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 😀
Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
How the other half die
Makes you wonder, wonder, wonder
Here come the man with the look in his eye
Fed on nothing but full of pride
Look at them go, look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live
Devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell
A place called hell
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
The devil…
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).
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

"I am an enemy of everything
My life is not for sale
My heart is in this fight forever
What can you take from me?
When there's not a single fucking day
I haven't fought to stay alive?
We're finding hope in the hopeless
I am still their voice that gets stuck in your head
I am me
And I have come to fucking scare you to death
Because that's what you deserve you disgusting piece of shit.
I know the only words that you have for me
Are give up and get out
You'd like to think that we've been beaten
But we're here to stay
Forever and always"
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.

A quick stop yesterday to check out the Devil's Slide. No line for this ride.

Geologic Wonders - The Devil's Slide
The Devil‘s Slide is one of the more unusual natural form-ations along the wall of Weber Canyon, in Utah. There, two limestone layers, tilted to near vertical, rise 40 feet above the canyon wall with 25 feet separating them. Looking like a large playground slide fit only for the Devil, this site is a tilted remnant of sediments deposited in a sea that occupied Utah‘s distant geologic past. About 170 to 180 million years ago, a shallow sea originating from the north spread south and east over areas of what are now Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. This sea extend as far east as the present-day Colorado River and south into northern Arizona. Over millions of years, massive amounts of sediment accumulated and eventually formed layers of limestone and sandstone. In northern Utah, these rocks are know as the Twin Creeks Formation and are approximately 2700 feet thick. About 75 million years ago, folding and faulting during a mountain-building episode tilted the Twin Creek rock layers to a near-vertical position. Subsequent erosion of softer material has exposed the near vertical limestone layers and created Devil‘s Slide.

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.
Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia located in the locality of Warumungu about 105 km south of Tennant Creek, and 393 km north of Alice Springs. The Devils Marbles are of great cultural and spiritual significance to the Aboriginal traditional owners of the land, and the reserve protects one of the oldest religious sites in the world as well as the natural rock formations found there.
Seaford & District Dennis Trident SFZ 404 at Devils Dyke operating on service 77 having just completed its first trip. This bus was new to Brighton & Hove as T819 RFG. Back during it's B&H days this bus operated a lot on the 77 so it was great to be able to have it on this route.
Dusk at Devil's Garden, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah. During the minute-long exposure, I jumped up on some rocks and fired my flash with a peach-colored gel several times to light up the rocks in the background.
