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!
I was in front of mirror n saw my 4 side-teeth which are completely eligible for non-veg food, so I got the idea about "Devil" personality...
This huge caterpillar is native to our area and was found on the Philadelphia University campus. It has a striking teal green color with black spikes and two brown areas (front and back) to tell predators: LEAVE ME BE! It will become the six inch brown with orange spots Regal Moth (Cranshaw, 2008). A great website for more information is found at the University of Florida:http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/bfly/regal_moth.htm

Neunkirchen Am Brand: This is a strange fountain in a corner of this small village in the Bavaria region. There is a label below the arms in which advise people the water is not drinkable... of course not; it was Green!!!
As promised from yesterday's sneak peak. See if you can spot the climbers from yesterday's photo. Clouds had moved in at this time. But I have some much better photos of the tower with cloud filled blue skies in store for another day.
Near Kenora, Ontario, there is a narrow water channel in the Lake of the Woods, which is known as "Devil's Gap". Natives believe there are spirits which live within certain rocks at the lake, and this particular rock is one of the best-known of the spirit-rocks. In the late 1800's someone painted a face onto the rock, as a joke, and people have kept repainting the rock ever since then.

Tasmanian Devils are threatened with extinction due to a contagious cancer that has spread among the endemic population in Tasmania, Australia. Research projects have been hard at work trying to come up with a cure – a vaccine or medication – to combat the cancer, which causes horribly disfigurement of the face of the animals and is always fatal once contracted. The cancer is spread when the devils rub each others faces as part of a mating ritual. This Tasmanian Devil and the images you'll see in the other postings were photographed at a research institute where healthy animals from outside the affected regions they are being bred with those from affected areas to replenish the gene pool with, hopefully, individuals who are immune to the cancer.
Devils Tower rises above the surrounding grassland and Ponderosa pine forests like a rocky sentinel. Northern Plains tribes have worshipped near this remarkable geologic formation for thousands of years. Fur trappers, explorers, and settlers alike were awed by the tower's majesty. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt established Devils Tower as our nation's first national monument. Many have gazed at the Tower and wondered, "How did this amazing formation form?"
