Devil's Postpile, an example of columnar jointing in basalt. These unusual, symmetrical columns were formed by joints that developed when a river of molten lava contracted as it cooled slowly and evenly. The flow occurred nearly 100,000 years ago. The formation was exposed through erosion by glaciers and San Joaquin River. Devil's Postpile National Monument. Madera Co., Calif.
Devil's Gap is a Natural Pass through which the Northern Extensions Railway was built in 1875. To-day this natural rock-cut still in use by the CNR, can be seen from looking west from Highway 11, just south of the Muskoka Store, about 5 kilometers south of Gravenhurst.
The Tasmanian Devil is endemic to Tasmania [Australia] and the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) has had a devasting impact on their population.
16th December 2007. I volunteered on the Corinna/Savage River 'Devil' monitoring trip.
Alex - female weighed 6.2kg, born 2005. Had 4 active teats. Showed no signs of DFTD.
The Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment continues to monitor the population and research DFTD.

The Devil's Chimney is a limestone rock formation that stands above a disused quarry on Leckhampton Hill, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
It is named for its peculiar shape, that of a crooked and twisted chimney rising from the ground. It is a local landmark, but its origins are uncertain. In 1926 it survived an earthquake, but not without a few cracks. In 1985 it was repaired and protected from further erosion.
Legend holds that the Devil's Chimney is the chimney of the Devil's dwelling deep beneath the ground. Supposedly the Devil, provoked by the many Christian churches of the area, would sit atop Leckhampton Hill and hurl stones at Sunday churchgoers. However the stones were turned back on him, driving him beneath the ground and trapping him there so he could not further harass the villagers. Now he uses the mass of stones as his chimney to let free the smokes of hell.
In the past, when the “chimney” was accessible, visitors would leave a coin on top of the rock as payment to the Devil in exchange for his staying in his underground home and not leaving to create mischief and spread evil in the local area.
The 19th-century geologist S. Buckman suggested that the strange shape of the Devil's Chimney could be put down to differential erosion, involving the softer outer rock being worn away to leave only the inner harder rock remaining. However, this would require some explanation of why there was a column of harder rock there in the first place.
The truth is probably that the Devil's Chimney was left behind by 18th-century quarry workers, who quarried around it as a joke.

Here are the raw inks for my Devil Dinosaur piece.
I'm not too sure on how the Volcano and smoke trail are treating the overall composition. There is a goddam volcano in every DD background so I figured it would be a crime to not include one.
The smoke may have to be simplified in order to not distract to much from the serene moment between DD and Moon-boy. We'll see.
I'm often surprised by how an awkward composition can be take on a completely different feel once you've colored it.
Staff's and Worcester Canal close to Stourton Junction not sure where the name comes from. Canal is overgrown with trees the sun was just lighting the rocks.

Taken at a bike rally. Wish it were a little more clear. The smoke is from a biker in the backgroud doing a burnout.
From the Black Hills Photo Shootout 2012. My first photo workshop. Beautiful, cool still morning with great skies. Clouds cleared up not much later and the afternoon was quite warm.
The rock arch known as Devil's Bridge was only a short walk from the entrance to Hammock Cove Resort & Spa, which is where we stayed for the week.

A train I had to shoot in the Guild's Lake Rail Yard. A bit hard to get a good shot because it was sandwiched by cars on either side. Sick writing!

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
