What a facinating place this is, The Devils Marbles, near Tennant Creek in Northern Territory. Natural erosion over millions of years in this unique part of the world, caused the marble like granite boulders.
These two propably the 2 most popular photographed boulders, standing about 4 metres high. Shot taken 5 minutes after the sunset, looking North.
One thing I quite enjoyed while in the Northern Territory, is the sunset colours on the red rocks and red sands. The reds were so intense! During the full daylight, the red was slightly washed out, definately worth waiting around at these places and waiting for the sunset or sunrise :)

Devil's Dyke is a well known beauty spot on the South Downs near Brighton. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. There are two explanations of how it was formed. The first says it was created over 10,000 years ago by melt waters at the end of the last Ice Age. Nah, boring! The truth, of course (or, at least, the one I prefer), is that it was dug by the Devil, who wanted to drown all the people living in the area, by digging a trench through to the sea, because they were the last in the country to convert to Christianity and he was miffed at the thought of losing his only stronghold. He had boasted he could complete the work in one day, but was tricked into thinking it was already dawn (by someone with a candle and a cockerel ... really?), whereupon he abandoned the job and fled, humiliated, never to return. Oh, and he threw some of the earth down in disgust as he fled ... forming the Isle of Wight. So now you know. :)))
The people on the footpath give an idea of scale.
Finally got around to the Devil's Punchbowl photo portion of the 8/4/2019 Photo Tour. It was the last part - tide heading to its low point - and I was tired, and there were a lot of people clustered along the railing (limiting photo angles). Had to really modify all 3 photos to keep them in different ways. This one: saturation way up, center bright point moved a bunch towards the dark, exposure down a notch, shadows removed a lot.
The name probably came from the Anglo settlers later since the highest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area was originally named by the Spaniards as Mount Diablo. Why the devil? Well, turns out that the Spanish conquistadors were trying to capture the Volvon natives and the conquistadors were either bewildered or got lost in this mountain. So they called the mountain the devil and the name stuck until this day. Most indigenous people at the time was captured and relocated to the nearby Missions. There are still remnants of Native village sites that can be found in the nearby Morgan Territory.
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
The location is Devil's Speedway off West Side Road in Death Valley California. Just in back of the salt is Devil's Golf Course.
These were not my props.

“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

Devil's Pool is a small (about 10x10ft) area of relatively calm water just at the edge of the Victoria Falls. I didn't know anything about it before going to Zambia. And when I knew about it, I had to have the experience.
It was one of the most awe inspiring experience ever! Imagine, only few ft away is 110 meter drop. Imagine all the roars and thunders of the falls. Imagine swimming there. Imagine the pull towards the edge.
(I had to sign a paper stating that I was totally aware of the danger to life and they were not responsible for anything)
It's not showy, but is a new species for my prairie wildflowers species set. I only saw one of these plants so I was lucky to get this.

Dyavolski Most (Devil’s Bridge) was built on a picturesque narrow gorge of Arda River in the beginning of the 15th century. It is located 35 km away from Kardzhali and 10 km away from Ardino. The bridge is part of an ancient road, which connected the Aegean Sea Coast with the inland of Thrace. A local legend says that one can see the devil’s step in one of the stones, which is probably where its name comes from. The bridge was proclaimed a monument of culture on 24th February 1984.
