Descend down the 100ft gorge via the Devils Steps to the Devil's Pulpit. A circular red sandstone rock which was carved by the waters of the Carnock Burn.
In Outlander Finnich Glen was the location for St Ninians Spring, also know as Liar's Spring.
Devils Postpile; a dark cliff of columnar basalt, the formation was created by a lava flow at some time less than 100,000 years ago.
Because of its great thickness, much of the mass of pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, which is why the columns are so long and so symmetrical. Columnar jointing occurs when certain types of lava contract while cooling.
Shown is an entry point to the Devils Springs in Ginnie Springs. This small spring run incorporates several individually named spring vents, which makes it one of the more popular locations at Ginnie Springs. Ginnie Springs, located on the Sante Fe River near High Springs, FL., is a premier springing location owing to its numerous swimmable springs and camping opportunities directly on the water.
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:
Devil's Punchbowl State Natural Area, Otter Rock, Oregon. iPhone 7 Plus image, 30 second exposure using Average Camera Pro app, processed to Black and White using Nik Silver EFX Pro 2.
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.
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.

Another version tells that two Sioux boys wandered far from their village when Mato the bear, a huge creature that had claws the size of tipi poles, spotted them, and wanted to eat them for breakfast. He was almost upon them when the boys prayed to Wakan Tanka the Creator to help them. They rose up on a huge rock, while Mato tried to get up from every side, leaving huge scratch marks as he did. Finally, he sauntered off, disappointed and discouraged. The bear came to rest east of the Black Hills at what is now Bear Butte. Wanblee, the eagle, helped the boys off the rock and back to their village.
Dreams crack into stone
Monsters rise from devils playground
Shadows fall, darkness waits
There is a temple in Bangkok that has never given me a positive vibe.
Every time I walk by, it always feels empty and dark.
Just outside the temple grounds, I came across this on the wall.
Let me know what you think—perhaps it’s just my imagination.
Love to hear what you see.
The Devil's Urn is a cup fungus which is one of the first mushrooms to appear in the spring in the East. It can be found March through May, clustered on fallen deciduous wood, especially oak. Aptly named, it is beautiful in its own particular way.
Devil's Kitchen is a slot in the rocky shoreline along the Marginal Way. It can be a fearsome place to photograph when the waves surge unpredictably up through the slot. On this day the tide was halfway out into calm seas and waves would still explode near the large center rock and push me back. The close walls on either side help to amplify the sound of the water just to increase the fear factor. High tide is shot from the walkway above the cliffs.

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.
Oplopanax horridus
Devil’s Club, Alaska Ginsing or Hiker’s Bane. Oplapanax horridus means prickly ginseng. Watch out! There are thorns on the leaves and stem. A member of the ginseng family, the root of this plant cures a variety of ills and ailments.

Huge and pink. I inserted my iPhone so you can tell its size
Standing inside the bowl at Devil's Punchbowl State Park along the Central Oregon Coast. Waves roll in and out during just the right tide level to see the action and avoid being taken to sea.

The route of the A3 London to Portsmouth trunk road can be seen below, now returned to grass. The road now is taken by tunnel under the hills.
Another shot of the Devils Marbles, Northern Territory Australia. These rock formations are quite amazing and are just off the Stuart Highway which run up central Australia. Love the rich colours up here and the blue sky.

Nov. 2 is National Deviled Egg Day
Did you know the term ‘Deviled’ became common during the 18th century as a name for boiled or fried foods that were heavily seasoned, especially with mustard, paprika or pepper?

Hiking the Devil's Ridge on the way to Sgùrr a'Mhaim, as the sun rose and broke up the low lying mist to create some atmospheric conditions.
We started the morning on the north side of Lassen Volcanic National Park in Old Station. After a huge bowl of oatmeal at JJ's Cafe, we headed to Subway Cave nearby--a lava tube that is open to the public. Make sure you bring a flashlight and a jacket as its pitch dark and 46 degrees inside! Getting there early ensured that we had the place entirely to ourselves.
From there, we drove around the backside of the park, stopping in Westwood before we headed to the Drakesbad Guest Ranch, from where we were scheduled to go on a horseback ride. Though the original plan was to go to Terminal Geyser (a 3 hour ride), some of the guests arrived late necessitating a change in plans. Instead, we went out to Devil's Kitchen, the park's second largest display of geothermal features and only a 2 hour ride.
After the ride and the short hike down into Devil's Kitchen, we soaked in the hot springs at the Guest Ranch while hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail stocked up on their supplies.
The day ended with a fabulous pizza at Tantardino's Pizzeria in Lake Almanor Peninsula.
Also called Devil's walking stick, Oplopanax horridus. In some Pacific Northwest cultures, a piece of Devil's club hung over the doorway is said to ward off evil.
