On Devils Well Road near Elk City, OR is an overlook that you can get a great view of the coastal mountains and trains from. The Portland and Western's Toledo Hauler slowly rolls through the mountains on its way to Albany.

EXPLORED!
In the afternoon of our last day, we walked the rim of Victoria Falls, beginning at Devil's Cataract on one end. This small section of the falls is separated from the rest by Cataract Island, and has a drop of only 180 feet. It is also the weakest point in rock face of the falls, and has the lowest top edge. Eventually, over thousands of years, the water will wear it away and this section will become the main channel of the river as less goes over the rest of the current face.
Devil's Cataract is not the location of the "Devil's Pool," where people swim in a pool on the edge of the falls. The Devil's Pool is closer to the middle, adjacent to Livingstone Island.
The fence in the foreground is the only barrier between the path and the edge of the chasm. I always forget to post a shot for "Fence Friday," but I remembered today. HFF!
Blended from three exposures. See the note on the picture in Comments for the location of today's shot.
Taking over my mind, I hear the demon inside.
I feel it start to spread its wings.
A dead stare glossed over with pain,
The Devil and I are one in the same.

A great way to enjoy the magnificent Glen Coe is a hike over the Devils Staircase, a route that follows the old military road that once headed to Fort William. The trail is part of the West Highland Way and is a good walk for the less experienced and families. The Devils Staircase was given the name by the 400 soldiers who battled horrendous conditions to build it in the 17th century.

Steam devils or "arctic water spouts" formed over Cape Cod Bay on Friday when temperatures dove to 10 F (-12 C) in Brewster.
These form when relatively WARM air at the ocean's surface tries to rise rapidly through much cooler air above. As the air rises it rotates, creating these "steam devils" or "arctic water spouts."

Back in January, IC2466, the last remaining active "blue devil" made a few trips north along the old IC on CN G889. We'd figured it wouldn't be visible in daylight, though we'd later learn we were wrong, so my buddy and I shot it deep into the night, even though that's not such an easy task.
We finished our night far later than we should have, when G889 parked up at Tolono in the siding. The newly re-installed SafeTran signals, moved closer to the road last year, cast off quite the eerie red glow on the roadbed and locomotive alike. Turned a blue devil into more of a... normal devil, I guess. Call it a red one, for fun. A neat look anyway!
IC2466 was built as an LMS unit, sold to the CN after a few years of shared CN/CR leasing, and put into the IC number range. The last I heard of its whereabouts was that it was stored in Markham, though it may well be on its way to scrap by now.

Another version tells that two Sioux boys wandered far from their village when Mato the bear, a huge creature that had claws the size of tipi poles, spotted them, and wanted to eat them for breakfast. He was almost upon them when the boys prayed to Wakan Tanka the Creator to help them. They rose up on a huge rock, while Mato tried to get up from every side, leaving huge scratch marks as he did. Finally, he sauntered off, disappointed and discouraged. The bear came to rest east of the Black Hills at what is now Bear Butte. Wanblee, the eagle, helped the boys off the rock and back to their village.

Funny that so many geologic features are named after the bad guy. Just in Yellowstone, there's also a Devil's Kitchen also in Mammoth (as well as in Shell, Wyoming, see my photos thereof). Just north of the park, in Custer-Gallatin National Park, is Devil's Slide (which I think is a volcanic dike), and beyond, Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The list goes on!
n 1965, the French government transferred the responsibility for most of the islands to its newly founded Guiana Space Centre. The islands are under the trajectory of the space rockets launched from the Centre eastward, toward the sea (to geostationary orbit). They must be evacuated during each launch. The islands host a variety of measurement apparatus for space launches.
The CNES space agency, in association with other agencies, has restored buildings classified as historical monuments. Since tourism facilities have been added, the islands now receive more than 50,000 tourists each year
Devils Tower National Monument located in northeastern Wyoming bathed in late evening light. A really cool and unique geological formation, it was formed by an igneous intrusion that uplifted the overlaying sedimentary rock layers. Well worth the visit if you are making a trip through the area. This place is also sacred to the native tribes that inhabit the area, as is evidenced by the hundreds of prayer cloths they have placed around the base of the structure.
One of the most popular spots at Devil's Lake State Park, Devil's Doorway was created by the last Ice Age, 15,000 years ago. Although it is not life-risking to get to the doorway, like these two, it is a very treacherous hike up the bluff to get there.

A french devil tissue view (diablerie) from the 1870s.
It is believed that these pictures might have been a satire on Napoleon. An overt review of his government had been awkward and so many puns and satirical jokes were hidden within these views. Of course they are difficult to read.
Devils Falls is a twin waterfall on Yankee Jim's Rd between Foresthill and Colfax which runs over the American River.
In spite of being very busy with framing my upcoming show, I managed to process this guy from Devil's Churn.
Cape Perpetua really made an impression on me, when I visited it for the first time about a month ago. I feel like that in the few hours I was there I just scratched the surface of this fantastic section of coast.
The Devil's Garden trail in Utah's Arches National Park provides a lot of interesting redrock formations to explore, as well as several beautiful arches. This photograph is from a guided tour my sister and I took on May 31, 1989. Our guide was from the Canyonlands Field Institute.
