As soon as the weather starts to improve, the family head up for a stroll to the Devil's Dyke, an area of the South Downs steeped in legend and history. Today, the weather was weird. We started out with a clear, crisp sunset. Then the sea fog started to roll in. When we could no longer see ten feet in front of our faces, we deemed it time to pack up and come home.
We started the morning on the north side of Lassen Volcanic National Park in Old Station. After a huge bowl of oatmeal at JJ's Cafe, we headed to Subway Cave nearby--a lava tube that is open to the public. Make sure you bring a flashlight and a jacket as its pitch dark and 46 degrees inside! Getting there early ensured that we had the place entirely to ourselves.
From there, we drove around the backside of the park, stopping in Westwood before we headed to the Drakesbad Guest Ranch, from where we were scheduled to go on a horseback ride. Though the original plan was to go to Terminal Geyser (a 3 hour ride), some of the guests arrived late necessitating a change in plans. Instead, we went out to Devil's Kitchen, the park's second largest display of geothermal features and only a 2 hour ride.
After the ride and the short hike down into Devil's Kitchen, we soaked in the hot springs at the Guest Ranch while hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail stocked up on their supplies.
The day ended with a fabulous pizza at Tantardino's Pizzeria in Lake Almanor Peninsula.

This one is from 4th July road trip to South Dakota. It was a cloudy day, but it cleared just before the sunset. Was altogether a different experience watching this huge rock formation in golden colors on gray background. Something I'd never experienced. A must visit palce.

I hit the road today for a daylong photo shoot with my friend Darrell Robinson. Darrell pointed us in the direction of Devil's Falls a short way from the American River outside of Colfax. Darrell is a brave soul. He navigated us down a narrow eroded dirt road called Yankee Jim's Road with a steep drop on the canyon side of the road, across a 100 year old suspension bridge with a safety rating of 3/100, up a steep eroded grade through a canyon recently ravaged by forest fire and a monsoonal storm to this lovely waterfall. Did I tell you that I was driving. Here's a link to a beautiful photo that Darrell took of the upper portion of the this lovely waterfall for perspective. You'll notice the same rocks on the bottom of his photo that show up in my photo above.

The name probably came from the Anglo settlers later since the highest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area was originally named by the Spaniards as Mount Diablo. Why the devil? Well, turns out that the Spanish conquistadors were trying to capture the Volvon natives and the conquistadors were either bewildered or got lost in this mountain. So they called the mountain the devil and the name stuck until this day. Most indigenous people at the time was captured and relocated to the nearby Missions. There are still remnants of Native village sites that can be found in the nearby Morgan Territory.
My previous uploads featured the view from the top deck of a bus at Devil’s Dyke in Sussex, some 711 feet (216m) above sea level. It seems only right to show the rest of the bus, so here it is: Seaford & District’s immaculate former Dublin Volvo Olympian / Alexander, P772 SWC. Having walked across the Downs from the top of Ditchling Beacon (even higher at 813 feet above sea level), a trip back down to Brighton seafront on an open-top Olympian was most welcome :-)
It's not showy, but is a new species for my prairie wildflowers species set. I only saw one of these plants so I was lucky to get this.

Afternoon light warms the face of Devil's Tower, in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming, which rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain over the Belle Fourche River. It's summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devil's Tower was the first National Monument, established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906. The Lakota Indian names for the tower translate as "Bear Lodge," and "Brown Buffalo Horn." "Devil's Tower" is a mistranslation of the original Indian name. It came to national attention in the 1977 movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," when the aliens landed on it at the end of the movie.

Aralia spinosa, commonly known as devil's walking stick. Nasty and invasive. Every part of this plant has spikes. The stalk here has hard and ripping sharp spikes, as do each leaf and flower. Spreads with underground root system and almost impossible to control. Fascinating plant though. Do wish it wasn't in the yard.
The three shot montage is a continuation of the stalk top to bottom. Diameter approx. 1.75" (45cm)

Brussels Airlines are no strangers to amazing liveries.
Continuing my exploration of completely improbably modes of transportation, I bring you the Dust Devil.
Once small, high powered thruster technology became common, tuners started looking for ways to integrate them into racing. Highly illegal, and terrifyingly dangerous, the Dust Devil style of motorbike conversion quickly became the ride of choice for insatiable adrenaline junkies. The side to side instability of the bikes, combined with their tremendous speed makes them unsuitable for circuit racing. Drag racing however is another thing. Desert races are popular, despite the losers often left decorating the sand.
