Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (264 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,558 m) above sea level. (9/28/2024)

Weddersleben/Harzmountains
The Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall) is a rock formation made of hard sandstones of the Upper Cretaceous in the northern part of the Harz Foreland in central Germany. This wall of rock runs from Blankenburg (Harz) via Weddersleben and Rieder to Ballenstedt. The most prominent individual rocks of the Teufelsmauer have their own names. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben is also called the Adlersklippen ("Eagle Crags").
While walking the Devils Postpile Upper Trail with a view looking to the southwest across the hexagonal patterns with its columnar basalt. My thinking in composing this image was to make more of a layered approach with the nearby overlook that then lead to a more distant mountainside. As the skies above were mainly overcast with forest fire haze, I worked the angle on my Nikon SLR camera to have the surrounding landscape filling most of the image while minimizing what I felt was a negative space with the skies above.
I know Devil's Garden is one of those "over-photographed" places. But on our way to Coyote Gulch a few months ago we saw these sweet clouds in the sky and Devil's Garden happened to be right there. So we pulled off and grabbed this shot. Happy Friday!
Devils Tower is a butte standing 1267 feet above the Belle Fourche River Valley in the Black Hills area of northeast Wyoming. It used to be buried, but erosion removed the softer rock around it, revealing this amazing formation. The tower became the nation's first National Monument in 1906.
The tower is a sacred place for several Native American tribes, and there are lots of legends about it. One story is that it was created by a giant bear that clawed grooves in the side of a mountain while chasing Indian maidens.
This photo was taken on slide film in 2004 and scanned as part of my project to digitize my old photos.
I think this place really deserves a monument status despite Devil's Postpile National Monument has stolen all the fame to the west of Mammoth Lakes. They were all resulted from the same volcanic eruption over hundred thousands years ago. Here 'a an extract from Atlas Obsura describing the process of creating such interesting column formation: "As the colossal torrents of lava washed over the built up ash it baked the ash to a layer of stone in an instant. Now after millennia of erosion from wind and water the bottom layer and the top layer of cooled lava can be clearly seen, taking the form of rocky waves bisected by a dividing line. In certain sections along the tuff, the stone has turned into bulbous columns known as degassing pipes creating a veritable forest of oddly shaped stone"
Devils Garden in Arches National Park is one of the premier locations in the park. Here you’ll find arches, spires, and a large concentration of narrow rock walls called “fins.” Fins form when rainwater erodes parallel fractures caused by the uplift of salt deposits below the surface. Fins eventually erode and give way to the formation of arches

An large space of common salt scoured by wind and rain into jagged spires. Therefore improbably saw-toothed that "only the devil may play golf on such rough links. Listen rigorously and you will hear feels like small pops and pings - the sound is virtually billions of small salt crystals detonating apart as they expand and accept the warmth.
OK, it is not an island. But anyone who doesn't know this place can imagine that it is. The thing is that this image for me *needed* to be titled as the brutal Megadeth song from 1986.

BURGOYNE.
(sympathetically). Now there, Mr. Anderson, you talk like a civilian, if you will excuse my saying so. Have you any idea of the average marksmanship of the army of His Majesty King George the Third? If we make you up a firing party, what will happen? Half of them will miss you: the rest will make a mess of the business and leave you to the provo-marshal’s pistol. Whereas we can hang you in a perfectly workmanlike and agreeable way. (Kindly) Let me persuade you to be hanged, Mr. Anderson?
JUDITH.
(sick with horror). My God!
RICHARD.
(to Judith). Your promise! (To Burgoyne) Thank you, General: that view of the case did not occur to me before. To oblige you, I withdraw my objection to the rope. Hang me, by all means.
BURGOYNE.
(smoothly). Will 12 o’clock suit you, Mr. Anderson?
RICHARD.
I shall be at your disposal then, General.
The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. It was formerly present across mainland Australia, but became extinct there around 3,500 years ago; it is now confined to the island of Tasmania. (Wikipedia)
The Pont del Diable is a medieval bridge crossing the river Llobregat connecting Martorell and Castellbisbal in Catalonia, Spain. It was constructed in 1283 on foundations of an older Roman bridge.
In the background the mountain of Montserrat is shrouded in cloud.
Death Valley is such an inhospitable place that early explorers named many features after the devil. These approximately 6-foot-tall clumps of arrowweed were perhaps mistaken in the shimmering heat for corn shocks left to dry after harvest. The incessant wind blows the sand away from the root of the arrowweed, leaving the plant on a pedestal of roots and dirt. The native Americans used the stems of the plant for arrows.
