This is at the same time a long and short report , about the traditional sacred and profane feast with pagan roots, called "u Ballu di Diavuli" (The Dance of the Devils) that I made this year on the afternoon of Easter in the Sicilian village of Prizzi (in the province of Palermo); this feast, which has medieval origins, is the representation of the eternal struggle of Evil (two Devils and Death) against the Good (Christ and the Virgin Mary). Devils wears a wool suit in red (the color of the fire of hell ...), also wearing a flashy iron mask with a big mouth adorned with big teeth and a lolling tongue, the mask is surmounted by two horns while the back is covered with a fleece of a goat that covers shoulders and back (a Devil has a black fleece, the other Devil a white fleece), and Devils shake pieces of iron chains which are agitated bumping against the masks; the Death wears a wool suit of yellow ocher, wearing a leather mask always yellow, which looks like a skull, from his mouth come out long teeth, it holds in its hands an "instrument of death" very similar to a medieval crossbow. The feast begins on Easter morning, Death along with the two devils (which have become even four, to involve as many passers-by) roam the streets of the town of Prizzi, engaging with the passers jokes and cajoling, passers are invited to dance with them at the sound of the well-paced band music. Often the two devils "capture the spirit" of a passer, which to be able to see his liberated soul .... must issue a small donation symbolic .... Nevertheless, the name of the Sicilian feast "the Dance of the Devils" originates from a very special time of the event, when the two statues of the Risen Christ and the Virgin Mary are in front each other of them to meet (U 'Ncontru): it is here, between the two statues, the two Devils and the Death staged a bustle of dancing, jumping, coaxing ... with the aim of preventing this meeting, but they will be slain by the swords of the Angels (Angels to guard the Risen Christ), so the Mother and her Son can meet, in a blaze of joy of the devotees, with the Good that has defeated the well forces of Evil ...
Thorny Devil - Dad managed to spot it on the road - it had been either hit by a car or the rush of wind as one passed, but it was dead.
I was playing with a polish i bought for my daughter. A friend wanted to see the color. Sorry, I did a crappy job.

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.
I noticed recently that the gates were open to the Devil's Slide Trail, so I decided to explore the area. For those of you not from California, Devil's Slide is the infamous part of Highway 1 known for closures due to landslides during the winter. Prior to the tunnel being built to bypass this section, I remember several white-knuckle drives, trying to keep my eyes on the road rather than think about the precipitous several-hundred-foot drop into the ocean, just a few feet to my side.
I spent an hour exploring the trail, which is basically the old road than runs parallel to the new tunnel. There are plenty of signs warning people to not climb on the dangerous cliffs, which are constantly eroding.
For this shot I ended up using my 18-55 mm kit lens because my 11-16mm Tokina lens was too wide. The 18-55 mm lens is a PITA to use with the Lee Filter System as the front of the lens rotates during focus and screws up the position of the attached rectangular filters. I was able to get this shot after some fumbling. I processed this shot as best as I could to replicate what the scene actually looked like, and surprisingly this is pretty darned closed to what I remember.
Single exposure with Lee 0.9S + 0.6S grad ND stacked and rotated approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise.
