To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
The bottom of the punchbowl's mostly woodland or open heath, but a boggy stream also cuts its way through

The devil is so called because of their aggression towards each other and their loud and harsh cry. They are endangered by disease. This photo was taken in a rescue centre, but I have also seen them in the wild.
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

Johnny and the Deathrays deliver the sort of ‘stake-through-the-heart’ bass thump that you’d normally experience during a Motorhead moment. This is seriously hardcore psychobilly and eminently worthy of any Meteors references that might be invoked when describing their sound.
Opening an eclectic free-Friday showcase night at Scream Lounge, the band might be opening proceedings, but they’re easily worthy of headlining and if you like your music raw and edgy this is one for you.
Gypsies are next up, and by rights a frame as skinny as this front-man sports shouldn’t be capable of the deep and guttural howls and yelps that pepper a set of authentic Balkan beats that blend seamlessly with some seriously funny songs. This is music that is clearly born out of conviction and passion…and if there’s a better cover of ‘hit me baby one more time’ in circulation I’ve yet to hear it.
Headliners Devil Cocks are – unsurprisingly – not a group of shy and retiring shoegazers. Their tongue-in-cheek punk posturing is in your face without being threatening, and whilst there’s an element of pantomime you can’t help but get swept along with the mood. What they do with that weasel might bring tears to your eyes though…
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!
The Devil's Bathtub is a gorgeous lake located north of Lake Thomas Edison in the Sierra National Forest, California, at about 9,167 ft. elevation, reachable by a 4.5 mi. (tough) hike. Having said that, OMG, it's stunning! A must for a day trip if you're in the area.

Devil's Cornfield. Death Valley National Park, California. March 31, 2011. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Early morning light slants across the arrow weed plants of the Devil's Cornfield area of Death Valley National Park
For the record, while I have no evidence either way regarding the role of the devil in creating this terrain, there is definitely no corn growing in this field! The plant is known as "arrowweed" (or arroweed or arrow weed), and the tall shapes are apparently formed as the sand erodes from around the roots.
This spot is one of several in Death Valley that have been hard for me to see as photographs. (Other "challenges" include the Devil's Golf Course - which mostly looks like crusty, dried mud to me - and Salt Creek - which I've mostly visited at the times of day when the light hasn't been idea.) I came close once before with a closer view of the plants that revealed their actual color a bit more and which placed them in front of a backdrop of more distant barren mountains. This photograph certainly doesn't provide a strong center of visual interest, but I like the sense of the plants leading off into the distance, the angles of the blue shadows, and the contrasting warm colors of the plants in near golden-hour light.
