Devils Tower National Monument

From the Black Hills Photo Shootout 2012. My first photo workshop. Beautiful, cool still morning with great skies. Clouds cleared up not much later and the afternoon was quite warm.

Shot at the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park

The rock arch known as Devil's Bridge was only a short walk from the entrance to Hammock Cove Resort & Spa, which is where we stayed for the week.

A train I had to shoot in the Guild's Lake Rail Yard. A bit hard to get a good shot because it was sandwiched by cars on either side. Sick writing!

Devil's Den - a chambered tomb on Clatford Down

♪♫

You look like an angel

Walk like an angel

Talk like an angel

But I got wise

You're the devil in disguise

Oh yes you are

The devil in disguise

 

You fooled me with your kisses

You cheated and you schemed

Heaven knows how you lied to me

You're not the way you seemed

 

You look like an angel

Walk like an angel

Talk like an angel

But I got wise

 

You're the devil in disguise

Oh yes you are

The devil in disguise

 

I thought that I was in heaven

But I was sure surprised

Heaven help me, I didn't see

The devil in your eyes

 

You look like an angel

Walk like an angel

Talk like an angel

 

But I got wise

You're the devil in disguise

Oh yes you are

The devil in disguise

 

You're the devil in disguise

Oh yes you are

The devil in disguise

Oh yes you are

The devil in disguise

I felt very sad for this poor little devil who was living alone in his enclosure. I also find it distressing that creatures who are unattractive have fewer ‘heroes’.

 

The world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial, the devil has a thick-set, squat build, with a relatively large, broad head and short, thick tail. The famous gape or yawn of the Tasmanian devil that looks so threatening, can be misleading. This display is performed more from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Tasmanian devils maintain bush and farm hygiene by cleaning up carcasses. This can help reduce the risk of blowfly strike to sheep by removing food for maggots.

 

Devils once occurred on mainland Australia, with fossils having been found widely. But it is believed the devil became extinct on the mainland some 400 years ago – before European settlement. Devils probably became extinct there due to increasing aridity and the spread of the dingo, which was prevented by Bass Strait from entering Tasmania. Today the devil is a Tasmanian icon.

 

Traditionally their numbers were controlled by food availability, competition with other devils and quolls, loss of habitat, persecution and roadkills. But the greatest recent threat to devils across Tasmania is the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) It is sweeping through Tasmania's devil population, killing more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 40-50% in medium-low density areas.

 

In May 2008, The Tasmanian devil’s status was formally upgraded to ‘endangered’ under Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. Meanwhile, the Federal Government has included the Tasmanian devil under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. They are wholly protected.

Devil's Bridge is a few miles outside of Sedona, AZ. I used to go to Sedona 4 times a year to hike the 4 seasons and this was always one of my favorite spots, albeit my heart was always in my throat when I walked across it.

Devils Tower, Eastern Wyoming

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!

Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming.

Rock, twisted and bent by extreme heat and pressure, leant the name for this national monument.
