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 upright slabs impaled into the floor — you can see one in the foreground down to the left, and another one, very long and tall, in the shadowy distance — were a not-entirely-helpful reminder of the fact that dozens of similar slabs, not yet fully detached from the ceiling, were always hanging above you and looking as though they were just ready to fall.
Then again, maybe they were helpful, since half of the fun of exploring the wet, empty, quiet cave was having to lean against my own reluctance — that is what it felt like as I pushed myself deeper and deeper inside. The trails of the state park on this wet weekday were empty, so I knew I was very likely alone; the sky was overcast; rain had been drizzling since the previous day, so that the outdoors were themselves rather dark; and bats, it turns out, will fly directly at your face until quite close, when they presumably decide that you are an obstacle worth dodging after all, and dart up and past you. And, again, there is the ceiling looking always ready to collapse. The effort of pushing first into the crevice in the hillside and then hundreds of feet further underground felt like practicing a very slight heroism, and so, for a guy at least, was vastly satisfying.
Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas, all in all, wound up being a real treat. I found it on a map when looking for somewhere to camp near I-40, and did not even pay attention when the description included caves, since the few caves I have seen before either require you to take a tour to see them, or are "real caves" that can only be entered with rappelling gear. I was on my morning hike when I came across the small sign on the trail that said "Devil's Den", with an arrow pointing into a narrow hole that, indeed, could be clamored into without anything more than a flashlight, and I realized I was going to get to explore a cave with no more difficulty than deciding to walk into the cold darkness.
And then having bats fly almost into my face, of course. But, again, that was half the fun.
I will have to return to Devil's Den sometime with knee pads and gloves, which they recommend for passing the obstacles halfway back into the cave that prevented me from making it all 550 feet into the hillside.
Caves are difficult to photograph. Several radio-linked remote flashes, positioned dramatically down through the cave, would have made this a much better photograph. If only I owned some — and, of course, were willing to carry them on a hike!
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.
Yep that's my new bride.. Sexy little devil.

Very cool natural feature on the Oregon coast, a big bowl with two natural arches (or are they bridges?) opening to the sea.
The thing is, unfortunately, almost completely inaccessible for pictures (cliffs, warning signs, state park personnel, too many people around) so these are the best I could do. It would have been nice to get down on top of the rock and get both openings in a single photo but that shot wasn't worth getting bagged for.
Devils Tower National Monument is an laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains. It is near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base.
Devil's Tower was made famous years ago in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
This dish is a Sri Lankan favourite, however first time round and I overcooked the potatoes, I'm going to try and recook so I can take a better photo before posting.
Over in Sri Lanka this is made with maldive fish, but I've simply taken these out and swapped a few ingredients to make a vegetarian version of this simple yet spicy and not forgetting tasty dish!

No holiday or potluck is complete without devilled eggs. They just are so easy to eat and absolutely delicious.
Every single deviled egg I have eaten has been slightly different, and I think that is one of my favorite things about them. They range from the plain mayo&mustard to pesto to bacon...
Daughter Sarah made the eggs.
Anytime the family gathers there will be Deviled Eggs, lots of them, and they all disappear.

I met the devil two summers ago at a dairy operation just down the road from me. I didn't know she was the devil until I came home and looked at her image on my monitor---then I saw the 666! The devils number! Yipes!
I made this image with my Pentax K5 and my Pentax 18-135mm lens. Processing was with Aperture 3 and Snapseed for macs.
Camera settings: ISO 800, aperture f/11, shutter 1/320, focal length 135mm
