The Devil's Arrows are three standing stones or menhirs in an alignment erected near where the A1 road now crosses the River Ure at Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire, England.
Erected in prehistoric times and distinctively grooved by millennia of rainfall, the tallest stone is 22 feet 6 inches in height making this the tallest menhir in the United Kingdom after the Rudston Monolith which is 25 feet tall.[1] The stones stand 150 feet from the A1 and it is thought that the alignment originally included up to five stones. One was apparently displaced during a failed 'treasure hunt' during the 18th century and later used as the base for a nearby bridge over a river. The stones are composed of millstone grit, the most likely source of which is Plumpton Rocks two miles south of Knaresborough and about nine miles from where the stones stand today.[2]
The outer stones are 200 and 370 feet away from the central stone and form an alignment that is almost straight, running NNW-SSE. It is thought that they may have been arranged to align with the southernmost summer moonrise. The stones are part of a wider Neolithic complex on the Ure-Swale plateau which incorporates the Thornborough Henges.

That's Philip [trailname=Fip] going over The Nose at Devil's Courthouse in western North Carolina, during one of our summertime expeditions in the Great Smoky Mountains. There were over thirty of us on this one. It was only a week-long but it included backpacking the Art Loeb Trail, rapelling at Devil's Courthouse and canoeing the French Broad River. There were three faces at The Courthouse: the 600-foot Tourist; the 800-foot Wall; and the 1000-foot Nose. We did all three faces. My favorite was the Nose. After going over the edge, there was about 150 feet of free-falling before touching rock again.
To draw attention to the plight of the Tasmanian devil I am going to be making a work a day throughout October inspired by Tasmanian Devils.
Tasmanian Devils population has declined by 90% in large areas of Tasmania due to Devil facial tumor disease. In November I will be taking part in the Garmin Point to Pinnacle; a 21.4km long and just over 1,270 meters in elevation run up Tasmania's Mount Wellington to raise money for The Devil Island Project (www.savethetasmaniandevil.org.au/) If you would like to sponsor me you can at this link> garmin-point-pinnacle.everydayhero.com/au/Liz
Inked by June at Tattoo City (Kuala Lumpur, MY) on 03MAR'12.
First tattoo and love it so much.
If you notice, both of my shoulder blade size/width is different, I think it's due to my numerous racket sports...or her skill's sucks?
Devils Wall.
This is the „Teufelsmauer“, a geologic oddity that can be found near the Harz mountains and near to my stay last weekend. I visited the place before, it's a strange landmark. Weather was great, bot so much the time I got there, but at least some landscape pictures.
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!
