looks like crusty, dried mud to me - and Salt Creek - which I've mostly visited at the times of day when the light hasn't been idea.) I came close once before with a closer view of the plants that revealed their actual color a bit more and which placed them in front of a backdrop of more distant barren mountains. This photograph certainly doesn't provide a strong center of visual interest, but I like the sense of the plants leading off into the distance, the angles of the blue shadows, and the contrasting warm colors of the plants in near golden-hour light.

Devil -- a sicilian marionette -- in my office. Linden wood. Never used in a show, now guards books in my office. (I bet he has read them all).

OK, in light of Katrina and all the this may seem small and irrelevant. but i had never seen one before.
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!
