The summit of Devils Tower is a relatively large 54m X 91m space. Due to the poor quality of the rocky soil, the summit is unlike the relatively moist Black Hills surrounding it and the Ponderosa Forest below, and more like the Great Basin, with grass, cactus, wildflowers, and sagebrush. Chipmunks, mice, pack rats and the occasional snake have been found on top. Below, there are deer, pheasants, porcupines, bobcats, beavers and other Rocky Mountain Wildlife. There is also a decently sized prairie dog town.

I felt very sad for this poor little devil who was living alone in his enclosure. I also find it distressing that creatures who are unattractive have fewer ‘heroes’.
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 famous gape or yawn of the Tasmanian devil that looks so threatening, can be misleading. This display is performed more from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Tasmanian 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 once occurred on mainland Australia, with fossils having been found widely. But it is believed the devil became extinct on the mainland some 400 years ago – before European settlement. Devils probably became extinct there due to increasing aridity and the spread of the dingo, which was prevented by Bass Strait from entering Tasmania. Today the devil is a Tasmanian icon.
Traditionally their numbers were controlled by food availability, competition with other devils and quolls, loss of habitat, persecution and roadkills. But the greatest recent threat to devils across Tasmania is the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) It is sweeping through Tasmania's devil population, killing more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 40-50% in medium-low density areas.
In May 2008, The Tasmanian devil’s status was formally upgraded to ‘endangered’ under Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. Meanwhile, the Federal Government has included the Tasmanian devil under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. They are wholly protected.

Devil's Bridge is a few miles outside of Sedona, AZ. I used to go to Sedona 4 times a year to hike the 4 seasons and this was always one of my favorite spots, albeit my heart was always in my throat when I walked across it.
So the Devil's Urn has opened fully. It looks like a different entity entirely! Like a chocolate flower.....I have been told they are edible (barely!) :)
Devil's Garden, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah.
Most 'tog visitors compose the hoodoos as their main subjects when they photograph at Devil's Garden but in the soft light after sunset I was drawn to the subtle blue and yellow colours of the vegetation growing in the sand surrounding these petrified sand formations and so I wanted them to be the focus of the image. I hope I've included enough of the sandstone arch and boulder to give a sense of the strange environment which shelters these plants.
Remember when you used to be able to tag parts of photos on Flickr? If I could do that, I would point out that there are at least five climbers toward the left half of this face. You can zoom in and find them.

If the Devil gives you critical thinking, knowledge of good and evil, and the power to rule yourself... and God is the one who forces you under his laws into obedience and submission, ignorance, and fear of eternal punishment... then who is the one you really need to be saved from?
This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!
Deviled eggs or eggs mimosa are hard-boiled eggs cut in half and filled with the hard-boiled egg's yolk mixed with different ingredients. Deviled eggs are usually served cold. They are served as a side dish, appetizer or a main course, and are a common holiday or party food.
Thorny Devil (Moloch horridus) is an Australian lizard. It is also known as the Thorny Dragon, Mountain Devil, Thorny Lizard, or the Moloch and is the sole species of genus Moloch. It grows up to 20 cm (8 in) in length and can live up to 20 years, coloured in camouflaging shades of desert browns and tans; these change from pale colours when warm to darker colours when cold. The species is entirely covered with conical spines that are mostly uncalcified. It also features a spiny "false-head" on the back of the neck, the animal presents this to a potential predator by dipping its real head. Females are larger than males. The Thorny Devil's body is ridged in structure, and enables the animal to collect water from any part of its body, which is then channelled to the mouth.

Dyavolski Most (Devil’s Bridge) was built on a picturesque narrow gorge of Arda River in the beginning of the 15th century. It is located 35 km away from Kardzhali and 10 km away from Ardino. The bridge is part of an ancient road, which connected the Aegean Sea Coast with the inland of Thrace. A local legend says that one can see the devil’s step in one of the stones, which is probably where its name comes from. The bridge was proclaimed a monument of culture on 24th February 1984.
