Another image from that same roll of Fuji Reala.
I really don't understand how such a beautiful spot came to be named "Devil's Punchbowl". There does not seem to be anything particularly evil, malicious or even all that dangerous about this location. If anything it is a picturesque gem of a swimming hole. I had never done the "hike" (more of a walk) out to this spot before but as with any return trip I try to mix in at least one new destination. And while the temperature of the water dissuaded following up any notions of jumping in, the color of said water was enough to persuade us to sit here and linger awhile.

The devils were funny in how sometimes they looked like a big rat like this one. Other times like looked like a bear, or a pig or a dog. But their sounds are clearly devils sounds. Sadly they only live 6-7 years.
The Devil's Thumb is the rock tower on the Continental Divide, at 12,150 feet. It is a scenic climbing destinations, with views of both the eastern and western slopes, and a view of Devil's Thumb Lake, 1,000 feet below the summit of the tower.

Nestled between Stovepipe Wells and Beatty Junction along Highway 190, you'll discover the enigmatic Devil's Cornfield, just a stone's throw east of the Mesquite sand dunes. Here, the landscape is adorned with the distinctive presence of arrowweed (Pluchea sericea), an evergreen plant that weaves tales of its ancient use. Echoing its common name, this remarkable plant once served as the sturdy backbone for crafting arrows by Native Americans, adding a touch of history to the allure of this unique terrain.
Can there be anything special about a 1,267 feet 386 m high Rock in the landscape?
Some more information from wikipedia on Devils Tower National Monument :
Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge”) is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located 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 5,112 feet (1,558 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 (5.45 km2).
Tribes including the Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Lakota, and Shoshone had cultural and geographical ties to the monolith before European and early American immigrants reached Wyoming. Their names for the monolith include: Aloft on a Rock (Kiowa), Bear's House (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lair (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lodge (Cheyenne, Lakota), Bear's Lodge Butte (Lakota), Bear's Tipi (Arapaho, Cheyenne), Tree Rock (Kiowa), and Grizzly Bear Lodge (Lakota).
The name Devil's Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard Irving Dodge when his interpreter misinterpreted the name to mean Bad God's Tower. This was later shortened to the Devil's Tower.
Les Devils Marbles se présentent sous la forme d'énormes rochers de granit arrondis, éparpillés à travers une vaste vallée peu profonde, à 100 kilomètres au sud de Tennant Creek dans le Territoire du Nord.

These trees that had been pushed/pulled/blown over all had clumps of chalk stuck to their roots. They reminded me of burial mounds for some reason...
One of the earliest descriptions of Devils Kitchen, which involved a collapse event there, was retold by long-term resident Albert E. Thompson (1968), "My parents were living in Sedona in the early 1880s and heard the crash when the spot caved in. Mother said the dust from the cave-in filled the air all day and the sun looked like it was shining through heavy smoke. Her brother, Jim James, was the first one to see the new hole in the ground".
In late 1989, a second historic collapse event occurred at Devils Kitchen, enlarging the opening by as much as 1/3rd. The 1989 event was largely limited to the north wall, where a gigantic block, detached along three bounding walls from its caprock, rotated outward into the opening without dropping to a lower elevation. Edges of the newly broken rocks are highly angular and the surface soil has not yet begun to slough off.
Collapse of the southernmost wall of the sinkhole pre-dated historic collapse events and probably represents an early, formative event in the history of Devils Kitchen. In contrast to the fresh, angular appearance of historically broken blocks, blocks of the south wall display rounded edges and the surfaces carry a patina of manganese oxide that suggests open exposure over several hundred years.
The Devils Kitchen sinkhole is the most active of the seven sinkholes in Sedona. It has an opening 150 feet by 90 feet, with the floor situated 35 to 70 feet below the rim. Lindberg estimates that caverns in the Redwall Limestone, could have volumes on the order of 1.3 million cubic feet (a cave roughly 100 feet high and 130 feet in diameter).
This beautiful spot is called the Devil's Pulpit and is located in the heart of the Trossachs, it's a wee bit tricky to find and get down to but well worth the effort (be careful on the scramble down into the gorge if you decide to visit it yourself).
I took this standing in cold water almost up to my waist, madness perhaps but the composition seemed worth it to me at the time! Looking back, I think I was right 😀
They call this pool the Devil's Bath, located in Wai-O-Tapu in New Zealand. The color is the result of water mixing with sulphur and ferrous salts. The color changes quite a bit depending on the reflected light and cloud color. I really liked how it photographed with these menacing clouds.
#DoodlewashJanuary2021 Prompt: Cub. Lion cubs may look sweet, but I can tell you from experience that they are mischievous little devils! Did you know that all lactating females in a pride will suckle any of the cubs with no preference given to their own? Gouache on Hahnemühle hot press 'The Collection' Watercolor paper.

The plankton doesn't stand a chance.
Hundreds of devil rays approach at Tower Steps, Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar. (Burma). A magical moment!
Suria agreed to be photographed in this devil costume one more time just for Red Golden. Not quite as foul looking this time. (See the earlier photo below). She must be mellowing.
This devil penguin is made with polymer clay and is 1 inch (2.7cm) tall. He has red horns and a red tail.

Garganta del Diablo or Devils Throat. Its the main part of the falls. It creates an absurd amount of spray and falls a few hundred metres below.
The Argentinian side of the falls is said that you 'feel' it more. I would probably agree with that. The amount of spray and thunderous roar you get is astounding.
This was perhaps one of the hardest things to shoot this day. The amount of spray (you can see it on the left) was being blown over to the viewing platform. Thus making it a game of 'cat and mouse' protecting the camera and filters.
I was however lucky to snap this little beauty. Right before the park shut. A successful day.
Third time's a charm. After two not very successful attempts in the Badlands, mostly due to cloudy skies, I decided to move 160 miles NW where it was supposed to be even darker. When I got there in the early afternoon the sky didn't look promising and the weather forecast was reporting a severe thunderstorm warning with strong winds and golfball size hail... I went scouting the place anyway and eventually I was treated with a perfectly clear night.
