The Devil's Marbles are made of granite, which surfaces like a little geological island in the desert, surrounded by incredible amounts of sandstone. The granite is thought to be formed about 1.7 billion years ago as a result of the hardening of magma within the earth's crust. Thick layers of sandstone on top of it put a lot of pressure on this granite. After the folding of the earth's crust, which lead to the lifting of the granite, and the erosion of the sandstone the granite came to surface. The pressure was gone which caused the granite to be able to expand; cracks formed, and it fell apart in big, square blocks.
The second phase of the formation of the Marbles started when these blocks got exposed to water. The surface of the blocks began to decay under the influence of the water, and a layer of loose material surrounded the individual blocks. When they came to the surface completely, this layer was flushed away by water and blown away by wind.
The roundening of the granite blocks is a result of both chemical and mechanical weathering. Firstly, exfoliation plays a part. Chemical processes cause the surface of the blocks to expand and/or shrink. Thin layers of rock come off the boulder. This rounds the granite block, because the chemical processes have more effect on areas with edges. These processes cause the rock to look like it is made of layers like an onion. In effect, only the outer few centimeters are affected by chemical weathering. This process is called spheroidal weathering. Secondly, the boulders are suffering from solarisation. Because the temperature differences between day and night are so great, the rocks expand and shrink a little bit every 24 hours. This causes some rocks to crack, sometimes even splitting them in half.
The area is located near Wauchope, approximately 114km south of Tennant Creek, in the Northern Territory. The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land's Aboriginal traditional owners. The ‘Devil’s Marbles’ or ‘Karlu Karlu’ with its gigantic, rounded granite boulders, some spectacularly poised, is a remarkable landscape. Scattered clusters of these ‘marbles’ are spread across a wide, shallow valley. The Devil’s Marbles is a nationally and internationally recognised symbol of Australia’s outback
I met the devil two summers ago at a dairy operation just down the road from me. I didn't know she was the devil until I came home and looked at her image on my monitor---then I saw the 666! The devils number! Yipes!
I made this image with my Pentax K5 and my Pentax 18-135mm lens. Processing was with Aperture 3 and Snapseed for macs.
Camera settings: ISO 800, aperture f/11, shutter 1/320, focal length 135mm

Devil's Courthouse Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. I purposly exposed this shot for the cloudy sky which put the mountain into almost a silhouette. I thought the feature would still be recognizable. If you view large you can see two hikers standing on top of the overlook at middle edge left.

This native to India plant is toxic, most parts of the plant contain Alkaloids...
Taken on a particularily well-lit afternoon walk on Devils Peak - think it was the combination of late-afternoon sun and the brisk, clear air.
Livingstone Island, Zambia
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls.
During the drier months of the year, May to October, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop.
Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.
You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls.
Devils Hole", Jersey, Channel Islands
Following a shipwreck in 1851, when's a ship's figurehead washed up in the Devil's Hole, a statue of a devil adapted from the figurehead was set up above the Hole. The wooden statue was replaced by a succession of modern versions in the 20th century.
La zone est située près de Wauchope, environ 114 &100bsp; km au sud de Tennant Creek, dans le Territoire du Nord. Le site est connu comme Karlu Karlu aux propriétaires traditionnels aborigènes de la terre. L''Devils Marbles »ou« Karlu Karlu' avec sa gigantesque, arrondi rochers de granit, quelques spectaculaire prête, est un paysage remarquable. Épars grappes de ces «billes», y compris de nombreux équilibre entre les rochers , sont répartis sur une large vallée peu profonde. Les Devils Marbles est un symbole reconnu nationalement et internationalement de l'Outback australien.
