We started the morning on the north side of Lassen Volcanic National Park in Old Station. After a huge bowl of oatmeal at JJ's Cafe, we headed to Subway Cave nearby--a lava tube that is open to the public. Make sure you bring a flashlight and a jacket as its pitch dark and 46 degrees inside! Getting there early ensured that we had the place entirely to ourselves.
From there, we drove around the backside of the park, stopping in Westwood before we headed to the Drakesbad Guest Ranch, from where we were scheduled to go on a horseback ride. Though the original plan was to go to Terminal Geyser (a 3 hour ride), some of the guests arrived late necessitating a change in plans. Instead, we went out to Devil's Kitchen, the park's second largest display of geothermal features and only a 2 hour ride.
After the ride and the short hike down into Devil's Kitchen, we soaked in the hot springs at the Guest Ranch while hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail stocked up on their supplies.
The day ended with a fabulous pizza at Tantardino's Pizzeria in Lake Almanor Peninsula.

The above shot was taken in the Devil's Marbles Conservation Area during my trip to the Red Centre a few years ago. It is an amazing site with these boulders strewn across the otherwise flat landscape - perfect for capturing morning and evening light!
This one is from 4th July road trip to South Dakota. It was a cloudy day, but it cleared just before the sunset. Was altogether a different experience watching this huge rock formation in golden colors on gray background. Something I'd never experienced. A must visit palce.

I hit the road today for a daylong photo shoot with my friend Darrell Robinson. Darrell pointed us in the direction of Devil's Falls a short way from the American River outside of Colfax. Darrell is a brave soul. He navigated us down a narrow eroded dirt road called Yankee Jim's Road with a steep drop on the canyon side of the road, across a 100 year old suspension bridge with a safety rating of 3/100, up a steep eroded grade through a canyon recently ravaged by forest fire and a monsoonal storm to this lovely waterfall. Did I tell you that I was driving. Here's a link to a beautiful photo that Darrell took of the upper portion of the this lovely waterfall for perspective. You'll notice the same rocks on the bottom of his photo that show up in my photo above.

Rays of Sunshine Pour over the Idwal slabs and Glyder Fawr[999m] onto Llyn Idwal as we reach the final stages of our decent. Also Known as Devils Kitchen due to the cloud formations which can be seen here.
My previous uploads featured the view from the top deck of a bus at Devil’s Dyke in Sussex, some 711 feet (216m) above sea level. It seems only right to show the rest of the bus, so here it is: Seaford & District’s immaculate former Dublin Volvo Olympian / Alexander, P772 SWC. Having walked across the Downs from the top of Ditchling Beacon (even higher at 813 feet above sea level), a trip back down to Brighton seafront on an open-top Olympian was most welcome :-)
Afternoon light warms the face of Devil's Tower, in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming, which rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain over the Belle Fourche River. It's summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devil's Tower was the first National Monument, established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906. The Lakota Indian names for the tower translate as "Bear Lodge," and "Brown Buffalo Horn." "Devil's Tower" is a mistranslation of the original Indian name. It came to national attention in the 1977 movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," when the aliens landed on it at the end of the movie.

Devil's Dyke is a well known beauty spot on the South Downs near Brighton. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. There are two explanations of how it was formed. The first says it was created over 10,000 years ago by melt waters at the end of the last Ice Age. Nah, boring! The truth, of course (or, at least, the one I prefer), is that it was dug by the Devil, who wanted to drown all the people living in the area, by digging a trench through to the sea, because they were the last in the country to convert to Christianity and he was miffed at the thought of losing his only stronghold. He had boasted he could complete the work in one day, but was tricked into thinking it was already dawn (by someone with a candle and a cockerel ... really?), whereupon he abandoned the job and fled, humiliated, never to return. Oh, and he threw some of the earth down in disgust as he fled ... forming the Isle of Wight. So now you know. :)))
The people on the footpath give an idea of scale.
The name probably came from the Anglo settlers later since the highest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area was originally named by the Spaniards as Mount Diablo. Why the devil? Well, turns out that the Spanish conquistadors were trying to capture the Volvon natives and the conquistadors were either bewildered or got lost in this mountain. So they called the mountain the devil and the name stuck until this day. Most indigenous people at the time was captured and relocated to the nearby Missions. There are still remnants of Native village sites that can be found in the nearby Morgan Territory.
The location is Devil's Speedway off West Side Road in Death Valley California. Just in back of the salt is Devil's Golf Course.
These were not my props.
Known for their outrageous flavor combinations and flamboyant decor, Devil Doughnuts is a local chain. They are quite popular with the local police.
I blogged about building this one here:

Devil's Kitchen is one of the many natural wonders in the german region called "Dahner Felsenland" which means "Country of Rocks". This region is located in the southernmost part of the vast forrests of the "Pfälzer Wald" in Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany.
In this region, there are several beautiful rock formations, made up of sandstone. Many of the local castles are build on these rocks.
After all, I don't know why this rock is called "Devil's Kitchen". It might be for touristical reasons.... ;-)
