Photographed at the Waiotapu Thermal area near Rotorua. The ground surrounding this sulphur pool had a very flakey look to it.
This "hollow way" follows the track of the "Devil's Causeway", the Roman road that ran from just north of Corbridge to Tweedmouth. The photograph shows the track just south of where it crosses the Hart Burn, a tributary of the river Wansbeck, at Hartburn village.
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!
This plant has leaves that may be 2 metres across, or more. They look safe enough, but the backs of the leaves have huge thorns that are about 2 cm. long. Hence, the name.

This wonderful contraption was ridding down the rack under brake control. The red sign reads: "Devil's Shingle. Used by RR employees 1870-1920 to descend from summit to base. Trip of 3 1/2 miles took less than 3 minutes. I'm not sure I fancy going downhill at 60mph+ on that!
These devils are just so cute. There were about 7 in this enclosure, and when I would clean it they would all hide from me. ;-(
Take Devil's Staircase trekking and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Southern Plains. This famous route is a 14km long trail of sharp zig-zag twists that are extremely steep and difficult, but quite thrilling to travel.

A very special thanks to George Ligouri for saving these and making it possible for fans to own a piece of mask history.

Situé entre Chaudfontaine et Ninane, le Pont du Diable se dessine à l'horizon sur sa colline, reliant deux promontoires boisés, dans un de ces sites étonnant qui compte parmi les grandes valeurs touristiques de la localité.
Sa construction bizarre remonte à une date indéterminée.
Voici au sujet de sa dénomination la légende que nous a racontée un vieux calidifontain qui la tenait déjà de son grand-père :
"Jadis les cultivateurs du hameau de Ninane et des hameaux environnants se rendaient à la ville en empruntant la vallée de la Vesdre qu'ils rejoignaient en descendant vers Chaudfontaine.
Toutefois, pour atteindre cette dernière localité, un seul chemin était accessible et au centre de ce chemin se dressait un pont rudimentaire qu'ils devaient emprunter. Or, un beau matin, à la stupéfaction générale, les paysans constatèrent que le pont en question s'était écroulé pendant la nuit.
Sa reconstruction, à l'époque, allait nécessiter plusieurs semaines de travail acharné et une nombreuse main-d'oeuvre. Après s'être lamenté toute la journée, et après examen de la situation, les paysans désespérés décidèrent, la nuit tombante, de rentrer chez eux.
C'est à cet instant même qu'une grande lueur se produisit et que dans un tourbillon de flammes apparu le Diable en personne.
A peine revenu de leur stupéfaction, les paysans tremblant de frayeur entendirent Satan leur proposer le marché suivant.
Si vous le désirez, dit-il, pour demain matin, ce pont sera reconstruit ! Toutefois, en compensation, je vous demande de me donner l'âme de la première créature qui franchira le nouveau pont.
Foncièrement chrétiens, les paysans refusèrent un tel marché.
... Les jours passèrent... les nuits passèrent... les finances baissèrent... et la misère commença à se faire jour.
Acculés par la faim, les paysans retournèrent près des ruines du pont et conclurent le marché proposé quelque temps auparavant par Satan.
Et le lendemain matin, lorsqu'ils découvrirent le pont reconstruit et Satan attendant, en triomphateur sa victime, ils se concertèrent.
On installa alors un grand sac à l'entrée du pont.
De ce sac, s'enfuit un magnifique bouc qui se précipita sur le pont et se jeta dans les bras du Diable qui, se voyant trompé, n'eut d'autre solution que de retourner en hurlant vers le feu éternel de son royaume maudit.
Voilà , telle qu'elle nous a été racontée, la légende de ce pont qui depuis lors s'appelle "LE PONT DU DIABLE".
When I was a kid, we had a cook book called "Miracles in the Kitchen" for kids, and there was a recipe in there how to make mushrooms out of eggs and tomatos. For my 31st birthday, I totally regressed and decided to make some stuff from that book. Except we updated the recipe and made the eggs devilled. YUM!

The Devil and The Barn (TDTB) is my 3rd annual solo exhibit at the CSC/Pascal's Coffee & Gallery in Gainesville, FL.
I plan on exhibiting over 50 pieces of art and quite a bit of photography by Lily O'Malley. Lily's photography documents the origin of this exhibit's art. Lily is a dear friend and a professional photographer up here in the panhandle of Florida. Lily has been my go-to-girl for photography of my art and has collaborated with me on projects like TDTB, the Dining with Rosetta project and various other stuff I seem to drag her into.
This exhibit, unlike the previous ones, extends out from the CSC Gallery to the web with extra photography and video documenting the pre-exhibit creative process dating back to November 2007.
Some pre-exhibit teaser photos and video and will be posted on Vimeo, MySpace, and Facebook November 1st for those who wanna peek before it is time.
The exhibit will launch at the CSC and online December 1, 2008.
