A very special thanks to George Ligouri for saving these and making it possible for fans to own a piece of mask history.
As seen near the Santa Nella Anderson's Pea Soup. By calling out the fourth commandment as the sabbath day (and the references to Jesus), they want you to know that they are not Catholic. Nope. Never would have guessed that considering they are calling the pope the devil.
Lego mini figure 7: This devilish hockey player was once the best player until he died from a hockey puck to the head. Now he haunts the stadium scaring victims that he can get.
This is a reshoot of a couple days ago took it this morning. Still not real happy with it. What do you think?

Devils Cornfield, Morning. Death Valley National Park, California. March 31, 2011. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Low angle morning light silhouettes receding hills and plants near Devils Cornfield, Death Valley National Park.
Taking advantage of the low angle light from the sun as it rose above the Funeral Mountains, I shot almost directly into the light with a long lens to photograph these backlit plants ("arrowweed" I believe) growing along the fringes of the Devils Cornfield area not far from Stovepipe Wells. Although the compressed perspective from the relatively long focal length disguises the fact, I was shooting from a hill that gave me some elevation above the flat surface of the Valley here, and provided a bit better view of the tops of the hills receding into the haze.
I made a variation on this photograph at the same time that I posted earlier - it is in color and used an even longer focal length to get a bit more detail of the mesquite tree that is barely visible in the upper right area of this shot. The color image has a much less start appearance than the black and white rendition with its contrast between the light on the tops of the plants and the surrounding dark soil.

The famous three bridges at the village of Devil's Bridge in Ceridigion, Wales. The two stone bridges at the bottom and in the middle were finally superceded by an iron bridge in 1901. Close by are the Mynach Falls. There is, inevitably, a story about the bridges being the work of the Devil.

The Devil's Chimney is a limestone rock formation that stands above a disused quarry on Leckhampton Hill, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
It is named for its peculiar shape, that of a crooked and twisted chimney rising from the ground. It is a local landmark, but its origins are uncertain. In 1926 it survived an earthquake, but not without a few cracks. In 1985 it was repaired and protected from further erosion.
Legend holds that the Devil's Chimney is the chimney of the Devil's dwelling deep beneath the ground. Supposedly the Devil, provoked by the many Christian churches of the area, would sit atop Leckhampton Hill and hurl stones at Sunday churchgoers. However the stones were turned back on him, driving him beneath the ground and trapping him there so he could not further harass the villagers. Now he uses the mass of stones as his chimney to let free the smokes of hell.
In the past, when the “chimney” was accessible, visitors would leave a coin on top of the rock as payment to the Devil in exchange for his staying in his underground home and not leaving to create mischief and spread evil in the local area.
The 19th-century geologist S. Buckman suggested that the strange shape of the Devil's Chimney could be put down to differential erosion, involving the softer outer rock being worn away to leave only the inner harder rock remaining. However, this would require some explanation of why there was a column of harder rock there in the first place.
The truth is probably that the Devil's Chimney was left behind by 18th-century quarry workers, who quarried around it as a joke.

Take Devil's Staircase trekking and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Southern Plains. This famous route is a 14km long trail of sharp zig-zag twists that are extremely steep and difficult, but quite thrilling to travel.
