Devils Canyon Wyoming & Montana - The canyon itself spans the border of Wyoming and Montana. This particular view is in Montana, looking North.
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.

Searching my photo library for another shot to post in my random series, I came across this forgotten shot of Devils Tower.
Devils Tower is a butte rising 1,267 ft. (386m) above the Belle Fourche River and standing 867 ft. (264m) from base to summit.
The impressive geological formation inspired President Theodore Roosevelt to establish it as the first National Monument in the U.S on Sept. 24, 1906. It is located in northeast Wyoming.
I have just got back from a day in the New Forest with Elle. Lots of fungi and pictures but this has to be my highlight! We had a tip-off as to their location last year and decided to take a punt today. After a while looking we had all but given up and was heading back to the car when we saw one by the side of the path. I ran off into the undergrowth to find the second one. Its a shame they weren't in better condition but cant complain!
If you are an avid Outlander TV fan,this location was used I think in the second season,and brought this wonderful place to prominence.

A very dry Devil’s Hole in Formby. A natural occurrence, this bowl within the sand dunes is normally a bit like a fresh water marsh, and is a breeding ground for Natterjack Toads. Not this year.
It's been a while since I last posted, and while I have plenty of photos from the summer I will focus on a more recent one. I took this at Devils River Campground, which is located just south of Green Bay. It's a very quiet and isolated spot that is worth a visit, just check in with the owners of the property before you go.
Lübeck - Moments
The legend of the devil and St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany, tells of a clever deception.
In the 13th century, workers building the church told the curious devil they were constructing a wine bar. Pleased with this idea, the devil offered to help. Upon discovering the truth, the enraged devil attempted to destroy the church with a boulder. A quick-thinking worker promised to build a tavern nearby, appeasing the devil.
The "Devil's Stone" still rests near the church, supposedly bearing the devil's claw marks. In 1999, a bronze statue of a cheerful devil was placed on the stone. The Ratskeller tavern, built across from the church, fulfills the promise made to the devil. This charming tale showcases the wit of Lübeck's people and adds a whimsical touch to the church's history.
For this pinhole test I've taken three different views of a carved Tasmanian Devil outside the Wool Centre in Ross. Each were taken with the Nikon D850 and the Thingyfy pinhole adapter. I call this a test because I wanted to see how this object in deep shade would appear with the right exposure.
With a digital camera the aperture is set to the size of the pinhole which registers as f/0 in the camera. Focus is impossible because there is an unlimited depth of field, and it will be soft. In any case the viewfinder doesn't work. Manual exposure is required. One can then either set the ISO high (but this brings with it noise in the dark shadows), or on a tripod set a long exposure. I find the best results come from using 100 ISO as a base setting and then adjusting the exposure time to match the light. Pinhole is about hands on trial and error. But once you get a feel for the light conditions it is possible to make accurate guesses at exposure times and your biggest challenge will be framing the shot.
Once again the effect is not unlike that of a Holga toy camera or even some early Polaroids.

“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise

On my last evening of my trip through Zion and Bryce, we decided to head over to Escalante area and drop into this location for a possible sunrise shoot. Having shot sunset at Zion, we didn't arrive here until late at night, but when I looked outside I saw some good conditions for some star photography.
As my friend Jared was getting his photography gear together, I walked over and started looking at some of the trail signs around the area. Things along the lines of: "DANGER: Slot canyons can be very tight and you can get trapped in them", and other death warning signs. Then I look down and I see a logbook for people to sign in their times and locations. Being that it's dark outside, I can't see much of anything, so I start thinking to myself, what kind of place is this? I haven't seen signs like this when I have hiked into dangerous mountains and canyons with thousands of feet drops.
Fortunately it turned out that it was more of a precaution, because there was really nothing even remotely dangerous about the area. We set out in the dark and after a bit of wondering around, managed to find these beautiful rock formations. I could see the slight hint of the Milky Way just over the horizon, so I wanted to try and capture it if I could. Once we had our cameras setup, we used some CTO gels with our headlights to do some light painting. That part however took some time to fine tune the intensity and a nice even spread. I am pretty new to adding light painting to my night photography, so I would love some feedback.

Rock formation at large of the "Anses à prunes", one of the place most south of the island of Martinique.
This bridge is situated in Czerna near Krzeszowice. It was build in 1671-1691.
Now it's only ruins. More information in Polish :

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.
This capture of Devil's Thumb is located North of Delta, Colorado. Devil's Thumb Golf Course is named after this rock formation.
