Devils Tower National Monument June 09 - 1999
Devils Tower taken from the southwest side in the late afternoon sunlight.
When I lived in Seattle and would visit home in the 90's, or would visit Seattle from my hometown, many times I would stop at Devils Tower and do the loop hike around Devils Tower. On this trip I was on my way to visit Seattle, WA.

Finally after about two years I got my Nikon snanner to start working again. More coming.

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.

As I am trudging thru the jungle, sweat pouring off my face and onto my camouflage, balancing my heavy equipment …. Wait …. Wait …. Wait … This is insane, that’s not me; why would I be in the jungle without a rifle exposing myself to jaguars and panthers or worse, poisonous snakes and spiders? As I slowly awake from this nightmare (caused by sitting in the Adirondack for far too long without a refreshment in sight) I am aware of facing down this squirrel thru my long lens. Reflex takes over and I press the shutter button. And just remember, you saw it here first! Documented proof that squirrels like fruit. You all remember now that tomatoes are a fruit and not a vegetable. I am glad that I am a safe distance away and there is no way that I am tempted to fight this little warrior for the fruit of my wife’s labor. (oh that sentence is just chock-full of metaphors). I have it from someone who has firsthand experience with the viciousness of these creatures. So, the devil in me decides that this is really my wife’s problem and my primary concern should be to replenish my refreshments.
PS: please note how the reflections on the tomato match the reflections in the eye. That took weeks of planning and was quite difficult to visualize while the tomato was ripening. And you guys think I don’t plan my shots …
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.
The Devils Tower is a small sandstone mountain at the edge of the Elbe canyon in the Saxon Switzerland National park. One of the few mountains the can be seen facing south it seems to be quite a popular milky way spot. Although the light pollution from the nearby cities in the Czech Republic are quite bad nowadays.
The night was pretty short with the milky way only being fully visible from 00:30 to 02:30 - typical summer. About an hour driva and another hour hiking for each of the two directions resulted in a pretty slow office day yesterday.

Passing vehicles illuminated arrowweed as we shot the Milky Way. 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 and thus the area was named the Devil's Cornfield. 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 result in the name of arrowweed.
We visited a park called Devils@Cradle Mountain. We saw Tasmanian Devills and Quolls.
Tasmanian Devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world and, for their size, have one of the most powerful bites of any mammal!
Upset a Tasmanian Devil and you’ll quickly learn how it got its name. When threatened, this stocky marsupial is prone to bare its sharp teeth, lunge and growl. This is also part of a typical feeding-time display.
It was this late-night, ‘otherworldly’ howl, heard by early European settlers, which led to its common name.
Tasmanian Devils are the size of a small dog, weighing 4kg to 14kg, and standing about 30cm tall.
Devils have dark brown to black fur (sometimes with a hint of red-brown), with a large white stripe across their breast and the odd spot on their sides. Their faces are compact, with long whiskers, dark eyes and pink on the inner ears.
Like other marsupials, such as Antechinus, they store fat in their tails in times of plenty, to draw on when food is scarce.
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.
A dawn shot from the porch of the Lodge at Devil's Thumb Ranch, at 8,333 feet, on the western slope, near Tabernash, Colorado. DTR maintains miles of groomed trails for classic and skate cross country skiing, bicycling, and snowshoeing.
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 😀
I have driven past this tree on the way to Princetown from Yelverton countless times. Its down in a dip and on the edge of a marsh. I have always thought theres a photo there and this is my effort taken on a dull and flat day.

This is the 'Mountain Devil' protea. aka: 'Lambertia formosa'
Lambertia formosa, commonly known as 'Mountain Devil', is a shrub of the family Proteaceae, endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It was first described in 1798 by English botanist James Edward Smith.
This one was located along a forest trail in the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden, along Mona Vale Road, at St Ives Chase, in northern Sydney.
For information about 'Lambertia formosa' see the Australian Native Plants Society:

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.
Devils Postpile is an unusual landmark located near Mammoth Mountain in eastern California. The hexagonal columns are a result of volcanic activity
