Seen at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Brighton, Tasmania. Most of the larger Tasmanian wildlife is nocturnal so they often end up on the wrong side of interactions with motor vehicles. If you call the Bonorong hotline they will pick up the injured animal, operate on it if necessary, nurse it back to health, and reintroduce it to the wild. At the time I visited they had about a dozen devils and probably 50 or 60 kangaroos. The kangaroos will come eat out of your hand, but the devil's are enclosed. While not actually very dangerous, they have very powerful jaws and can easily bite off a finger or two if they get the chance. Devils are not predatory for the most part but rely mainly on scavenging.
Rock formation at large of the "Anses à prunes", one of the place most south of the island of Martinique.
Nearly lost a bagful of camera accessories here as a hugely strong squall blew it into the stream just behind where I took this shot.
Taken at the edge of Llyn Idwal looking towards Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, North Wales at dusk..... such a beautiful place. Funny old thing but Paul Forgham never flinched as I went for a swim to catch my bag......... getting the shot before we lost the light being his priority - Priceless........ Cheers mate, I can still hear you laughing now!
Best seen large, thanks for your time folks.
A dust devil outside Tucson, Arizona.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon of a vertically oriented rotating column of wind. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.
Dust devils form when hot air near the surface rises quickly through a small pocket of cooler, low-pressure air above it. If conditions are just right, the air may begin to rotate. As the air rapidly rises, the column of hot air is stretched vertically, thereby moving mass closer to the axis of rotation, which causes intensification of the spinning effect by conservation of angular momentum. The secondary flow in the dust devil causes other hot air to speed horizontally inward to the bottom of the newly forming vortex. As more hot air rushes in toward the developing vortex to replace the air that is rising, the spinning effect becomes further intensified and self-sustaining. A dust devil, fully formed, is a funnel-like chimney through which hot air moves, both upwards and in a circle. As the hot air rises, it cools, loses its buoyancy and eventually ceases to rise. As it rises, it displaces air which descends outside the core of the vortex. This cool air returning acts as a balance against the spinning hot-air outer wall and keeps the system stable.
Many thanks to Jim for spotting this little creature ID. This is a Lion Tamarin Monkey ! I hope you like this little devil ! :-)

The Backbone is a beloved, two-mile strip of Dakota sandstone that rises from the rock and soil in a buffer zone between mountains and plains west of Loveland, Colorado.
Like its sister hogbacks common along Colorado’s Front Range, including Roxborough State Park and Garden of the Gods, this Larimer County landmark has its own ghoulishly beautiful character.
Pinnacles rising more than 200 feet above surrounding valleys are eroded into angular arches; the most famous portal is the Keyhole. The Backbone’s crags are safe haven for nesting raptors like red-tailed hawks and great horned and barn owls. Mammals like mule deer, elk, bear and mountain lion lurk under its slopes. Keen eyes might even spot lizards sunning themselves on rock outcroppings. Early summer visitors are privileged to find a yellow flower of the rare Bell’s twinpod, which grows here and in a few isolated spots in Boulder and Jefferson County – and nowhere else in the world.
Prehistoric fossils are discovered here, too, including an ancient elephant with 5-foot-long tusks now on display at Chicago’s Field Museum.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

Let's Travel the World!
I've spent the past decade exploring our world; and documenting the journey in photos and stories. For all the latest updates, follow along on:
I can stand the cold when hiking, but 30 to 40 miles wind. The wind cut right through my insulated underwear. This hike is a 20 minute strenuous hike, we didn't make it but a family of five made the hike. Devil's Courthouse is a mountain in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. The mountain is located at the Western edge of the Pisgah National Forest about 10 miles northwest of Brevard. Located at milepost 422.4 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Devil's Courthouse has a moderate/strenuous trail climbing a half mile to its peak where panoramic views. Cherokee lore had been reported to state that Jutaculla (alternative English spelling is Judaculla; Cherokee name is Tsul'kălû'), a slant eyed giant, dwells in the cave in Devil's Courthouse.
The Devil’s bridge is an old ottoman bridge in Bulgaria which connected Thrace with Aegean Sea. It was built by a Bulgarian builder named Dimitar between 1515 and 1518 in order of sultan Selim I. The Bulgarian name of this bridge is “Дяволски мост” (Diavolski most – Devil’s bridge) and the Turkish name is Şeytan Köprüsü. Now this bridge isn’t close to any main roads and it is only a memory for old great times.
The Devil’s Bridge is located near the town of Ardino and the village of Dyadovtsi in the Rhodope mountains, southeastern Bulgaria. See the precise location.
The legend of the Devil’s bridge
Now let’s go back to the XVI century and our builder Dimitar. Until then all bridges built on that place had been destroyed by the rough Arda River and most of the people believed that this place had been cursed. But despite the curse Dimitar decided to try to make another bridge.
Thereupon the Devil appeared to our hero and offered him to reveal the secret for building the bridge. But the Devil had some requirements (the things with small letters in the contract): to inwall the shadow of his wife (that means that the wife will die soon after building the bridge, it is common story in Bulgarian legends), to build it in 40 days, and some other easy tasks like these. Anyway the most interesting requirement for us was that the Devil wanted his own image to be integrated in the bridge. But it was very complicated. He wanted to be both visible and invisible, both touchable and non-existing. If the builder could not do it, the Devil would take his soul as well. About the wife – she was a victim in any case, her soul was already taken.
But Dimitar was able to surprise even the Devil. He was ready in 40 days, the Satan had its requirements fulfilled and left with only one soul – the wife’s one. But his face was staying forever above Arda River thanks to Dimitar the builder. Thx to www.andrey-andreev.com/en/the-devils-bridge/
This is close to the entrance of Devils Arse. I kid you not! According to the information board, its the largest entrance chamber in the UK, no idle boast.

