Prepared controlled fire burn today at Devils Tower.
Taken with drone outside of National Monument.
Photographed 17Oct2017
I've had this idea for a long time.
and here's something to answer your question about this photo:
Yes, that is the Wiccan/Pagan pentacle.
Yes, I know it is not evil or has anything to do with the devil.
Yes, I am Wiccan. and damn proud.
And yes, I know the cross is a Christian symbol.
I took this shot because people are ignorant and do not understand other religions. They think the pentacle has something to do with the devil, and it does not.
So about the photo. The cross is not the background-ish area, and the pentacle is before it. I used macro so the cross is meant to be blurred.
I am sorry if I offended anyone, but this interpert this as you'd like and let me know what you think.
Enjoy!

The moral theology of the devil starts out with the principle: “Pleasure is sin.” The he goes on to work it the other way: “All sin is pleasure.”
After that he points out that pleasure is practically unavoidable and that we have a natural tendency to do things that please us, from which he reasons that all our natural tendencies are evil and that our nature is evil in itself. And he leads us to the conclusion that no one can possibly avoid sin, since pleasure is inescapable.
After that, to make sure that no one will try to escape or avoid sin, he adds that what is unavoidable connot be a sin. Then the whole concept of sin is thrown out the window as irrelevant, and people decide that there is nothing left except to live for pleasure, and in that way pleasures that are naturally good become evil by de-ordination and lives are thrown away in unhappiness and sin.
Thomas Merton, The Moral Theology of the Devil
The name ‘Devil’s Hole’ is a dramatic one but was only invented in the 19th century.
Formerly it was called ‘Le Creux de Vis’ or Spiral Cave on the island of Jersey.
One possible derivation for its modern name is connected with the shipwreck of a French boat in 1851.
Its figurehead was thrust by the tide straight into the hole and a local sculptor transformed the torso into a wooden devil, complete with horns.
Today this devil’s metal replica stands in a pool on the way down to the crater, lending a peculiarly supernatural atmosphere to the winding path down to the Devil’s Hole itself.
A rather evil looking cat, was a lucky capture as he didnt stay ontop of that gravestone long once I started approaching him with my shorter lens.
Opened in 1852, the Devil's Island system received convicts from the Prison of St-Laurent-du-Maroni. All had been deported from all parts of the Second French Empire, and was infamous for its harsh treatment of detainees, with a death rate of 75% at their worst, until it was closed down in 1953.
I think this is a devil scorpionfish rather than a stonefish.
Most of the time devil scorpionfish ( like stonefish) lie immobile and are so well camoflaged they are not easily noticed. They are ambush predators which lunge at passing fish and gulp them down.
If threatened they will erect a row of venomous spines along their back. (It seems the venom of the devil scorpionfish may be less painful and dangerous than that of the stonefish but I have no wish to test that out).
