Chapman Falls, Devil's Hopyard State Park, East Haddam, Connecticut, USA
Chapman Falls is one of Connecticut's most beloved waterfalls, as well as the aesthetic centerpiece of Devil's Hopyard State Park in East Haddam. But how is a landscape photographer supposed to make an original statement at such a heavily-photographed landmark? In Devil's Coils, I let this whirlpool streak across the frame in broad arcs that guide us to the foot of the falls where the drifting foam is churned out of furious whitewater.

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.

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.
Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii). This little guy was running around its enclosure at Healesville Sanctuary. Looks cute and fluffy...

Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

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).
I stopped on the way down the hill to get this shot, is was not easy as I was taking the picture straight into the sun. There is a valley that runs all the way to the top and its really steep as you wil see from my other pictures, when I was a kid I had a really speedy pony that I would often have trouble stopping and I would gallop her flat out to the top and it was the only place she would run out of puff at by the time we got to the top. Happy childhood memorys.
