The Thorny Devil ou Moloch horridus est un petit reptile du desert australien. Une vingtaine de centimetre, et pèse entre 50 et 90gr en moyenne.
Ces épines que l'on peut voir sur son corps sont des excroissances écailleuses servant à eloigner les predateurs. Il consomme des fourmis. L'eau étant peu presente dans les régions où l'on peu les trouvés, ce reptile possède des rainures sur le corps conduisant l'eau captée par les pattes ou autre, jusqu'à sa bouche.
Devil’s Dyke, Wheathampstead is a massive ditch approximately 470m long and12m deep. It was constructed during the Iron Age and formed the main defences of the Catavelaunii tribe. It was probably where the British chieftain Cassivellaunus was defeated by Julius Caesar in 54 B.C.
The Devils Marbles is a large field of boulders in the central Australian desert of the Northern Territory. There is an overnight camping area and it is wonderful to experience sunset and sunrise amongst the huge stones. The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land's Aboriginal traditional owners.

One evening, while the master builder was sitting alone on the banks of the Serchio, looking at the work that was still to be done and thinking of the shame he would suffer for not having completed it on time, the devil appeared to him in the form of a respectable businessman. He approached the master builder and said he could finish the bridge in a single night-if the builder would promise him the soul of the first one who crossed the bridge when it was completed. The builder accepted the proposal.
The following day, the village had its beautiful bridge that can still be seen today near Borgo a Mozzano. The townspeople were astonished and delighted. When they went to congratulate the builder, he ordered them not to cross the bridge before sunset. Then, worried about his deal with the devil, he set off on his horse for Lucca to ask the bishop (who became Saint Frediano), for advice. This saintly man told him not to worry: he should let a pig cross the bridge first. That is just what the builder did. The devil, furious at having been tricked, threw himself into the waters of the Serchio and has not been seen in that area since.
Another from the Heceta Head session. This shot was taken while I was standing in the middle of Cape Creek.
