Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Montana; the walls of the canyon rise 1,000 feet above the level of Bighorn Lake which extends approximately 60 miles through Montana and Wyoming. The lake was formed when the Yellowtail Dam was constructed across the Bighorn River in the mid-1960's.

Livingstone Island, Zambia
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls.
During the drier months of the year, May to October, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop.
Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.
You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls.

Devils Postpile National Monument is one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry. Located on a winding, narrow paved road about 13 miles east of Mammoth Lakes, California.

Lübeck - Moments
The legend of the devil and St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany, tells of a clever deception.
In the 13th century, workers building the church told the curious devil they were constructing a wine bar. Pleased with this idea, the devil offered to help. Upon discovering the truth, the enraged devil attempted to destroy the church with a boulder. A quick-thinking worker promised to build a tavern nearby, appeasing the devil.
The "Devil's Stone" still rests near the church, supposedly bearing the devil's claw marks. In 1999, a bronze statue of a cheerful devil was placed on the stone. The Ratskeller tavern, built across from the church, fulfills the promise made to the devil. This charming tale showcases the wit of Lübeck's people and adds a whimsical touch to the church's history.
We have just retuned from a week in the stunning Cairngorms, the weather wasn't great but we made the most of it none the less.
Here is one of the species of fungi we thought we may be a little late for. With some advice from a friend we managed to find a few specimens of this Devils Tooth, fortunately this one was still in good shape!
We then bumped into a very nice chap who turned out to be a local recorder of toothed fungi. He proceeded to show us dozens more specimens and half a dozen more species of toothed fungi. Unfortunately they had all gone their best but he invited us back up in the coming years and promised to show us around. He has also sent us an excellent guide he co-wrote to toothed fungi of the Cairngorms.
For this pinhole test I've taken three different views of a carved Tasmanian Devil outside the Wool Centre in Ross. Each were taken with the Nikon D850 and the Thingyfy pinhole adapter. I call this a test because I wanted to see how this object in deep shade would appear with the right exposure.
With a digital camera the aperture is set to the size of the pinhole which registers as f/0 in the camera. Focus is impossible because there is an unlimited depth of field, and it will be soft. In any case the viewfinder doesn't work. Manual exposure is required. One can then either set the ISO high (but this brings with it noise in the dark shadows), or on a tripod set a long exposure. I find the best results come from using 100 ISO as a base setting and then adjusting the exposure time to match the light. Pinhole is about hands on trial and error. But once you get a feel for the light conditions it is possible to make accurate guesses at exposure times and your biggest challenge will be framing the shot.
Once again the effect is not unlike that of a Holga toy camera or even some early Polaroids.

From my archives:
Devils Tower (Lakota: Matȟó Thípila ("Bear Lodge") or Ptehé Ǧí ("Brown Buffalo Horn") (Arapaho: Wox Niiinon) is an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres.
In recent years, about 1% of the Monument's 400,000 annual visitors climb Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.

Three other stones lie jut behind a fence off the field 100 feet away which appear on 19th Century Stukely drawings. It would be nice if the farmers put these back in place

Looking across Plymouth Sound is this stunning view of the South West Coastal Footpath. Added to the outstanding beauty is this stunning sunrise.
Setting my camera up with just a 3stop ND Grad to balance out the sky I took this shot.
Searching my photo library for another shot to post in my random series, I came across this forgotten shot of Devils Tower.
Devils Tower is a butte rising 1,267 ft. (386m) above the Belle Fourche River and standing 867 ft. (264m) from base to summit.
The impressive geological formation inspired President Theodore Roosevelt to establish it as the first National Monument in the U.S on Sept. 24, 1906. It is located in northeast Wyoming.
Devils have been successfully bred in South Australia and are being returned to the wild on off-shore islands in Tasmania, in an attempt to ensure that the terrible facial tumour is kept at bay.
Devil’s Slide Trail is a 1.3-mile multi-use trail, converted from a former segment of Highway 1, that gives hikers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians access the rocky heights of Devil’s Slide above the Pacific Ocean.
Devil’s Den is the name given to a ridge strewn with large boulders south of the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and about 500 yards west of Little Round Top on the Battle Of Gettysburg battlefield.
The origin of the name is uncertain. On July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, the area around Devil’s Den saw intense fighting as part of General Robert E. Lee’s flank attacks, when Lieutenant General James Longstreet’s Confederate corps attacked the divisions of Major General Daniel Sickles’ III Corps of the Army of the Potomac.
Some 5,500 Confederates from Major General John Bell Hood’s division ultimately captured Devil’s Den from 2,400 defenders drawn from Major General David Bell Birney’s division. It was one of the few Southern successes in that day’s fighting. Total casualty estimates are over 800 for the Union, more than 1,800 among the Confederates.

For my current work in progress, I'm attempting to model the landscape of Devil's Den at Gettysburg. I'm far enough along to know I'll have the parts, but I'm still adding new boulders and tweaking the ones that are already there. I started adding the shrubs and grasses, much more of that to come as well as about 5 trees on top of the hillside. I'll add a cannon or two as well, but the main thing is to start building an army to populate the scene.
This is for the Civil War collaborative project at Brickfair Va this year. I'm still not sure if I'll go, but the decision would be easier if I could find someone to share hotel costs with. If anyone attending BFVA would like a room-mate for the convention, please flickrmail me, and we can work out the details. Thanks!
Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi River, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the world's largest waterfalls, with a width of 5,604 ft. The region around it is inhabited by several species of plants and animals. Archaeology and oral history describe a long record of African knowledge of the site. Although known to some European geographers before the 19th century, Scottish missionary David Livingstone identified the falls in 1855, naming them Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria. Devil's Cataract, on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls, is the lowest of the five Falls, with a drop of 60m.
Today we went on a day trip to Devil's Lake in Baraboo Wisconsin. Here is the first of a series of photo to come from that day trip. This is a panoramic shot of the lake.

There is a temple in Bangkok that has never given me a positive vibe.
Every time I walk by, it always feels empty and dark.
Just outside the temple grounds, I came across this on the wall.
Let me know what you think—perhaps it’s just my imagination.
Love to hear what you see.
