The thorny devil also features a spiny "false head" on the back of its neck, and the lizard presents this to potential predators by dipping its real head. The "false head" is made of soft tissue.[1] The females are larger than the males. The thorny dragon's scales are ridged, enabling the animal to collect water from any part of its body. That water is then conveyed to its mouth.[2] So to drink water, they touch water, usually with their limbs, and via the capillary principle, water is transported to the mouth through their skin.

Datura stramonium, known by the common names thorn apple, jimsonweed or devil's snare, is a plant species in the nightshade family and Datura genus. Its likely origin was in Central America, and it has been introduced in many world regions. It is an aggressive invasive weed in temperate climates across the world.
“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli
From Plateau Point, a spur off the Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon, you can see the switchbacks of the Devil's Corkscrew winding down below the Great Unconformity on the way to the Colorado River. At the bottom, you can cross over the river on one of two suspension bridges, and camp at Phantom Ranch. View is roughly southward.
Tour the whole Grand Canyon in my Rafting the Colorado album.
Devil's Pool is a small (about 10x10ft) area of relatively calm water just at the edge of the Victoria Falls. I didn't know anything about it before going to Zambia. And when I knew about it, I had to have the experience.
It was one of the most awe inspiring experience ever! Imagine, only few ft away is 110 meter drop. Imagine all the roars and thunders of the falls. Imagine swimming there. Imagine the pull towards the edge.
(I had to sign a paper stating that I was totally aware of the danger to life and they were not responsible for anything)
Dyavolski Most (Devil’s Bridge) was built on a picturesque narrow gorge of Arda River in the beginning of the 15th century. It is located 35 km away from Kardzhali and 10 km away from Ardino. The bridge is part of an ancient road, which connected the Aegean Sea Coast with the inland of Thrace. A local legend says that one can see the devil’s step in one of the stones, which is probably where its name comes from. The bridge was proclaimed a monument of culture on 24th February 1984.
Devils Tower is a sacred place for Northern Plains Indian Tribes and the first official United States National Monument. Many may recognize the iconic image appearing in the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
It's been a busy year for me. Luckily, I have time for vacation.
This was taken at Escalante, UT. I love this place, it's like a adult disneyland. I can imaging myself wondering around this place for months and never get tired of it. The truth is, no matter how long is your vacation, you still have to get back to realities and facing your duties. Even thought I'm back from this place but I never stop thinking about this places.
There's so many things that I want to accomplish this year and I just accomplish one - hit 5 different national parks this year.
thanks for viewing and have a great day. Hope to see you soon on Flickr ^__^
This is a shot of "Devils Bridge" at Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria. People jump off of the bridge into the River Lune, this has now been made illegal following some fatal instances. I hope you like the shot. Please let me know if you do. Thanks and have a great weekend , Graham.
Here's some more information about the bridge:
Dating from around 1370 and constructed of fine gritstone ashlar. It has three spans, the western two measuring 54.75 feet (16.69 m) each and the eastern one 29 feet (8.8 m). The piers are hexagonal, measuring 60 feet (18 m) around.
A great flood will easily reach the base of the arches and run over the tops of the cutwaters. In common with many bridges of the same name, legend holds that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it. When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil. Several large stones in the surrounding area, including the Great Stone of Fourstones, are ascribed to the Devil's purse-strings bursting open as he ferried masonry to build it.
Back in the mid '50's, critics called rock and roll music the Devils Music and Elvis Presley just might be Satan himself. It now appears that Elvis is riding his Harley in heaven and is the angel of songs.

This must have been taken ( not by me ) shortly before they constructed a by-pass to take away this exciting but very dangerous steep hairpin bend., sometime in the mid 1960s. See also

EXPLORED!
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.

How did this Tower Form? Well, it's amazing! I've learned that the process began about 50 million years ago when Magma (molton rock) was injected into layers of sedimentary rock, forming the Tower one and one-half miles below the earth's surface. It has since taken millions of years to erode away the surrounding sedimentary rock to expose the Tower we see today!
I just got home late last night from a recent trip to the Badlands, Devil's Tower, and Mount Rushmore! I'm having a blast going through all my pictures!

This photo was taken on the beach behind the Best Western. Outer Banks Beach Kill Devil Hills NC. We always stay at the Best Western on the third or fifth floor. we usually try to get a Suite on the end. I have set up my gear on the balcony using the -Nikon d500 and 200 -500 mm f5.6 lens.
And have gotten some wonderful bird shots from the balcony. Hotel prices are half the costs doing off season months. Which my wife and I prefer we are more into nature -birding etc. Than we are soaking up sun on the beach.

Devils Bridge is a short walk from the Verandah in the St Philip Parish of Antigua. It has been formed by the sea eroding the rock from beneath creating an opening. It is said that people walking across the bridge have been caught out by the high splash coming through the opening hence its name.

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."
