Things are a little easier with my daughter at the moment and thank you for all your kind wishes. I hope to start catching up with you all very soon.
Yesterday I had the chance to go out to the Devil's Dyke near Brighton. The 300 ft deep V shaped valley in the South Downs was caused by melting snow waters forming rivers after the last ice age and it makes for an impressive sight and invigorating walking. If you look very carefully, you may see some of the dog walkers at the bottom of the valley.
The piece of concrete to the right is the remains of some long forgotten building, parts of which can be found scattered down the slopes and in the valley itself.
A quick stop yesterday to check out the Devil's Slide. No line for this ride.

Geologic Wonders - The Devil's Slide
The Devil‘s Slide is one of the more unusual natural form-ations along the wall of Weber Canyon, in Utah. There, two limestone layers, tilted to near vertical, rise 40 feet above the canyon wall with 25 feet separating them. Looking like a large playground slide fit only for the Devil, this site is a tilted remnant of sediments deposited in a sea that occupied Utah‘s distant geologic past. About 170 to 180 million years ago, a shallow sea originating from the north spread south and east over areas of what are now Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. This sea extend as far east as the present-day Colorado River and south into northern Arizona. Over millions of years, massive amounts of sediment accumulated and eventually formed layers of limestone and sandstone. In northern Utah, these rocks are know as the Twin Creeks Formation and are approximately 2700 feet thick. About 75 million years ago, folding and faulting during a mountain-building episode tilted the Twin Creek rock layers to a near-vertical position. Subsequent erosion of softer material has exposed the near vertical limestone layers and created Devil‘s Slide.

I had a lot of ideas for this MOC that all kinda fell through and blended into what you see here. I'm happy with what I came up with even if it's a bit unfocused.
With the mythical "Devil's Wall" (Teufelsmauer) standing proud in the landscape beyond, HSB 99 7243-1 drifts down the grade near Quarmbeck working service train 8962 09.59 Gernrode to Quedlinburg on 3rd March 2026. This former standard gauge alignment of today's metre gauge Selketalbahn has a higher permitted running speed of 50 km/h.

Sunrise at the Devils Jaw, Senja, Arctic Norway. Didnt quite get the light we hoped for that morning but I did like the reflections in this little pool.
Thanks for all your comments and favs....much appreciated.

The Devil thumb or Jodah thumb rock is about 140km from Dammam near the old town of Judah. The area consists of very interesting rock formations and gravel terrain and is a good place for off-road camping. Clicked while driving, good for me, there was no traffic :)
Aug. 7, 2022: The stern of the pirate ship "Devil's Gauntlet" in Ventura Harbor, Ventura, California. The tall ship, built in 1968, faced dismantling in 2018 when Daniel "Pirate Dan" Blevins Catalano purchased the vessel for one dollar. He completely rebuilt the tall ship. This summer, the "Devil's Gauntlet" is in Ventura Harbor, but there is no indication of public tours. 206/365
Silly inside picture this morning.. going to be a busy day :( and not sure Ill catch some fun Halloween Later lol
Seaford & District Dennis Trident SFZ 404 at Devils Dyke operating on service 77 having just completed its first trip. This bus was new to Brighton & Hove as T819 RFG. Back during it's B&H days this bus operated a lot on the 77 so it was great to be able to have it on this route.
I might be trying to get out of hibernation. Image of Devil's garden just before sundown.
These rock formation is sometimes called the four kings or the four wise men (not so very visible from this side).
Isn't this a cool road? This is one of the first photos I took with the Hasselblad. That's quite a camera eh? Amazing optics and sharpness. I can't quite figure it out because it's not like my Sony system is blurry. The feel is very…immediate, no?
This is actually quite a dangerous part of the road between Kingston and Queenstown, especially when it's raining… so if you are ever coming down here, be sure to drive carefully! Sometimes it's not your fault as there are a lot of Chinese tourists who are not that familiar with driving at all.

When we were inside this amazing ghost town in Namibia where the sand has overrun everything, I asked Bel, who was filming me at the time for Becoming an Artist, to make an evil shadow in the sand… and she instantly made some bad-ass devil horns! If you see one side of her looks a bit disfigured like she has gout or something — that is actually her sound-pack on her belt.

My wife and I waited to enter Devil's Tower National Monument for close to an hour and while the park was neat we both agreed that the views of the monument were much better from afar. Either way the area itself was very cool.
Standing up on Devil's Dyke this late afternoon, after a day in Brighton, the clement weather offers a window of opportunity over the South Downs. Three black cows graze unperturbed by the jocular banter from nearby walkers, as crows glide on the steady winds that rise up from the Weald below. The air is fresh and cold, but without the bitter chill. Snow drops can be seen in places, their white petals more closed than open, bobbing noticeably in the wind. In the distance, the sea glows golden under the rays of our dear star. Winter is slowly giving way to spring.
Hydnellum peckii. A wee jaunt to the ancient pine forests of Caledonia last week produced several specimens at two different sites. I didn't expect to come across these, but they were top of my wish list. Next time I hope to find them younger with the droplets on the top!
