Tintern Abbey from the 'Devil's Pulpit' - a small rocky outcrop that overlooks the abbey. According to local legend, the Devil used to preach from the outcrop and attempt to seduce the abbey's monks away from Christianity.
Devils Island is part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior in Ashland County, near the city of Bayfield and is the northernmost point in Wisconsin. First lit in 1901, the 80' white iron tower at the northern end of the island is topped with a third-order Fresnel lens and continues to this day to be an active aid to navigation. When it was first built the tower was a cylindrical tube, with short buttresses attached to its base. It was soon discovered that high winds caused the tower to shake violently, and the present exterior braces were put in place in 1914. Devils Island eventually became the last manned station in the Apostle Islands. This era finally ended in 1978 when the Devils Island Light was automated as well, marking the end of over a century of lightkeepers tending lights in the Apostle Islands. Devils Island is accessible only by boat and the station retains its fog signal building, oil houses and two brick Queen Anne keeper's dwellings.

As I was heading out to visit some areas we stopped at Devils Tower to grab a few shots. It had been raining a good amount so we kept moving but it was a cool sight to see.
Emerging Devil"s Fingers, New Forest, a new spot in the woods where these strange fungus are appearing this year .
We were able to see a couple of mountain lakes while in the Bend, Oregon area. This is Devil's Lake and we explored it for a few moments before going on to Sparks Lake.
When we took the first photos the sun was still setting but then I realized my wireless trigger had not worked because the range was too far, so we had to go back wait in line and the sun had already set. Thank god for Ai noise reduction.
Moloch Horridus, or thorny devil. Also called mountain devil although they live in sandy desert areas. Their sole diet is ants.
It's always such a damp place the Devil's Glen in Ashford, County WIcklow or maybe it only seems that way because I tend to go there when it's raining too heavily to go elsewhere in Wicklow. But its narrow valley and tree cover does help keep the heavy rain off although it can leave the air chilly. The abundance of water makes it very green and it's one of only a few deciduous woods in Wicklow - lots of hazelnuts in late summer. The path on the left brings you to an impassable waterfall, a fall of about 40ft, which is impressive to see.
In an effort to emulate the amazing photography of Igor Siwanowicz photo.net/photos/siwanowicz I posed my Devil Flower Mantis.

Devil's Club, Oplopanax horridus, grows in moist areas all over the Pacific Northwest. On occasion I have had to pull thorns of this plant from my hands. Often after returning home. Thorns break off easy and are sometimes below the skin level. Photo taken along, the around the lake trail at Lost Lake Oregon near Mount Hood.
Very cheeky mr. Devil but I make my own decisions here! Taken on my holiday. Holzmarkt, Berlin.

In 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt named Devils Tower the nation's first national monument.. It is the 867' high core of an igneous intrusion (magma which cooled underground) exposed from millions of years of erosion by the Belle Fourche river and the weather. The tower and base rise 1267' above the surrounding plain in the Black Hills, with the summit at 5114' above sea level. The dramatic ending of the 1978 movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was filmed at Devils Tower. About 5000 climbers from all over the world attempt to get to the top of the tower. It is a sacred place for the Lakota and other plains Indian tribes and there is a voluntary climbing ban in June, which most follow, out of respect for American Indian beliefs.
