Still finding some gems in the old slides. This one's from December of '03. Looking upstream on the Devil's River, north of Comstock, Texas.

The brightly colored pieces of cloth that you find
hanging in some of the trees along the Tower Trail
and elsewhere in the Monument are referred to as
prayer cloths, prayer bundles, prayer ribbons, prayer
ties, and prayer flags. They are physical, symbolic
representations of prayers and are here by American
Indian people as part of their religious ceremonies.
Please do not touch, take, or disturb these prayer
cloths in any way. It is considered culturally
insensitive to photograph these items and we request
that you do not do so.
Devil I bought in 2013 at Milagros in (near) Seattle's Pike Place Market. I had him mailed home. Not putting him on the plane with me.

Tasmanian Devil - Sarcophilus harrisii
The Tasmanian Devil is the second largest carnivorous marsupial in the world, second only to the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, which though considered recently extinct (early 1900s), a very slight possibility of their existence still remains and there are thousands of unconfirmed but reliable sightings since the death of the 'last' Thylacine in 1936 cannot be ignored.
Unfortunately, the Devil too faces extinction. In 1996, the first example of Devil Facial Tumour disease was found on a female devil on the east side of the island. Within 14 years, the 100% fatal cancer has killed more than 95% of the wild Tasmanian Devil population. Because of the Devils aggressive nature towards each other, they will often (particularly when competing for food around a carcass) nip or bite each other. The cancer cells are grafted on to the other devils jaw by the diseased devil during this behaviour, and because of thousands of years of developing on a small, confined island, the genetics are so similar, almost identical, like twins, that the immune system does not realise that the cancer cells are alien. The tumour grows without defiance, and kills the devil within less than a year.
A natural geographical boundary of mountains and rough terrain still remains, however, which acts as a natural fence between the diseased Devils on the east side of the island and the disease free devils on the west side. However, the effectiveness of the geographical fence can not be the only thing that must be depended on to save the devils. Zoos and sanctuaries all over Tasmania and the Mainland have taken in a population of devils for captive breeding programs, to ensure a population fit to restart the species when reintroduced into the Tasmanian wilds. So far there are about 600 in captivity, but at least 1000 will be needed before any hope of a successful reintroduction can even be hoped for.
One of my first genuinely Tasmanian Tasmanian Devils. :) This one was a joey.
A little known fact about the Tasmanian Devil is that for it's size it has the strongest jaws of any animal. When feeding together devils will consume the entire animal, sometimes only leaving a small bit of fur behind. In a Tasmanian Devil feeding scrum the gory sound of bones cracking becomes very regular.
Also, despite what some might say, the Tasmanian Devil is very capable of hunting. It will more often scavenge, as it is far easier for it, but they do have an ability to hunt that is not given enought credit to, however slightly limited it is.
Road trip southwest USA 2014
Day 7 : Spent my afternoon looking for Zebra Slot Canyon. Went left instead of straight, so I took the very wrong way, and walked for about 2h30. Didn't found it obviously, and decided to go back the day after, with some more information about the real trail. I finished the day photographing the sunset at Devils Garden, a cool rock formation not far from Zebra Slot Canyon.

"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. "

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.

Devils Wall.
This is the „Teufelsmauer“, a geologic oddity that can be found near the Harz mountains and near to my stay last weekend. I visited the place before, it's a strange landmark. Weather was great, bot so much the time I got there, but at least some landscape pictures.

Devils@Cradle is great, though small, is great because it shows the visitors how Tasmanian Devils actually interact realisitically, like they're in the wild, around dinner time. Incredibly ferocious, you could acutally hear the bones cracking at they ate this piece of Pademelon roadkill brought in from the National Park roads.
