Generally this was a bit of a disappointing day out. You can't get near the stones easily as they are in the middle of a corn field and the weather was just dull. I can't say that I really like any of the pics I took. The non-ir ones are even worse, just grey and uninspiring. At least you can usually extract a bit of sky from the ir ones.
For anybody who wants to know what a Devils Arrow is you should have a look at the previous picture, the links are on there.
According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota Sioux, some girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. (Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower.) When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the star constellation the Pleiades.
Devil’s matchstick
(Cladonia floerkeana)
Also known as 'British soldier'.
A quirky lichen with red-capped branches (known as 'podetia'), this lichen usually grows between one and three centimetres in height.
Like all lichens, the Devil's matchstick is actually two organisms working together: a fungus and an algae in a symbiotic relationship.
Where to see it
Cladonia floerkeana has a fondness for dead wood so rotting logs and fence posts are a good place to start. It also grows on well drained soil with a high organic matter content such as that found on heath and moorland.
Distribution
This lichen is scattered throughout the UK, although more commonly found in the north and the west.
Did you know?
Lichens are very sensitive to air pollution: the more lichens you find in a place the cleaner the air!

Vale of Rheidol Railway engine The Prince of Wales and Devils Bridge end of line station. The name comes from the old bridge built some say by the Devil himself after an encounter with a local elderly woman in the 11th century. The Devil was outwitted by the woman and fled in shame.
This picture is really funny. He was only finishing to yawn, but with his milk teeth, and his grimace, he was really looking like a little devil! ;)

Photographed at Devils Garden in Arches National Park in Utah, USA. This park has a large number of weathered rock formations and many stone arches. In a spectacular and beautiful desert setting.
The Great Platte River Road Archway Museum features the Mormon Pioneer Trail by telling the story of the 1856 disaster near Devils Gate, in which about 220 emigrants died of malnutrition and exposure. The museum tells of suffering, endurance, and heroism. Others have criticized emigration organizers, especially Brigham Young, for encouraging two wagon trains to start too late in the season.
This is the only visitor center I have found that mentions this disaster.
"Devils Island Lighthouse" by Patti Deters. Devils Island Lighthouse is one of six lighthouses in the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, about 20 miles from Bayfield and is the farthest north of the 22 island archipelago. It was first lit in 1891 and is the only lighthouse in the Apostles group that still has its original Fresnel lens. The original architecture was a self-supporting 82-foot steel cylinder, but the high winds of its exposed location caused the tower to shake so badly that lightkeepers complained that the motion sometimes extinguished the lamp. In 1914, the Lighthouse Service reinforced the structure with external braces, giving the tall white tower the appearance we see today. The sea caves and cliffs on the island and under the lighthouse are some of the most alluring within the national lakeshore. Although Devils Island is relatively remote, its lighthouse is a popular destination for experienced boaters and sea kayakers who like to explore the cliffs, water-carved arches, vaulted chambers, and honeycombed passageways of the sea caves. Tour boats do not usually stop at Devils Island, but lake cruises offer excellent views of this historic navigational landmark as is seen in this vertical photograph taken with wispy clouds in the deep blue sky.
