Devils Tower National Monument
Wyoming
According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.

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."

After many stumbling ascents of the stiperstones (to no avail), this scene appeared as the rising sun lit up the early morning mists. View is from the 'devils chair' looking across the northern flank of the Longmynd towards the Wrekin,
"Devils Island Lighthouse" by Patti Deters. Devils Island Lighthouse is one of six lighthouses in the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, about 20 miles from Bayfield and is the farthest north of the 22 island archipelago. It was first lit in 1891 and is the only lighthouse in the Apostles group that still has its original Fresnel lens. The original architecture was a self-supporting 82-foot steel cylinder, but the high winds of its exposed location caused the tower to shake so badly that lightkeepers complained that the motion sometimes extinguished the lamp. In 1914, the Lighthouse Service reinforced the structure with external braces, giving the tall white tower the appearance we see today. The sea caves and cliffs on the island and under the lighthouse are some of the most alluring within the national lakeshore. Although Devils Island is relatively remote, its lighthouse is a popular destination for experienced boaters and sea kayakers who like to explore the cliffs, water-carved arches, vaulted chambers, and honeycombed passageways of the sea caves. Tour boats do not usually stop at Devils Island, but lake cruises offer excellent views of this historic navigational landmark as is seen in this vertical photograph taken with wispy clouds in the deep blue sky.

Shaped like a horseshoe, the Devil's Throat is the largest water curtain in the whole Iguazu Falls system and includes 14 waterfalls. It drops over 263' into a milky abyss that creates a permanent cloud of mist. On average, about 53,000 cubic feet of water flow every second (although it was most likely much more when we were there). - Information from www.CNN.com.
On the Argentinian side of the falls, we walked the length of an elevated catwalk to a lookout point resting on the edge of the Iguazu River. To see these magnificent waterfalls up close was an amazing - albeit wet - experience!
