Staff's and Worcester Canal close to Stourton Junction not sure where the name comes from. Canal is overgrown with trees the sun was just lighting the rocks.
I love deviled eggs. Today's recipe uses curry powder, toasted coconut, chutney, ginger, and cilantro.

The Devil's Beef Tub is a large, natural depression at the head of Annandale. It acquired its name as it was a place where the Borders reivers used to hide their stolen cattle.
From the Black Hills Photo Shootout 2012. My first photo workshop. Beautiful, cool still morning with great skies. Clouds cleared up not much later and the afternoon was quite warm.
The rock arch known as Devil's Bridge was only a short walk from the entrance to Hammock Cove Resort & Spa, which is where we stayed for the week.

Devil's Postpile National Monument, CA
Weird facts: “A survey of 400 of the Postpile's columns found that 44.5% were 6-sided, 37.5% 5-sided, 9.5% 4-sided, 8.0% 7-sided, and 0.5% 3-sided. Compared with other examples of columnar jointing, the Postpile has more hexagonal columns.”
A train I had to shoot in the Guild's Lake Rail Yard. A bit hard to get a good shot because it was sandwiched by cars on either side. Sick writing!

I felt very sad for this poor little devil who was living alone in his enclosure. I also find it distressing that creatures who are unattractive have fewer ‘heroes’.
The world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial, the devil has a thick-set, squat build, with a relatively large, broad head and short, thick tail. The famous gape or yawn of the Tasmanian devil that looks so threatening, can be misleading. This display is performed more from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Tasmanian devils maintain bush and farm hygiene by cleaning up carcasses. This can help reduce the risk of blowfly strike to sheep by removing food for maggots.
Devils once occurred on mainland Australia, with fossils having been found widely. But it is believed the devil became extinct on the mainland some 400 years ago – before European settlement. Devils probably became extinct there due to increasing aridity and the spread of the dingo, which was prevented by Bass Strait from entering Tasmania. Today the devil is a Tasmanian icon.
Traditionally their numbers were controlled by food availability, competition with other devils and quolls, loss of habitat, persecution and roadkills. But the greatest recent threat to devils across Tasmania is the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) It is sweeping through Tasmania's devil population, killing more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 40-50% in medium-low density areas.
In May 2008, The Tasmanian devil’s status was formally upgraded to ‘endangered’ under Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. Meanwhile, the Federal Government has included the Tasmanian devil under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. They are wholly protected.

Saturday 13th of September, 2003 - A few miles further on down Highway 89, we came across this, lovingly known as "The Devils Slide", an enormous and not quite vertical cliff of sandstone and shale, which has bizzarely formed this narrow and very slippery slope in the rock.
I wish I'd been paying more attention to what the sign said about it and how it was formed and all that, as I can't remember now what the importance of it was, and seemingly neither can anyone else, as there's absolutely nothing about it on the internet either other than to say it's a cliff!
