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. Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife.
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.

The world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial, the devil has a thick-set, squat build, with a relatively large, broad head and short, thick tail. The fur is mostly or wholly black, but white markings often occur on the rump and chest. Body size also varies greatly, depending on the diet and habitat. Adult males are usually larger than adult females. Large males weigh up to 12 kg, and stand about 30 cm high at the shoulder.
Distribution
Devils once occurred on mainland Australia, with fossils having been found widely. Today, however the devil is only found in Tasmania. It is believed the devil became extinct on the mainland some 600 years ago -- before European settlement of the continent. The dingo, which was brought into Australia by Aboriginal people, is believed to have ousted the devil from the mainland.
Today, devils are found in some north, east and central districts where some farming practices (e.g. rangeland sheep grazing) provide much carrion. Tasmanian devils may be seen in many rural and wilderness areas by slowly driving at night along secondary roads. Devils may be seen at the Narawntapu National Park, Mt. William National Park, Cradle Mt. National Park, the Arthur River and highland lakes area. Look for them a few hour hours after sunset.
Habitat
Devils are widespread in Tasmania from the coast to the mountains. They live in coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest, and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest -- in fact, almost anywhere they can hide and find shelter by day, and find food at night.
Breeding
Devils usually mate in March, and the young are born in April. Gestation is 21 days. More young are born than can be accommodated in the mother's backward-opening pouch, which has 4 teats. Although 4 pouch young sometimes survive, the average number is 2 or 3. Each young, firmly attached to a teat, is carried in the pouch for about 4 months. After this time the young start venturing out of the pouch and are then left in a simple den - often a hollow log. Young are weaned at 5 or 6 months of age, and are thought to have left the mother and be living alone in the bush by late December. They probably start breeding at the end of their second year. Longevity is up to 7-8 years
Diet
The devil is mainly a scavenger and feeds on whatever is available. Powerful jaws and teeth enable it to completely devour its prey -- bones, fur and all. Wallabies, and various small mammals and birds, are eaten -- either as carrion or prey. Reptiles, amphibians, insects and even sea squirts have been found in the stomachs of wild devils. Carcasses of sheep and cattle provide food in farming areas. Devils maintain bush and farm hygiene by cleaning up carcasses. This can help reduce the risk of blowfly strike to sheep by removing food for maggots.
Devils are famous for their rowdy communal feeding at carcasses -- the noise and displays being used to establish dominance amongst the pack.
Behaviour
Tasmanian devils are nocturnal scavengers
The devil is nocturnal (active after dark). During the day it usually hides in a den, or dense bush. It roams considerable distances --up to 16 km -- along well-defined trails in search of food. It usually ambles slowly with a characteristic gait but can gallop quickly with both hind feet together. Young devils are more agile however and can climb trees. Although not territorial, devils have a home range.
The famous gape or yawn of the devil that looks so threatening, can be misleading. This display is performed more from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Devils produce a strong odour when under stress, but when calm and relaxed they are not smelly. The devil makes a variety of fierce noises, from harsh coughs and snarls to high pitched screeches. A sharp sneeze is used as a challenge to other devils, and frequently comes before a fight. Many of these spectacular behaviours are bluff and part of a ritual to minimise harmful fighting when feeding communally at a large carcass.
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.
Finnich Glen itself is a short, 70ft steep glen, known as the Devil’s Pulpit, but the name was originally used to describe a circular green-topped rock inside.
According to local lore, the gorge was a secret meeting place for the ancient Druids.

One of the natural attractions in the Mammoth Lakes area of the Eastern Sierras in California is the national Monument called Devils Postpile formation. 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. A local brewery, the Mammoth Brewing Company, has come up with an excellent beer with the clever name of Devils Post Pale Ale. I stopped by the brewery's tasting room on our recent visit to the area, and after sampling the ale I bought a bottle to photograph, and to drink. Wast not, want not.
Strobist info: This is a do it yourself HDR composite of two separate images. The first image was lit with a 24 inch softbox behind the bottle to provide the rim lighting, with a black foam card, a little bigger than the bottle, acting as a gobo. The second shot was lit with two 24 inch softboxes, in front and on either side of the bottle, point at the center at a 45 degree angle. I then combined the two images in Photoshop, with the first shot providing the rim lighting and the second shot providing some detail of the front of the bottle. I used a YN560-II and a YN560, both in manual mode, in the softboxes, and they were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. If I had a 3rd softbox I could probably do it all in one shot, but I only had two.
I've been photographing beer bottles and labels from some time now, and I put the results in a set called (of all things) Beer. Here's a link to that set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157634466859967/
