During World War II the San Francisco Bay Area has been described as “a giant cannon aimed at the Pacific.” These concrete bunkers along Devil’s Slide (south of Pacifica along Highway 1) are all that remains of a long-retired guard to the western United States.
Devil's tower night shot. Looking for a close encounter. Moonless night. About 5 min. exposure at 3200 ISO and 2.8. I did have a close encounter when a deer suddenly stepped out from behind a bush about 5 feet in front of the camera calmly munching on the campground grass.
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!
Looking from the Upper Devil's Slide site (a little further N along the coastline & highway) towards Lower, aka Little Devil's Slide.
Little Devil's Slide has a very interesting history. While coastal erosion over the 60+ years since it was built has certainly had an effect, a man bought the grounds back in the 1960s or 1970s & leveled the terrain surrounding the structure, with the intent of building housing on the site!
At the Elizabethtown Downtown Cruise-in, one of the vehicles had this cute Tasmanian Devil sitting on the hood. I just had to capture this in a photo for the ANSH "a toy with teeth" hunt item.
There is also a larger Tasmanian Devil sitting behind the steering wheel!
Devil Falls is a 20' tall, two tiered waterfall on Finney Creek that finishes with a plunge into a gorgeous, deep pool of green water.
Okay, the weird part about Devil's Road. (Cossart Road in Chadds Ford, PA)
The trees in some areas all grow out away from the road. Supposedly, it is because the trees are trying to get away from the evil of the Cult House.
The Dark background,the abstract shpe of the smoke below and the witch-like-shape of the smoke opening its wings to fly tempted me to keep the title like that of a horror movie-The Devil's Den.
