Devil's Tower National Monument, Wyoming, April 1998.
Smoke above the trees is from a forest fire, which may have been a controlled burn.

I see her walk into the room
With an evil smile curved like lace
She felt my pain inside
Jabbed and stabbed at my problems I couldn't face,
Just to see me cry.
She tells me that she loves me more now
But it doesn't really show
I wanted to get up and walk away leaving her
But I just couldn't let her go.
I tell her that I need her, want her,
She sighs looks away from me
Tells me to make a promise
Not just make-believe.
She tells me that she's a devil
A devil in disguise
An angelic hell-bound evil
That will steal my soul and hang me out to dry.

Tintern Abbey from the 'Devil's Pulpit' - a small rocky outcrop that overlooks the abbey. According to local legend, the Devil used to preach from the outcrop and attempt to seduce the abbey's monks away from Christianity.
This little explosion of colour is called the #devilsbit or Succisa pratensis. Standing tall on its stem the closed buds, I thought looked like purple raspberries popping up in the grass.
A little random note - Historically used to treat skin infections like Bubonic plague.

Dubbed a "Mini Bryce Canyon", this Devil's Kitchen is a redrock scar in the rolling green landscape.

As I was heading out to visit some areas we stopped at Devils Tower to grab a few shots. It had been raining a good amount so we kept moving but it was a cool sight to see.
Thanks to those that commented on the picture that was here, but has now been deleted. Something about it wasn't right, and it was bothering me, so it has been relegated. It may get promoted again if I can work out what was wrong.
Here is one I am happy with. It's not brilliant, but it is all that it is ever going to be.
As with all these neolithic folly's, function is unknown. I reckon it probably had something to do with nookie, but I am no expert. They are however right next to the A1, so they might be stone age road signs of some sort.
There are three of these that I could see, but access is difficult so you only get one.
Here is what Julian Cope has to say about them (for he knows about these things):
"Their name, as the Devil's Arrows, seems to have originated from the following story, which we had related to us by an hoary headed individual living in Boroughbridge, when soliciting information as to their history:
"There lived a very pious old man {a Druid should we imagine} who was reckoned an excellent cultivator of the soil. However, during each season at the time his crops had come to maturity they were woefully pillaged by his surrounding neighbours; so that at this, he being provokingly grieved*, the Devil appeared, telling the old man if he would only recant and throw away his holiness he should never more be disturbed in his mind, or have whatever he grew stolen or demolished.
The old man, like Eve in the garden, yielded to temptation, and at once obeyed the impulse of Satan for the benefit of worldly gain. So when the old man's crops were again being pillaged, the Devil threw from the infernal regions some ponderous arrows, which so frightened the plunderers by shaking the earth that never more was he harrassed in that way. Hence the name of the 'Devil's Arrows."

Devils Island is part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior in Ashland County, near the city of Bayfield and is the northernmost point in Wisconsin. First lit in 1901, the 80' white iron tower at the northern end of the island is topped with a third-order Fresnel lens and continues to this day to be an active aid to navigation. When it was first built the tower was a cylindrical tube, with short buttresses attached to its base. It was soon discovered that high winds caused the tower to shake violently, and the present exterior braces were put in place in 1914. Devils Island eventually became the last manned station in the Apostle Islands. This era finally ended in 1978 when the Devils Island Light was automated as well, marking the end of over a century of lightkeepers tending lights in the Apostle Islands. Devils Island is accessible only by boat and the station retains its fog signal building, oil houses and two brick Queen Anne keeper's dwellings.

Devil Christmas bauble.

Such a jolly bauble! :-)
We were able to see a couple of mountain lakes while in the Bend, Oregon area. This is Devil's Lake and we explored it for a few moments before going on to Sparks Lake.
This crater is located in the Wai O Tapu thermal area just outside Rotorua on New Zealand’s North Island. The surreal colour of the hot water is caused by the presence of sulphur and ferrous salts.
It's always such a damp place the Devil's Glen in Ashford, County WIcklow or maybe it only seems that way because I tend to go there when it's raining too heavily to go elsewhere in Wicklow. But its narrow valley and tree cover does help keep the heavy rain off although it can leave the air chilly. The abundance of water makes it very green and it's one of only a few deciduous woods in Wicklow - lots of hazelnuts in late summer. The path on the left brings you to an impassable waterfall, a fall of about 40ft, which is impressive to see.

Devils Tower, known to Native Americans as Bear's Lodge, stands tall above the Black Hills of eastern Wyoming and draws large crowds year round to admire the magnificent and sacred rock formation. While its origins are disputed, Devils Tower reaches 1,267 feet into the air and has stood for millions of years. In 1906 President Theodore Roosevelt designated Bear Lodge as the first ever national monument in the United States.

Devils Tower (Lakota: Matȟó Thípila ("Bear Lodge") or Ptehé Ǧí ("Brown Buffalo Horn") (Arapaho: Wox Niiinon [4]) is an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha).
In recent years, about 1% of the Monument's 400,000 annual visitors climb Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.[5]
