- www.kevin-palmer.com - I've been to Devils Tower many times, but never in the fall. There are a variety of colorful trees growing next to the Belle Fourche River. I wandered around south of the campground trying to capture both the trees and the tower in the golden evening light.
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.
Just a half-mile west of Loveland, Colorado, this aptly named formation juts out of the ground and extends some miles to the north from US Hwy 34. The East side is a park, with trails that wind about for miles. The less often seen West side, which these photos are of, has been given over to residential development, though there are few houses right up next to the formation. For years, I always marveled at this natural structure, but never stopped to investigate, in a hurry to get to the beckoning mountains only a few miles from here. The last few times I've been through here, however, I've always stopped and hiked at least up to the "Keyhole" (the largest of many openings in the "wall"--one of which can be seen here). The forces that produced this formation also produced the "Garden of the Gods," Roxborough Park, and numerous other sandstone formation that parallel the Front Range of the Rockies.
Lol, for the shot I tried to guide this Devil's Coachhorse into position with a little twig, but it chose to run up it instead. It posed quite nicely, but briefly, before throwing itself off the end, landing on my hand, where it opened its mandibles wide. Oooer, down you go!

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.
Moloch Horridus, or thorny devil. Also called mountain devil although they live in sandy desert areas. Their sole diet is ants.
This crater is located in the Wai O Tapu thermal area just outside Rotorua on New Zealand’s North Island. The surreal colour of the hot water is caused by the presence of sulphur and ferrous salts.

My take on the Devil's Golfcourse. An often over-photographied piece of Death Valley landscape. This image is actually done almost entirely in-camera, including the red sky (with a filter).
Devil's Marbles, Northern Territory, Australia, is said to be the southern hemisphere's prime UFO landing pad!

The Devils Postpile in the Inyo National Forest, near Mammoth Lakes, CA.
The formation is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry.

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.
Chapman Falls, Devil's Hopyard State Park, East Haddam, Connecticut, USA
Chapman Falls is one of Connecticut's most beloved waterfalls, as well as the aesthetic centerpiece of Devil's Hopyard State Park in East Haddam. But how is a landscape photographer supposed to make an original statement at such a heavily-photographed landmark? In Devil's Coils, I let this whirlpool streak across the frame in broad arcs that guide us to the foot of the falls where the drifting foam is churned out of furious whitewater.

Devils Tower (also Bear Lodge Butte), Wyoming, USA, 1986.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt.
The phonolite tower is 1,267 feet high.
The moral theology of the devil starts out with the principle: “Pleasure is sin.” The he goes on to work it the other way: “All sin is pleasure.”
After that he points out that pleasure is practically unavoidable and that we have a natural tendency to do things that please us, from which he reasons that all our natural tendencies are evil and that our nature is evil in itself. And he leads us to the conclusion that no one can possibly avoid sin, since pleasure is inescapable.
After that, to make sure that no one will try to escape or avoid sin, he adds that what is unavoidable connot be a sin. Then the whole concept of sin is thrown out the window as irrelevant, and people decide that there is nothing left except to live for pleasure, and in that way pleasures that are naturally good become evil by de-ordination and lives are thrown away in unhappiness and sin.
Thomas Merton, The Moral Theology of the Devil
Devils Tower is a popular school outing.
