Devil's Tower at sunset, re-edit, Jan 2022

Upon seeing another image of this fascinating geological feature on Flickr today, I thought I'd try a re-edit of my scanned 35 mm slide from 2002 (amazing how those two decades flew by!). I had never heard of the Devil's Tower until - you guessed it - the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" came out in the late 70s. I loved the movie and thought it would be wonderful to see the tower at some point (even sans aliens). I was able to do just that in 1991 and 2002, on cross-country road trips. It is somewhat unimpressive from afar, as it looks like a little pimple in a huge, somewhat flat landscape, but up close it is full of personality and mystery.
