In 1906 President Teddy Roosevelt designated Devils Tower as our 1st national monument. The tower was formed by magma which cooled underground and was later exposed after millions of years of erosion.
Totally magnificent sight out there rising above the rolling hills...Close Encounters of the Third Kind to be sure!
Entering the Cairngorm Mountains from Highland Perthshire this is one of the most gorgeous routes you can take, a nice wee change from the more rugged looking mountains of the west of Scotland.
During normal times, half of the river at the Devil’s Kettle would empty into a pool while the other half would flow into a gigantic pothole. It was hard to see either of those things while we were there since the river was such a raging beast. It was impressive!

Devils Bridge. The bridge was probably built by the monks of St Mary's Abbey, York. In common with many bridges of the same name, legend holds that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it. When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil. You can also see Stanley Bridge in the near distance and I think Turner Bridge in the far distance

And sure they’ll die
And it doesn’t help
If you only just cry
Cause nothing but a bad time
Makes the devil smile’

From my archives:
Devils Tower (Lakota: Matȟó Thípila ("Bear Lodge") or Ptehé Ǧí ("Brown Buffalo Horn") (Arapaho: Wox Niiinon) is an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres.
In recent years, about 1% of the Monument's 400,000 annual visitors climb Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.

Satan's first day at work. First impressions are a bitch. The girls ask each other, "Who's the douche bag with the pitchfork actin' like he thinks he's all hot and whatnot?"

The Eastern Blue Devil is friendly to visiting divers. She is resident in a small cave about 15 minutes out from the Gutter, near Bushrangers Bay.
Les Devils Marbles se présentent sous la forme d'énormes rochers de granit arrondis, éparpillés à travers une vaste vallée peu profonde, à 100 kilomètres au sud de Tennant Creek dans le Territoire du Nord.
D'après diapositive d'octobre 1988.
The devils were funny in how sometimes they looked like a big rat like this one. Other times like looked like a bear, or a pig or a dog. But their sounds are clearly devils sounds. Sadly they only live 6-7 years.
Devils Tower National Monument June 09 - 1999
Devils Tower taken from the southwest side in the late afternoon sunlight.
When I lived in Seattle and would visit home in the 90's, or would visit Seattle from my hometown, many times I would stop at Devils Tower and do the loop hike around Devils Tower. On this trip I was on my way to visit Seattle, WA.
Scanned from a 35mm negative using a Pentax PZ-10 camera, Pentax FA 28-80mm f/3,5-4.7 lens.
Finally after about two years I got my Nikon snanner to start working again. More coming.
The Devils Tower is a small sandstone mountain at the edge of the Elbe canyon in the Saxon Switzerland National park. One of the few mountains the can be seen facing south it seems to be quite a popular milky way spot. Although the light pollution from the nearby cities in the Czech Republic are quite bad nowadays.
The night was pretty short with the milky way only being fully visible from 00:30 to 02:30 - typical summer. About an hour driva and another hour hiking for each of the two directions resulted in a pretty slow office day yesterday.

These trees that had been pushed/pulled/blown over all had clumps of chalk stuck to their roots. They reminded me of burial mounds for some reason...
As I am trudging thru the jungle, sweat pouring off my face and onto my camouflage, balancing my heavy equipment …. Wait …. Wait …. Wait … This is insane, that’s not me; why would I be in the jungle without a rifle exposing myself to jaguars and panthers or worse, poisonous snakes and spiders? As I slowly awake from this nightmare (caused by sitting in the Adirondack for far too long without a refreshment in sight) I am aware of facing down this squirrel thru my long lens. Reflex takes over and I press the shutter button. And just remember, you saw it here first! Documented proof that squirrels like fruit. You all remember now that tomatoes are a fruit and not a vegetable. I am glad that I am a safe distance away and there is no way that I am tempted to fight this little warrior for the fruit of my wife’s labor. (oh that sentence is just chock-full of metaphors). I have it from someone who has firsthand experience with the viciousness of these creatures. So, the devil in me decides that this is really my wife’s problem and my primary concern should be to replenish my refreshments.
PS: please note how the reflections on the tomato match the reflections in the eye. That took weeks of planning and was quite difficult to visualize while the tomato was ripening. And you guys think I don’t plan my shots …

I have driven past this tree on the way to Princetown from Yelverton countless times. Its down in a dip and on the edge of a marsh. I have always thought theres a photo there and this is my effort taken on a dull and flat day.
Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
How the other half die
Makes you wonder, wonder, wonder
Here come the man with the look in his eye
Fed on nothing but full of pride
Look at them go, look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live
Devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell
A place called hell
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
Devil inside
The devil…
