This cascade was found not far from Devils Falls near Colfax, Ca. It was a tricky climb up there however I managed to not fall down. The water flows were much lower than the visit last year allowing better access. This was captured at f/18 to get more in focus however it caused the shutter to go a little longer than desired. A Cir polarizer was used to remove some of but not all the glare from the wet surfaces. This is a single raw imaged edited in Lightroom.

Recently returned to active service after a period of restoration work done for Ceres Rail Company at Worcester by the Voorbaai team managed by Bobby Rudman. The locomotive's first revenue run was on 13 July 2018. Seen here at Worcester on 29th June 2002.
Devil's Postpile National Monument
One of the world’s finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry.
Near Mammoth Lakes, California. One more picture below.
Holy crap! I can't believe I missed Sarah Palin Saturday!
I hope to return to a more normal schedule after today's babe shoot.

I took this two-frame panorama from atop a fin in the Devils Garden in Arches National Park, UT. I seem to remember feeling lost at this point of my hike!
The rock is mainly Entrada Sandstone. The fins seen here are actually an intermediate stage in the erosion of sandstone. Over time, water seeped into superficial cracks, joints and folds in the rock; ice formed in the fissures, expanding and putting pressure on surrounding rock, breaking off bits and pieces. Winds later cleaned out the loose particles and a series of freestanding fins remained.
Water and ice will attack these until more chunks fall out. Many damaged fins collapse but others, with just the right degree of hardness and balance, survive. These become the famous arches found throughout this park and elsewhere in the US South-West. Further erosion will cause the arches to collapse, resulting in hoodoos. That's the geologic story of the area - probably. Apparently the existing evidence is largely circumstantial...
A truly spectacular landscape that deserved more careful and longer appreciation but I didn't have that opportunity, although I did get properly sunburnt on the back of my legs during the day - ouch!
The map location is a bit of a guess!
These are the Devils Marbles, large granite boulders, roughly 100 kilometers south of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory of Australia.
We were greeted with a magical sky on Brents and my excursion to the notoriously dangerous devils cauldron. The red sky was most appropriate for this incredibly powerful place.

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)
From Plateau Point, a spur off the Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon, you can see the switchbacks of the Devil's Corkscrew winding down below the Great Unconformity on the way to the Colorado River. At the bottom, you can cross over the river on one of two suspension bridges, and camp at Phantom Ranch. View is roughly southward.
Tour the whole Grand Canyon in my Rafting the Colorado album.
Pleased to meet you!

"Pussy cat & Devil" is a love story for demon and kitten, plus about the people around them.
I would be happy if you enjoy this series!
After the fun of the Bighorn Mountains, it was back onto the interstate to churn up the miles. My goal was to get to Mt. Rushmore the next day at a good hour, but stepping out of Downtown Java Jae's (now Brothers Coffee Co), I noticed that a north wind had started whipping about that was discernably not there at the time that I entered the cafe. Back on the interstate, the wind hit me broadside. With each passing mile, my neck muscles had to strain that much more to keep my head from flying off, so much so that after 20 miles, I resolved to duck into the first hotel that I was able to find to ride out the night.
In the end, the stopover in Moorpark allowed me to reevaluate my route as I planned a detour to go by Devil's Tower.
You have to give credit to the Native American's for their origin stories. Regarding Devil's Tower, seven girls being chased by bears jumped onto a rock; one started praying. The rock responded by elevating the girls out of the clawing bears' reach. The rock eventually placed the girls up in the heavens as the Pleiades, which is a constellation called the Seven Sisters. In fact, it seems that every culture has an interpretation of these same seven stars.
It's been a busy year for me. Luckily, I have time for vacation.
This was taken at Escalante, UT. I love this place, it's like a adult disneyland. I can imaging myself wondering around this place for months and never get tired of it. The truth is, no matter how long is your vacation, you still have to get back to realities and facing your duties. Even thought I'm back from this place but I never stop thinking about this places.
There's so many things that I want to accomplish this year and I just accomplish one - hit 5 different national parks this year.
thanks for viewing and have a great day. Hope to see you soon on Flickr ^__^
This is a shot of "Devils Bridge" at Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria. People jump off of the bridge into the River Lune, this has now been made illegal following some fatal instances. I hope you like the shot. Please let me know if you do. Thanks and have a great weekend , Graham.
Here's some more information about the bridge:
Dating from around 1370 and constructed of fine gritstone ashlar. It has three spans, the western two measuring 54.75 feet (16.69 m) each and the eastern one 29 feet (8.8 m). The piers are hexagonal, measuring 60 feet (18 m) around.
A great flood will easily reach the base of the arches and run over the tops of the cutwaters. In common with many bridges of the same name, legend holds that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it. When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil. Several large stones in the surrounding area, including the Great Stone of Fourstones, are ascribed to the Devil's purse-strings bursting open as he ferried masonry to build it.
This waterfall in the interior mountains of San Diego county only rarely appears following heavy rain.

One of the most popular spots at Devil's Lake State Park, Devil's Doorway was created by the last Ice Age, 15,000 years ago. Although it is not life-risking to get to the doorway, like these two, it is a very treacherous hike up the bluff to get there.

This is my first try at a skybox using the black dragon and second life viewers new PBR implementation.
The skybox is at 500 LI and can be reduced by resizing or editing.
The skybox has a version with and without lights.
This skybox can be used outside of PBR but at a reduced quality.
This will be available at the upcoming WeLoveRolePlay on the 4th of Febuary
Another towering travertine geothermal cone demarcating Jupiter Terrace (left) and Palette Spring in Yellowstone's Mammoth Hot Springs area.
Funny that so many geologic features are named after the bad guy. Just in Yellowstone, there's also a Devil's Kitchen also in Mammoth (as well as in Shell, Wyoming, see my photos thereof). Just north of the park, in Custer-Gallatin National Park, is Devil's Slide (which I think is a volcanic dike), and beyond, Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The list goes on!
In the afternoon of our last day, we walked the rim of Victoria Falls, beginning at Devil's Cataract on one end. This small section of the falls is separated from the rest by Cataract Island, and has a drop of only 180 feet. It is also the weakest point in rock face of the falls, and has the lowest top edge. Eventually, over thousands of years, the water will wear it away and this section will become the main channel of the river as less goes over the rest of the current face.
Devil's Cataract is not the location of the "Devil's Pool," where people swim in a pool on the edge of the falls. The Devil's Pool is closer to the middle, adjacent to Livingstone Island.
The fence in the foreground is the only barrier between the path and the edge of the chasm. I always forget to post a shot for "Fence Friday," but I remembered today. HFF!
Blended from three exposures. See the note on the picture in Comments for the location of today's shot.
