At Nelson Ledges State Park there is a cave near to the main waterfall called "Devils Icebox." It's a beautiful little spot, and it makes for a nice cool down on the hotter summer days..they don't call it the icebox for no reason! It attracts two types of people: Photographers, and stoners. So if your lucky enough to catch it empty of smoke, you can draw up some pretty great shots inside!
For the record, this was taken with a Nikon D80. Not sure why it was posted as a Powershot!

Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The name Devil's Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard Irving Dodge when his interpreter misinterpreted the name to mean Bad God's Tower. This was later shortened to the Devil's Tower. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,112 feet (1,558 m) above sea level.

I love my devil bunny.
Several years ago I spotted him at the market on Portobello Road - it was love at first sight. But everyone else thought he was nasty & horrible and the big meanies finally persuaded me not to get him. I didn't forget, however, and reminded the others on a regular basis just how rotten they were to have denied me my devil bunny.
Exactly one year later, we were back at Portobello Road: same crowd, same hangovers etc etc. And there he was! My devil bunny had waited for me! It was obviously meant to be - so I scooped him up & brought him home & he's been giving Scott the eye ever since.
I love my devil bunny.

Old Town is crisscrossed with miles of underground tunnels--the remains of ancient Lviv. Some items found here include prisoner restraints and instruments of torture. The vast majority of these tunnels and caves aren't open for exploration, but it's possible to check out the longest of Lviv's underground medieval streets via an excursion through St. Peter and Paul Church of the Jesuit Order.
One legend tied in with these underground tunnels is the Legend of the Black Monk. A boastful monk was locked in one of the vault's cells as punishment for his arrogance. A pale man in a black robe entered the church and persuaded the Jesuits to let him visit the monk and talk some sense into him. They were overhead arguing and then there was silence. When the Jesuits went into the cell, they found that both man had vanished and in the corner of the cell was a small parchment which featured a contract signed in blood. The monk had offered up his soul to the devil for an undisclosed sum in order to win his freedom. Lviv's legal records have a copy of the contract.
Ahh the best moment of school Purim Party! The Devil gets to meet a devoted Metalhead!!!!
Esther is that metalhead, and the best part of her costume, is that this is what she wore outside of school. Not this dressed up, but still.
Still, the Devil was so happy, She gave Esther a big hug! Esther turned down the offers of gold, evil minion protectors, and the power to set people on fire. She's always been a good person, so she didn't want any of that.
They discussed Old Metallica vs. The New Metallica of the day.
Truly a great moment in human-devil relations.

"Hickory Horned Devil
Citheronia regalis (Fabricius)
This caterpillar is the larva of the Royal Walnut Moth, also known as the Regal Moth. The larva is not one for a timid person to suddenly discover. It has a scary, frightful appearance resembling a small dragon with up to five pairs of long, curving hornlike structures over the back of its thorax with the rest of the body covered with shorter spikes. The body color ranges from deep blue-green to tan with orange spikes tipped with black. Shorter spikes are black. Though very ferocious appearing, it is quite harmless to handle. They are enormous in size, being five to six inches long and nearly 3/4-inch in diameter. They feed for a period of 37 to 42 days on the leaves of hickory, walnut, butternut, pecan, ash, lilac, persimmon, sycamore, sumac and sweet gum. Larvae mature in late summer, wandering around searching for a place to burrow underground to pupate. Overwintering occurs in the pupal stage.
The moth has a wingspan of five to six inches and is seen in midsummer. It has a long body covered with orange yellow hair. The forewings are gray with orange veins and yellow spots. The hindwings are primarily orange with scattered yellow patches. "

At some places the bed of the dry lake is a sandy salty flat. But at other places the repeated (rare) arrival of a little rain followed by immediate evaporation results in a surface that looks like it was once a muddy field churned up by giant horse. The dried clods are covered in salt crystals which will dissolve in the next rain and re-crystallize

Devils Tower National Monument, a geologic wonder steeped in Indian legend, is a modern day national park, climbers' challenge, and is remembered as the movie location for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." The Tower is a solitary stump-shaped granite formation that looms 1,267 above the Belle Fourche River valley, like a skyscraper in the country. The 865-foot sheer rock faces of the Tower are the preiminent challenge in the Black Hills for mountain climbers.

Devils Tower is located in the northeast corner of Wyoming approximately 70 miles northeast of Gillette off Interstate 90.
This was one of the few places that I have taken a photo from the highway leading to it, instead of going into the park itself. Could not see how I,d get a better photo than this. Did I make a mistake by not going into the park or was it better to shoot a photo and move on ?
Liked this version of the why......... by the Native Americans.
Another version tells that two Sioux boys wandered far from their village when Mato the bear, a huge creature that had claws the size of teepee poles, spotted them, and wanted to eat them for breakfast. He was almost upon them when the boys prayed to Wakan Tanka the Creator to help them. They rose up on a huge rock, while Mato tried to get up from every side, leaving huge scratch marks as he did. Finally, he sauntered off, disappointed and discouraged. The bear came to rest east of the Black Hills at what is now Bear Butte. Wanblee, the eagle, helped the boys off the rock and back to their village. A painting depicting this legend by artist Herbert A. Collins hangs over the fireplace in the visitor's center at Devils Tower.
