Devils Dyke, Sussex in May 2003 on a trip to see the Earl Marshall the Duke of Norfolk at Arundal Castle.
The senior Catholic in the country,controller of all regal seals symbols and coats of arms and and and and wait for this ...the past duke served in the Irish Guards with my dad....needless to say we didn't see the Duke that day.
During World War II the San Francisco Bay Area has been described as “a giant cannon aimed at the Pacific.” These concrete bunkers along Devil’s Slide (south of Pacifica along Highway 1) are all that remains of a long-retired guard to the western United States.
Devil's tower night shot. Looking for a close encounter. Moonless night. About 5 min. exposure at 3200 ISO and 2.8. I did have a close encounter when a deer suddenly stepped out from behind a bush about 5 feet in front of the camera calmly munching on the campground grass.
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!
American Indian legends tell of six Sioux girls who were picking flowers when they were chased by bears. Feeling sorry for them, the Great Spirit raised the ground beneath the girls. The bears tried to climb the rock, but fell off, leaving their scratch marks on the sides.
Another version tells of how two Sioux boys wandered far from their village when Mato the bear, a huge creature that had claws the size of teepee poles, spotted them, and wanted to eat them for breakfast. He was almost upon them when the boys prayed to Wakan Tanka the Creator to help them. They rose up on a huge rock, while Mato tried to get up from every side, leaving huge scratch marks as he did. Finally, he sauntered off, disappointed and discouraged. Wanblee, the eagle, helped the boys off the rock and back to their village.
Devils Tower National Monument, September 2003
As we were hiking around Devils Tower, we saw a group of climbers ascending Devils Tower. The view at the top must be spectacular.
Okay, the weird part about Devil's Road. (Cossart Road in Chadds Ford, PA)
The trees in some areas all grow out away from the road. Supposedly, it is because the trees are trying to get away from the evil of the Cult House.
April 13: Came across this small budded twig near the Staithe at Bungay. Nothing special you might say...but this has fallen from a black poplar. And what's so special about this tree, you may ask? Well tree lovers speak about it in reverential tones: John Constable, the famous English landscape artist, immortalised it in many of his paintings of the Suffolk countryside. It's a majestic tree, which likes to grow near water and can reach heights of up to 100ft. But because of its quirky pollination habits, it's becoming quite rare.
Its timber was much prized pre-industrial revolution, providing wood for a range of essentials from matches and match boxes to wooden clogs and fruit boxes.
These buds fell from a tree, near the Riverside Centre, which must be 70ft tall, and is covered in ivy. The buds reveal that it's a male poplar with crimson catkins; green female catkins ripen on separate trees. The buds are sometimes known as devil's fingers...and it's said to be unlucky to pick up fallen twigs. Oooh, I'm not superstitious but I feel compelled to return the twig from whence it came. Mustn't tempt fate!
