Devils Cornfield, Morning. Death Valley National Park, California. March 31, 2011. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Low angle morning light silhouettes receding hills and plants near Devils Cornfield, Death Valley National Park.
Taking advantage of the low angle light from the sun as it rose above the Funeral Mountains, I shot almost directly into the light with a long lens to photograph these backlit plants ("arrowweed" I believe) growing along the fringes of the Devils Cornfield area not far from Stovepipe Wells. Although the compressed perspective from the relatively long focal length disguises the fact, I was shooting from a hill that gave me some elevation above the flat surface of the Valley here, and provided a bit better view of the tops of the hills receding into the haze.
I made a variation on this photograph at the same time that I posted earlier - it is in color and used an even longer focal length to get a bit more detail of the mesquite tree that is barely visible in the upper right area of this shot. The color image has a much less start appearance than the black and white rendition with its contrast between the light on the tops of the plants and the surrounding dark soil.

Tasmanian Devils have some quite intriguing behaviour, what appears to be aggression is actually natural bonding and courting. When I took this photo it was almost frightening to hear all the Devils screaming and running around at night!
It's also unfortunately how a fatal disease is spread amongst them - the Tasmanian Facial Tumour Disease, discovered around 1996. Lots of work is being done to prevent it and keep the Devils alive, and I hope its successful - they're quite amazing creatures.

Tasmanian Devils are threatened with extinction due to a contagious cancer that has spread among the endemic population in Tasmania, Australia. Research projects have been hard at work trying to come up with a cure – a vaccine or medication – to combat the cancer, which causes horribly disfigurement of the face of the animals and is always fatal once contracted. The cancer is spread when the devils rub each others faces as part of a mating ritual. This Tasmanian Devil and the images you'll see in the other postings were photographed at a research institute where healthy animals from outside the affected regions they are being bred with those from affected areas to replenish the gene pool with, hopefully, individuals who are immune to the cancer.

Wall-mounted devils
These are made to be hung on a wall or door, placed to convey a suitable menace, and have a small hole on the back to take a finishing nail.
I’ve made them in a variety of earth tones, using several different types of clay and fired-on oxide finishes. The ones illustrated [l-r] are made from whitish, red, and “black” clay [actually a dark grey-purple]. Dimensions vary slightly, but they are approximately 160/135/65 mm h/w/d.
The famous three bridges at the village of Devil's Bridge in Ceridigion, Wales. The two stone bridges at the bottom and in the middle were finally superceded by an iron bridge in 1901. Close by are the Mynach Falls. There is, inevitably, a story about the bridges being the work of the Devil.
The Tower is an astounding geologic feature that protrudes out of the prairie surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by Northern Plains Indians and indigenous people. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest crack climbing areas in North America. Devils Tower entices us to learn more, explore more and define our place in the natural and cultural world.

On July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, the area around Devil’s Den saw intense fighting as part of General Robert E. Lee’s flank attacks, when Lieutenant General James Longstreet’s Confederate corps attacked the divisions of Major General Daniel Sickles’ III Corps of the Army of the Potomac. Some 5,500 Confederates from Major General John Bell Hood’s division ultimately captured Devil’s Den from 2,400 defenders drawn from Major General David Bell Birney’s division. It was one of the few Southern successes in that day’s fighting. Total casualty estimates are over 800 for the Union, more than 1,800 among the Confederates.
The tree behind the boulders is the last remaining witness to the blood spilled here.
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. ;-(
I've finally processed the rest of the Devil's Lake monochrome images I photographed back in April. I've uploaded several here, and the rest are in this set.
Formed by the glaciers 15,000 years ago, when they filled in both ends of a great river valley, Devil's Lake has always occupied a unique place in the Baraboo hills, its still waters surrounded by brooding 500-foot quartzite bluffs. The Indians called it Spirit Lake, and that seems a more accurate description than the modern name. Devil's Lake is one of Wisconsin's busiest state parks, and it tends to get overrun in the midsummer tourist season. But catch it in the off-season, and its brooding presence comes through. It does seem to be presided over by spirits. Black and white seems the best way to capture its haunted mystery photographically on days like this.
