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!

EXPLORED!
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.
How did this Tower Form? Well, it's amazing! I've learned that the process began about 50 million years ago when Magma (molton rock) was injected into layers of sedimentary rock, forming the Tower one and one-half miles below the earth's surface. It has since taken millions of years to erode away the surrounding sedimentary rock to expose the Tower we see today!
I just got home late last night from a recent trip to the Badlands, Devil's Tower, and Mount Rushmore! I'm having a blast going through all my pictures!
From Wikipedia:
Devils Den is a boulder-strewn hill on the south end of Houck's Ridge at Gettysburg Battlefield, once used by artillery and infantry (e.g., sharpshooters) on the second day of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. A tourist attraction since the memorial association era, several boulders are worn from foot traffic and the site includes numerous cannon, memorials, and walkways, including a bridge spanning two boulders.
Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Battle of Gettysburg
On July 2, 1863, Smith's Union battery, with six Napoleon smooth-bores, used the hill to counterfire on Confederate artillery prior to McLaws' Assault at 5:30 pm. Against Hood's Assault that started at 4 pm, Devils Den was defended by Birney's 1st Division as the far left position from The Peach Orchard Salient of the III Corps. The hill was captured when the "First Texas Regiment, having pressed forward to the crest of the hill and driven the enemy from his battery", and Anderson's Confederates used the hill for the first attack on The Wheatfield. From near the Slaughter Pen, the 40th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment forced the 2nd & 17th Georgia regiments of Benning's Brigade to retreat to Devils Den. Confederate sharpshooters were stationed between the rocks to fire upon Union soldiers at Little Round Top, among their victims being General Stephen H. Weed and Lieutenant Charles E. Hazlett. Hazlett's guns counter-fired upon them, and many were killed from the concussion of air.
Devils Lake State Park, Wisconsin. Devils Lake Segment, Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Lake formed when the ends of a canyon were sealed off by glacial till.
Devils Bridge is a short walk from the Verandah in the St Philip Parish of Antigua. It has been formed by the sea eroding the rock from beneath creating an opening. It is said that people walking across the bridge have been caught out by the high splash coming through the opening hence its name.
Here's a little something a couple friends and I took last night. This is Devils Doorway at Devils Lake Wisconsin. It's about a mile hike, basically straight up to get here. It was hot and humid but well worth the trip and effort. I weighed my camera bag today and it weigh 33.5 lbs. I thought I was packing light too...guess not so much. LOL

One of the upper pools of water at Devil's Den. The water was refreshingly frigid to swim in after the hiking up there in the heat/humidity!
Devil's Creek is a little known spot in Cambridge Ontario, it is a small waterfall into the Grand River off of the Devil's Creek hiking trail. The best capture is from the river but I wasn't brave enough to climb down the cliff to get the shot.

This was my 2nd shot of the morning, I had tried a couple of different angles, but settled on the pano. Mostly because I don’t have a wide angle lens, however, I think I still would have opted for this shot because I enjoy the scale of the surrounding coast.
1 Peter 5:7–8 (ESV)
7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
DEVIL (Gk. diábolos “slanderer”). Another name for Satan, God’s adversary. Whereas the Old Testament contains references to “demons” (so RSV, NIV; KJV “devils”) and “satyrs,” the New Testament presents a more developed demonology. Here some of the angels are said to have fallen from their state of integrity in heaven and placed themselves under the rule of the devil. As their prince (Matt. 9:34), the devil—called the “father of lies” and the “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44)—opposed Christ’s redemptive work by sending demons into people who then involuntarily became demon-possessed (see DEMON).
The devil himself sought to annul Christ’s ministry by his temptations in the wilderness, the region where, according to the Old Testament, demons and satyrs existed. Temporarily abandoning the effort after three unsuccessful attempts (Matt. 4:1–11 par. Luke 4:2–13; Mark 1:13 has “Satan”), the devil waited for an opportune moment (Luke 4:13), which came during the passion week when he had Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples, betray his master (Luke 22:3, “Satan”; John 6:70; 13:2). (Though Luke suggests Jesus’ victory over the devil, he also records Christ’s awareness of his power [e.g., Luke 8:12; see also Matt. 13:39], especially through his endeavors to block the expansion of the kingdom of God by means of demon possession.) At Acts 13:10 the apostle Paul blinds Elymas on account of his alleged cooperation with the devil.
Through his resurrection Christ broke the power of death and, in principle, the power of the devil (Heb. 2:14; cf. Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8). God’s adversary may still prowl “like a roaring lion” (1 Pet. 5:8), but his reign will end at the great battle of the final tribulation (Rev. 20:10) or at the Day of Judgment (Matt. 25:41). Meanwhile, believers are warned not to play into the hands of the devil (Eph. 4:2) but to resist his wiles (6:11; cf. 1 Pet. 5:9), and office bearers are exhorted to display kindness to unbelievers in the hope that they may escape from the devil’s tentacles (2 Tim. 2:25–26).

View of the world famous Devil’s Bridge at Pontarfynach (Devils’ Bridge) A series of three bridges built on top of each other over the years, with the lowest dating back to medieval times and the 1901 iron bridge on the top.
Devils Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch located in the Sedona area of the Coconino National Forest in Arizona. Sedona is an Arizona desert town near Flagstaff that’s surrounded by red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls and pine forests. It’s noted for its mild climate and vibrant arts community.

For years, I've wanted to visit Devil's Lake State Park. I've seen countless photos of it and always thought it would be a great place to check out. Last month, I went camping there for a few nights. It was as fun as I was expecting. I hiked up the east bluff three or four times, and the west bluff once. The views are phenomenal. This is a place that doesn't resemble anywhere else in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the majority of my time there was cloudy and rainy, so I didn't get as good of photos as I had hoped.
The park has a few negatives, but only minor. The best trails in the park are paved, unfortunately. I'm not sure why they would ever pave hiking trails, but it was a mistake. On the bright side, ticks were never really a concern. Biking wasn't the greatest with the hilly terrain, but that's something that should be expected in that part of the state. Even so, the positives easily outweigh the negatives, and I hope to visit again some day.
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!
