Devils Tower is a butte standing 1267 feet above the Belle Fourche River Valley in the Black Hills area of northeast Wyoming. It used to be buried, but erosion removed the softer rock around it, revealing this amazing formation. The tower became the nation's first National Monument in 1906.
The tower is a sacred place for several Native American tribes, and there are lots of legends about it. One story is that it was created by a giant bear that clawed grooves in the side of a mountain while chasing Indian maidens.

I think this place really deserves a monument status despite Devil's Postpile National Monument has stolen all the fame to the west of Mammoth Lakes. They were all resulted from the same volcanic eruption over hundred thousands years ago. Here 'a an extract from Atlas Obsura describing the process of creating such interesting column formation: "As the colossal torrents of lava washed over the built up ash it baked the ash to a layer of stone in an instant. Now after millennia of erosion from wind and water the bottom layer and the top layer of cooled lava can be clearly seen, taking the form of rocky waves bisected by a dividing line. In certain sections along the tuff, the stone has turned into bulbous columns known as degassing pipes creating a veritable forest of oddly shaped stone"
Devils Garden in Arches National Park is one of the premier locations in the park. Here you’ll find arches, spires, and a large concentration of narrow rock walls called “fins.” Fins form when rainwater erodes parallel fractures caused by the uplift of salt deposits below the surface. Fins eventually erode and give way to the formation of arches

Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (264 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,558 m) above sea level. (9/28/2024)

Thank you very much for your views, faves and comments!
An large space of common salt scoured by wind and rain into jagged spires. Therefore improbably saw-toothed that "only the devil may play golf on such rough links. Listen rigorously and you will hear feels like small pops and pings - the sound is virtually billions of small salt crystals detonating apart as they expand and accept the warmth.

The Pont del Diable is a medieval bridge crossing the river Llobregat connecting Martorell and Castellbisbal in Catalonia, Spain. It was constructed in 1283 on foundations of an older Roman bridge.
In the background the mountain of Montserrat is shrouded in cloud.
I'm not sure how I feel about this picture. I've tried to photograph this in a few ways and this is the best one. Of course, Tom and Zach have no problem eating them after I'm done!
Driving around on Senja during a chilly winter night with a full moon was absolutely magical. All spikey peaks were beautifully illuminated. Tungeneset is by far the most popular location on the island, it's actually the only spot where we saw other photographers during all the days we were there...
The mountain peaks in the distance, the Devil's Teeth, were nicely lit and a touch of auroras appeared, so we stopped as well and took some shots before we moved on to other locations. I generally don't prefer scenes that have been photographed tens of thousands of times already because there is so much more to explore, but here we go.
Though this might look kinda peaceful, it was icy cold and very windy (most shots didn't show the reflection at all). It was taken in the middle of the night, using ISO 500 only.

Death Valley is such an inhospitable place that early explorers named many features after the devil. These approximately 6-foot-tall clumps of arrowweed were perhaps mistaken in the shimmering heat for corn shocks left to dry after harvest. The incessant wind blows the sand away from the root of the arrowweed, leaving the plant on a pedestal of roots and dirt. The native Americans used the stems of the plant for arrows.

The Devil’s pulpit - ❤️ this place even though it spoiled my day as I slipped into the waterfall pool and lost my new phone
I think this frozen waterfall at Devil's Punchbowl looks like a wedding dress. Can't tell very well but this is a tall falls (37m or 121 ft). The falls is frozen from top to bottom creating an ice volcano. Near the top its cracked allowing water to escape down the sides. It was very cold standing there.
Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area is a state day use park on the central Oregon Coast in the United States. It is centered on a large bowl naturally carved in a rock headland which is partially open to the Pacific Ocean. Waves enter the bowl and often violently churn, swirl, and foam. Wikipedia

A 2 shot pano of Cwm Idwal looking over into the Devil's Kitchen. I really wanted a still calm lake but that was never going to happen!
