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.
I encountered this male painted devil (Lacunicambarus ludovicianus) wandering a small urban seasonal wetland while I was searching for frogs to photograph. This was my first time seeing this Mississippi River floodplain native in such an urban area; the habitat is far less ideal than many other places I've seen them. Obviously it was enough for this adult crayfish to exist in.
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.
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.
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!
This wonderful old Juniper Pine is to be found along the Devils Garden trail in Arches National Park.

On my last evening of my trip through Zion and Bryce, we decided to head over to Escalante area and drop into this location for a possible sunrise shoot. Having shot sunset at Zion, we didn't arrive here until late at night, but when I looked outside I saw some good conditions for some star photography.
As my friend Jared was getting his photography gear together, I walked over and started looking at some of the trail signs around the area. Things along the lines of: "DANGER: Slot canyons can be very tight and you can get trapped in them", and other death warning signs. Then I look down and I see a logbook for people to sign in their times and locations. Being that it's dark outside, I can't see much of anything, so I start thinking to myself, what kind of place is this? I haven't seen signs like this when I have hiked into dangerous mountains and canyons with thousands of feet drops.
Fortunately it turned out that it was more of a precaution, because there was really nothing even remotely dangerous about the area. We set out in the dark and after a bit of wondering around, managed to find these beautiful rock formations. I could see the slight hint of the Milky Way just over the horizon, so I wanted to try and capture it if I could. Once we had our cameras setup, we used some CTO gels with our headlights to do some light painting. That part however took some time to fine tune the intensity and a nice even spread. I am pretty new to adding light painting to my night photography, so I would love some feedback.

Also called Devil's walking stick, Oplopanax horridus. In some Pacific Northwest cultures, a piece of Devil's club hung over the doorway is said to ward off evil.

Established in 1911 by presidential proclamation, Devils Postpile National Monument protects and preserves the Devils Postpile formation, the 101-foot high Rainbow Falls, and pristine mountain scenery. The formation is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry.
Freeze-thaw cycles help break apart the columns. Earthquakes knock columns down into the talus slope below. But no force has left a greater footprint on the Postpile than that of glaciers. In fact, we wouldn’t even see the beautifully straight hexagonal columns hidden within the depths of the lava flow had glaciers not excavated the formation.
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise

The hike to Devil's Bridge was quite steep, but we got a chance to rest and chat with others along the trail as we waited our turn to step out onto Devil's Bridge for the photo op.
A dust devil outside Tucson, Arizona.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon of a vertically oriented rotating column of wind. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.
Dust devils form when hot air near the surface rises quickly through a small pocket of cooler, low-pressure air above it. If conditions are just right, the air may begin to rotate. As the air rapidly rises, the column of hot air is stretched vertically, thereby moving mass closer to the axis of rotation, which causes intensification of the spinning effect by conservation of angular momentum. The secondary flow in the dust devil causes other hot air to speed horizontally inward to the bottom of the newly forming vortex. As more hot air rushes in toward the developing vortex to replace the air that is rising, the spinning effect becomes further intensified and self-sustaining. A dust devil, fully formed, is a funnel-like chimney through which hot air moves, both upwards and in a circle. As the hot air rises, it cools, loses its buoyancy and eventually ceases to rise. As it rises, it displaces air which descends outside the core of the vortex. This cool air returning acts as a balance against the spinning hot-air outer wall and keeps the system stable.
This bridge is situated in Czerna near Krzeszowice. It was build in 1671-1691.
Now it's only ruins. More information in Polish :

Nearly lost a bagful of camera accessories here as a hugely strong squall blew it into the stream just behind where I took this shot.
Taken at the edge of Llyn Idwal looking towards Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, North Wales at dusk..... such a beautiful place. Funny old thing but Paul Forgham never flinched as I went for a swim to catch my bag......... getting the shot before we lost the light being his priority - Priceless........ Cheers mate, I can still hear you laughing now!
Best seen large, thanks for your time folks.
Devils Postpile; a dark cliff of columnar basalt, the formation was created by a lava flow at some time less than 100,000 years ago.
Because of its great thickness, much of the mass of pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, which is why the columns are so long and so symmetrical. Columnar jointing occurs when certain types of lava contract while cooling.
This hike was a challenge for my hubby (still has a drop foot). So proud of my husband we are back up to 3 miles and pushing for more..Devils Den Falls is located in Alabama's Talladega National Forest and is a popular swimming hole for all ages..
The Devil's Tear are quite quiet in this photo. A peaceful romantic sunset at my favorite island: Nusa Lembongan. The Devil's Tear refers to the waves splashing and crashing against the rocks. Not this evening tho.
AKA Jimson Weed, Thorn Apple, Devil's Trumpet, and a lot more, a member of the nightshade family of plants. This is some sort of souped up hybrid but I bet it's still toxic. I also bet it's still invasive.
Descend down the 100ft gorge via the Devils Steps to the Devil's Pulpit. A circular red sandstone rock which was carved by the waters of the Carnock Burn.
In Outlander Finnich Glen was the location for St Ninians Spring, also know as Liar's Spring.
This is close to the entrance of Devils Arse. I kid you not! According to the information board, its the largest entrance chamber in the UK, no idle boast.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

Let's Travel the World!
I've spent the past decade exploring our world; and documenting the journey in photos and stories. For all the latest updates, follow along on:
Devil's Punchbowl State Natural Area, Otter Rock, Oregon. iPhone 7 Plus image, 30 second exposure using Average Camera Pro app, processed to Black and White using Nik Silver EFX Pro 2.
Every year, hundreds of climbers inch their way up Devil's Tower, clinging to the vertical cracks in the rock columns with their fingers and toes. From the ground they look like ants against the rock. To see two of them making their way up, use your cursor to look at the noted area, and view large. They're about 600 feet up. Tomorrow I'll have a close-up of the top climber. This was taken from the visitor center.
