Devil's Pool is the name of the restaurant where this picture was taken. However, it is the name given to the local area by indians who found a spring that was so deep they thought it originated in Hell. The spring has since been flooded by Table Rock Lake but the water flow can still be seen.
Datura fastuosa (or metel) = Devil's trumpet, Purple Hindu Datura, Jimson weed, burladora, downy thorn-apple
This native to India plant is toxic, most parts of the plant contain Alkaloids...
Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. At full flood, the water appears almost like a single sheet of water cascading over the gorges, but we were there at the end of dry season and the waterfall comes down in various streams across the width of the gorge. This stream, if I'm not mistaken, is the Devil's Cataract, which is westernmost stream in Zimbabwe and the first part of the falls we saw in the park.
Taken on a particularily well-lit afternoon walk on Devils Peak - think it was the combination of late-afternoon sun and the brisk, clear air.
Livingstone Island, Zambia
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls.
During the drier months of the year, May to October, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop.
Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.
You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls.
A tribute to my friends at Devil's Canyon Brewery in Belmont, CA.
I took one of their glasses and mounted it on my sliding glass rig. The rig stops abruptly splashing the beer.
Strobist info;
- The rig is sound activated using a Quaketronics flash controller.
- SB-800 flash set behind a custom built acrylic diffusion screen.
- Used two posterboard screens in front to highlight the logo (I only had one flash at the time).
Amber brew this time -- looks like an ear (huh?).
Devils Hole", Jersey, Channel Islands
Following a shipwreck in 1851, when's a ship's figurehead washed up in the Devil's Hole, a statue of a devil adapted from the figurehead was set up above the Hole. The wooden statue was replaced by a succession of modern versions in the 20th century.
Soooo I'm in Colorado. Arrived yesterday and drove up to Estes Park by myself to hike and relax and distract my mind before my interviews tomorrow. After two gorgeous hikes in almost white-out conditions, I headed back to Denver on US 34, Big Thompson Canyon, the bestest way to get to and from Estes Park.
Just before getting to Loveland, there's a striking rock feature that sticks up in the middle of grasslands. It's called Devil's Backbone and I've always wanted to stop. So today I did. And it's really cool! I didn't explore much because it was getting late, but the ridges are pretty sweet. Also the howling coyotes really started to creep me out.
On to tomorrow.... (starting to get nervous!)
Lots more pictures too, eventually :)

This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!

Crazy way to sell lightbulbs!

Devil’s Dice deliver big riffs, melodic twin lead guitars, soaring vocals and catchy choruses that evoke memories of the greats like Judas Priest, Thin lizzy and AC?DC.
The Devils Glen is outside Ashford, Wicklow and the waterfall is at the end of a forest walk along the river.
After we left Mt. Rushmore, we made the beautiful backcountry drive up above Moorcroft, Wyoming - passing through towns like Hulett (pop. 10 as I recall), Alva, and Aladdin to the amazing Devil's Tower. We got there with about 30 minutes of daylight left so not a lot of time to make images - plus it was raining somewhat.
For this image of a longhorn steer and the tower itself, I stood along a barbed-wire fenceline, camera on tripod with umbrealla in my left hand. About three shots into this endeavor, the steer turned and showed me his backside until I gave up. A shy longhorn - go figure.
The Tower - by the way - is so amazing. A magma plug if you will - it used to be completely surrounded by earth. Amazing what a couple million years can do to erase all that and just leave this stellar monument behind.
