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.
We visited a park called Devils@Cradle Mountain. We saw Tasmanian Devills and Quolls.
Tasmanian Devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world and, for their size, have one of the most powerful bites of any mammal!
Upset a Tasmanian Devil and you’ll quickly learn how it got its name. When threatened, this stocky marsupial is prone to bare its sharp teeth, lunge and growl. This is also part of a typical feeding-time display.
It was this late-night, ‘otherworldly’ howl, heard by early European settlers, which led to its common name.
Tasmanian Devils are the size of a small dog, weighing 4kg to 14kg, and standing about 30cm tall.
Devils have dark brown to black fur (sometimes with a hint of red-brown), with a large white stripe across their breast and the odd spot on their sides. Their faces are compact, with long whiskers, dark eyes and pink on the inner ears.
Like other marsupials, such as Antechinus, they store fat in their tails in times of plenty, to draw on when food is scarce.
"A brave man is a man who dares to look the Devil in the face and tell him he is a Devil."
~ James A. Garfield

One of the earliest descriptions of Devils Kitchen, which involved a collapse event there, was retold by long-term resident Albert E. Thompson (1968), "My parents were living in Sedona in the early 1880s and heard the crash when the spot caved in. Mother said the dust from the cave-in filled the air all day and the sun looked like it was shining through heavy smoke. Her brother, Jim James, was the first one to see the new hole in the ground".
In late 1989, a second historic collapse event occurred at Devils Kitchen, enlarging the opening by as much as 1/3rd. The 1989 event was largely limited to the north wall, where a gigantic block, detached along three bounding walls from its caprock, rotated outward into the opening without dropping to a lower elevation. Edges of the newly broken rocks are highly angular and the surface soil has not yet begun to slough off.
Collapse of the southernmost wall of the sinkhole pre-dated historic collapse events and probably represents an early, formative event in the history of Devils Kitchen. In contrast to the fresh, angular appearance of historically broken blocks, blocks of the south wall display rounded edges and the surfaces carry a patina of manganese oxide that suggests open exposure over several hundred years.
The Devils Kitchen sinkhole is the most active of the seven sinkholes in Sedona. It has an opening 150 feet by 90 feet, with the floor situated 35 to 70 feet below the rim. Lindberg estimates that caverns in the Redwall Limestone, could have volumes on the order of 1.3 million cubic feet (a cave roughly 100 feet high and 130 feet in diameter).
The Devil's Water is a tributary of the River Tyne forming on moorland to the south of Hexham and joining the Tyne just to the west of Corbridge.
Near the point at which it meets the Tyne, the river is crossed by a relatively unremarkable railway bridge which carries the Newcastle to Carlisle railway. Here an unidentified class 158 unit rattles over at speed with a Carlisle to Newcastle service.

2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the past 50 years.
The book, called 50 Years of Phoenix is available now – click on this link to order your copy: www.mortonsbooks.co.uk/product/view/productCode/15554

They call this pool the Devil's Bath, located in Wai-O-Tapu in New Zealand. The color is the result of water mixing with sulphur and ferrous salts. The color changes quite a bit depending on the reflected light and cloud color. I really liked how it photographed with these menacing clouds.
Devils Postpile is an unusual landmark located near Mammoth Mountain in eastern California. The hexagonal columns are a result of volcanic activity
Suria agreed to be photographed in this devil costume one more time just for Red Golden. Not quite as foul looking this time. (See the earlier photo below). She must be mellowing.
... hoy como es "Halloween" he querido hacer algo malvado, que no fuera, ni sangriento, ni terrorÃfico, asà que aquà dejo mi maldad de hoy.
Third time's a charm. After two not very successful attempts in the Badlands, mostly due to cloudy skies, I decided to move 160 miles NW where it was supposed to be even darker. When I got there in the early afternoon the sky didn't look promising and the weather forecast was reporting a severe thunderstorm warning with strong winds and golfball size hail... I went scouting the place anyway and eventually I was treated with a perfectly clear night.

A quick stop yesterday to check out the Devil's Slide. No line for this ride.

Geologic Wonders - The Devil's Slide
The Devil‘s Slide is one of the more unusual natural form-ations along the wall of Weber Canyon, in Utah. There, two limestone layers, tilted to near vertical, rise 40 feet above the canyon wall with 25 feet separating them. Looking like a large playground slide fit only for the Devil, this site is a tilted remnant of sediments deposited in a sea that occupied Utah‘s distant geologic past. About 170 to 180 million years ago, a shallow sea originating from the north spread south and east over areas of what are now Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. This sea extend as far east as the present-day Colorado River and south into northern Arizona. Over millions of years, massive amounts of sediment accumulated and eventually formed layers of limestone and sandstone. In northern Utah, these rocks are know as the Twin Creeks Formation and are approximately 2700 feet thick. About 75 million years ago, folding and faulting during a mountain-building episode tilted the Twin Creek rock layers to a near-vertical position. Subsequent erosion of softer material has exposed the near vertical limestone layers and created Devil‘s Slide.

This beautiful spot is called the Devil's Pulpit and is located in the heart of the Trossachs, it's a wee bit tricky to find and get down to but well worth the effort (be careful on the scramble down into the gorge if you decide to visit it yourself).
I took this standing in cold water almost up to my waist, madness perhaps but the composition seemed worth it to me at the time! Looking back, I think I was right 😀
Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia located in the locality of Warumungu about 105 km south of Tennant Creek, and 393 km north of Alice Springs. The Devils Marbles are of great cultural and spiritual significance to the Aboriginal traditional owners of the land, and the reserve protects one of the oldest religious sites in the world as well as the natural rock formations found there.
Seaford & District Dennis Trident SFZ 404 at Devils Dyke operating on service 77 having just completed its first trip. This bus was new to Brighton & Hove as T819 RFG. Back during it's B&H days this bus operated a lot on the 77 so it was great to be able to have it on this route.
The Devil thumb or Jodah thumb rock is about 140km from Dammam near the old town of Judah. The area consists of very interesting rock formations and gravel terrain and is a good place for off-road camping. Clicked while driving, good for me, there was no traffic :)
Dusk at Devil's Garden, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah. During the minute-long exposure, I jumped up on some rocks and fired my flash with a peach-colored gel several times to light up the rocks in the background.
I've now uploaded the accompanying video on You Tube. Please click the link below to view:
