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.

Emerging Devil"s Fingers, New Forest, a new spot in the woods where these strange fungus are appearing this year .
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.
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.
It was for a second...I saw the shadow on the road and pressed the shutter release button!
Original frame, no crop :)
I added some fill light (ok not some...near %100), some contrast (near %100) and some recover (near %100) :))) but, as it was an uncompressed RAW file of 15 mb...it handled all of my extreme processes successfully...and here is the result :)
Shadow of The Devil ;)
My take on the Devil's Golfcourse. An often over-photographied piece of Death Valley landscape. This image is actually done almost entirely in-camera, including the red sky (with a filter).
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]

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.

In 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt named Devils Tower the nation's first national monument.. It is the 867' high core of an igneous intrusion (magma which cooled underground) exposed from millions of years of erosion by the Belle Fourche river and the weather. The tower and base rise 1267' above the surrounding plain in the Black Hills, with the summit at 5114' above sea level. The dramatic ending of the 1978 movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was filmed at Devils Tower. About 5000 climbers from all over the world attempt to get to the top of the tower. It is a sacred place for the Lakota and other plains Indian tribes and there is a voluntary climbing ban in June, which most follow, out of respect for American Indian beliefs.
this picture was shot close to a restaurant which is called devil`s kitchen...we used different kinds of lights to get those effects...
thx to my buddies it was such a great time!!!
thx for choosing me as a contact and commenting my pictures!!!!
When we took the first photos the sun was still setting but then I realized my wireless trigger had not worked because the range was too far, so we had to go back wait in line and the sun had already set. Thank god for Ai noise reduction.
The species is from the southern hemisphere and was first discovered in Britain in 1914. The devil’s fingers fungus hatches from a slimy, gelatinous ‘egg’. As it grows, the tentacle-like arms start to protrude. The bright red colour of this fungus makes it easy to spot although it is fairly rare in the UK. Related to the stinkhorns it has a strong and unpleasant smell.
This fungus smells like rotting flesh which attract insects to arms where the spores are found. The spores are then spread by the visiting insects.
