Devils Tower National Monument, a unique and striking geologic wonder steeped in Native American legend, is a modern-day national park and climbers' challenge. Devils Tower sits across the state line in northeast Wyoming. The Tower is a solitary, stump-shaped granite formation that looms 1,267 feet above the tree-lined Belle Fourche River Valley, like a skyscraper in the country. Once hidden below the earth’s surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing the Tower.
The two-square-mile park surrounding the tower was proclaimed the nation’s first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The park is covered with pine forests, woodlands, and grasslands. While visiting the park you are bound to see deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife. The mountain’s markings are the basis for Native American legend. One legend has it that a giant bear clawed the grooves into the mountainside while chasing several young Indian maidens. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. Devils Tower is also remembered as the movie location for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
The stone pillar is about 1,000 feet in diameter at the bottom and 275 feet at the top and that makes it the premier rock climbing challenge in the Black Hills. Hikers enjoy the Monument’s trails. The 1.25-mile Tower Trail encircles the base. This self-guided hike offers close-up views of the forest and wildlife, not to mention spectacular views of the Tower itself. The Red Beds Trail covers a much wider three-mile loop around the tower.

A Union Pacific DD35A locomotive leads an eastbound train, across the spectacular 275 ft. Devil's Gate steel girder/truss bridge which spans old US30S and the Weber River between Uintah and Mountain Green, Utah.
Before DPU was introduced, UP was known for very long locomotive consists. Nowadays such configurations became rare, but they are still possible. A nice 5x consist lead by AC4400 #6391 passed Devils Slide. With GP38 #531 even a standard cab unit was part of the story, unfortunately only in position five.
Dust Devils. Brilliant sunset and filtered dust kicked up from the arriving tram created a cool moody atmosphere last night just before heading home. Cool effect but kind of gritty dirty that I wasn't quite expecting....... ☺

BNSF 9039 leads a manifest down the Marshall Subdivision at Garretson, South Dakota and crossing a scenic spot over Devil's Gulch, the famed creek where Jesse James coaxed his horse to jump over the gap cut through quartzite while escaping the robbery in Northfield, Minnesota. The Great Northern similarly jumped over the Devil's Gulch with a clear view of the Split Rock River as seen below in the background.

Praise be to the Dark Lord for creating places like this... otherwise we humans would have nowhere to escape our nastiness.
I write this with a heavy heart. The last couple of years have found me with a progressively debilitating spinal column and joint problems. If it were just me, I would never ask, but I have 2 young daughters that look to me for support, so I have to swallow my pride...
If you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you.

From my visit to the Devil's Garden in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Devil's Garden is only reachable by car over a what we perceived as a long, horrible, bumpy dirt road. Unfortunately we couldn't stay over night, as our tents were set up at a campground far away from this location. I would have loved to shoot the stars over these rock formations. Oh well, maybe next time.
I'm in too deep
You're the fix I've come to need
Ooh no, look what you've done to me
You caught me off guard
Then tore my world apart
Ooh no, this thing has gone too far
It's too late
I can't escape
Only a devil like you
Could make me sin like I do
I've got a weakness
I am a fool
For a devil
For a devil like you
I think this place really deserves a monument status despite Devil's Postpile National Monument has stolen all the fame to the west of Mammoth Lakes. They were all resulted from the same volcanic eruption over hundred thousands years ago. Here 'a an extract from Atlas Obsura describing the process of creating such interesting column formation: "As the colossal torrents of lava washed over the built up ash it baked the ash to a layer of stone in an instant. Now after millennia of erosion from wind and water the bottom layer and the top layer of cooled lava can be clearly seen, taking the form of rocky waves bisected by a dividing line. In certain sections along the tuff, the stone has turned into bulbous columns known as degassing pipes creating a veritable forest of oddly shaped stone"
I don't wanna wake it up.
I loved the Fakeicon Flies so i thought i give them a try.
Not my best work but i still like the outcome. ♥
