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.
I think this is a devil scorpionfish rather than a stonefish.
Most of the time devil scorpionfish ( like stonefish) lie immobile and are so well camoflaged they are not easily noticed. They are ambush predators which lunge at passing fish and gulp them down.
If threatened they will erect a row of venomous spines along their back. (It seems the venom of the devil scorpionfish may be less painful and dangerous than that of the stonefish but I have no wish to test that out).

A Devil captured at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.
The devil is a Tasmanian icon. It is the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial and its famous toothy gape and spine-chilling screeches set it apart from other wildlife. Devils are nocturnal and live in coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest, and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest. Generally they shelter by day and find food at night. Notable scavengers, they roam considerable distances in their quest for food. Devils completely devour their prey and are famous for their rowdy communal feeding at carcasses. They eat a variety of insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The species is listed as endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and is wholly protected.

Photographed at Devils Garden in Arches National Park in Utah, USA. This park has a large number of weathered rock formations and many stone arches. In a spectacular and beautiful desert setting.
The Devil's Dipstick is a stinkhorn fungus that loves to grow in mulched wood chips. If you look closely you will notice many small Bird's Nest fungi surrounding the sinkhorn in the mulch. When the caps come off the bird's nests, you can see the eggs in the nest. See flic.kr/p/2kbotco

Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

Very cheeky mr. Devil but I make my own decisions here! Taken on my holiday. Holzmarkt, Berlin.

Perhaps it involves the hole in my right pocket. And perhaps it doesn't.
A little devil sitting outside St. Mary's Church in the Old Town of Lübeck. According to the infinite knowledge of the internet:
The statue sits on what is known as the "Devil's Stone" (Teufelsstein), a large slab located near St. Mary's Church. This bronze sculpture of the devil was created by local Lübeck sculptor Rolf Goerler and installed in 1999.
I was fortunate to get this shot as I was arrived at Devil's Tower ahead of schedule on my road trip from Seattle to Chicago. Due to lack of vacancy at the hotels in the area in part because of the Sturgis Biker Rally (which was incredible seeing so many riders on the many highways and by-ways), but I was even shut out due to a local Ham and Jam. With no where to stay I rolled into Devil's Tower about midnight, set up camp, and got up early the next day.
If you have a chance to visit, make sure to allow for a morning hike as I would imagine the mists are somewhat of a regular occurance in the A.M. Also, my hike was accompanying by a random flute player that I was told can also be found in the early morning hours.
