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 in Wyoming in the Northwestern edge of the Black hills. It is formed of igneous rock, the solidifed lava tube of an extinct volcano. It is considered holy sacred ground by Native Americans of the area. (primarily the Lakota and sioux tribes)
Started off in a place called Devils Dyke where I stepped in a ton of dog shit, then off to a pub in harpenden where i stunk out the place and round the streets. All in all a good time was had!
Devil's Gap is a Natural Pass through which the Northern Extensions Railway was built in 1875. To-day this natural rock-cut still in use by the CNR, can be seen from looking west from Highway 11, just south of the Muskoka Store, about 5 kilometers south of Gravenhurst.
(note: I'm on the road using a laptop with uncalibrated screen. I'm aware some of these appear over saturated on some devices but will rectify it when possible.)
It was such a hot day, maybe our last of summer who knows, but there was like a slight mist that sat on the Downs

Devil's Pulpit is a quartzite column separated by the greater quartzite ledges of Monument Mountain in Great Barrington. Rich with history and lore, Monument Mountain has inspired the likes of Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and William Cullen Bryant. Bryant's famed poem "Monument Mountain" tells the story of a Mohican woman who was memorialized by the 100+ foot spire after leaping from the adjacent cliffs.

I love deviled eggs. Today's recipe uses curry powder, toasted coconut, chutney, ginger, and cilantro.
Taken at a bike rally. Wish it were a little more clear. The smoke is from a biker in the backgroud doing a burnout.

The Devil's Beef Tub is a large, natural depression at the head of Annandale. It acquired its name as it was a place where the Borders reivers used to hide their stolen cattle.
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.
