Devils Tower National Monument, September 2003
On our way home from Grand Teton National Park, we planned to stop in Rapid City, SD to visit some friends. Along the way to Rapid City we briefly stopped at Devil's Tower. During our visit we hiked the Tower Trail along the base of the monolith.
Devil's Tower was America's first National Monument, granted that status by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It is composed of volcanic rock that was once molten and forced upwards between other rock. The molten material did not reach the surface, but instead cooled as it was forced up. Over time the surrounding rock was weathered away by erosion to reveal the Tower's presence.

Lesley-Ann Marriott came with her lucky shirt and it worked just as planned. Well done on the final.

The Devils Postpile is an amazing sight. I could attempt to write a description of how this formation was created, but you'd be better off checking out this link.
For a scale, check out the size of the trees. These are huge columns of rock.

In a world where everyone is dogmatically pursuing their passions, wholeheartedly going after their dreams and risking it all, what happens when the price of success is too steep to pay?" - Fajr Muhammad

Devils Tower is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge ... Devils Tower was the first United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. .... a prime example being the columnar “hoodoo” formations at Bryce Canyon National Park.
The reflective surfaces are not textures!
Mumixer had pointed me in the direction of Devil's Moon a few weeks ago but with one thing and another I only made it out there today - and fell flat on my face so to speak: I was always under the impression that reflections and reflectivity is beyond the scope of present day real time render. So, how on earth did they achieve this? And why does it create no lag whatsoever? I took a lot of screenshots, some from the exact same location at slight angle variations since I want my computer scientist colleague, Selim to take a look at these and tell me what the hell is going on here...
Beautiful SIM too btw, but quite frankly the technology had me so gobsmacked that I couldn't really take much else in. Will go back for sure.
6 hours later:
ahum... Mossy put me wise: It is an extremely clever design trick: They did the entire architecture twice, one being the perpendicular mirror image of the other and then interleaved it with those transparent textures.
jeez... am i embarrassed or what?

Sitting on the devil's stone. When the devil saw a new building being erected he thought they were building a pub and gave a hand. The building went on apace, but when he realised they were building a church he decided to throw a great big stone to destroy the building. The architect convinced him not to do this by promising to build a wine bar opposite and so the devil placed the stone outside the church instead.
Taken near the topmost switchback of the Devil's Corkscrew. It took us about half an hour to climb up from the creek.

An unusual geologic formation in the Eastern Sierra, the Devil's Postpile is a major attraction for the area.