The Iguaçu Falls are located where the Iguaçu River tumbles over the edge of the Paraná Plateau, 23 kilometres (14 mi) upriver from the Iguaçu's confluence with the Paraná River. Numerous islands along the 2.7-kilometre-long (1.7 mi) edge divide the falls into many separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 to 82 metres (197 to 269 ft) high. The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level. Approximately half of the river's flow falls into a long and narrow chasm called the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese). The Devil's Throat is U-shaped, 82 by 150 by 700 metres (269 ft × 492 ft × 2,297 ft). Placenames have been given also to many other smaller falls, such as San Martín Falls, Bossetti Falls, and many others.

I encountered this male painted devil (Lacunicambarus ludovicianus) wandering a small urban seasonal wetland while I was searching for frogs to photograph. This was my first time seeing this Mississippi River floodplain native in such an urban area; the habitat is far less ideal than many other places I've seen them. Obviously it was enough for this adult crayfish to exist in.
The confluence of Porcupine Creek and Devil Canyon with the Bighorn River and Bighorn Canyon at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a National Park Service unit that straddles the Montana-Wyoming State line between the Pryor and Bighorn Mountain ranges. The Devil Canyon Overlook, which is only accessible from the south entrance near Lovell, WY (there is no through-road from the north to south end of the National Recreation Area) offers a number of views of the Bighorn River 1000 to 1500 feet below as it flows north through the third largest canyon in the United States.

Devils Fork Creek flows thru hollowed out sandstone. I wish I had taken more time photographing this area, but even though we were there very early its still an effort to get a shot before others arrive
Devils Tower, also known as Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge” in Lakota, is a volcanic neck that rises 1,267 feet from the Black Hills in northeastern Wyoming. It was the very first national monument in the United States, bestowed that designation by Teddy Roosevelt on September 24th, 1906. In recent years around one percent of the 400,000 annual visitors actually climbs the tower. We’ll get to how you do that in a later article.
Long before the tower was being recognized by the American government, Native tribes had geographical and cultural connections to it. They called it everything from ‘Aloft on a Rock’ (Kiowa) to ‘Grizzly Bear Lodge’ (Lakota). It wasn’t given its demonic name until Col. Richard Irving Dodge led an expedition through Wyoming in 1875. His interpreter botched the translation, calling it ‘Bad God’s Tower’, which was eventually shortened to Devils Tower.
There are two great legends regarding the tower and the unusual looking columns that bear a striking resemblance to claw marks. It’s no surprise that both the stories, from the Lakota Sioux and the Kiowa, involve a similar narrative. In the Lakota Sioux legend, six girls were out picking flowers when they were attacked and chased by bears. The Great Spirit felt bad for them, and raised the ground beneath their feet. The bears gave chase and attempted to climb the newly formed tower, but they couldn’t get to the top. The bears fell off, clawing the sides of the monolith.
The Kiowa legend follows a similar storyline but includes astrology as well. Seven little Kiowa girls were out playing, spotted by several giant bears, and were chased. The girls prayed to the Great Spirit, and sure enough the ground rose beneath them towards the Heavens. The bears tried to climb the rock but only managed to leave their deep claw marks on the sides. The girls reached the sky and were turned into the constellation Pleiades.

An early morning photograph capturing the calm, reflective background of the Middle Fork, San Joaquin River. The reason i call this 'tranquil' is the calm, quiet feel photographing this compared to the harsh, contrasting basaltic column postpiles.
