"On the east coast of island is the famous Devil's Bridge. Devil's Bridge was called so because a lot of slaves from the neighboring estates used to go there and throw themselves overboard. That was an area of mass suicide, so people use to say the Devil have to be there. The waters around Devil's Bridge is always rough and anyone fall over the bridge never come out alive.''
A carnivorous marsupial, the Tasmanian Devil is a stocky, aggressive dog-like creature known for its ferocity. Its population is now limited to the Australian island of Tasmania. Traditionally hunted as pests attacking livestock, the Tasmanian Devil is now endangered, though since protection the biggest threats are vehicular collisions and the devastating Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) which has infected 80% of the population and killed off 70%.

I believe this to be a representation of a Conquistador (from whom the Utes acquired horses). What gives me that impression are the boots and square helmet. I think the artist was trying to convey the metallic nature of the shield and its ability to reflect light as seen as dotted rays radiating off of one side of the shield.

Went to Devils Bridge yesterday but the sun was in a bad position for this shot. I wouldn't recommend 'large' people going there as the turnstiles are really old and hardly any room to get through. Also got ripped off of £2 as it didn't work the one time lol.
It's a shame that most of the woods are covered by trees so wasn't to impressed as a photography place, still can say I've been, seen and done Devils Bridge, one less thing on my 'to photograph' list :)
The story goes that long ago an old woman's cow wandered acros the river, and she wondered how she would ever get the beast back. The devil heard of her predicament and promised that he would build a bridge across the river if the old woman promised that he would get to keep the first living thing to cross the bridge. She agreed, and the devil built a bridge overnight. Well, the old woman was clever; she tossed a loaf of bread across the bridge and her faithful dog dashed across to fetch it. The devil was furious; he had no need of the dog, it was the old woman's soul he was after! He disappeared in a rage. There are now three bridges, stacked one above the other, but the lowest and oldest bridge is said to have been the one built by the devil himself!
In reality the first bridge was built 1075 - 1200 (some reports state in was built by Monks, dated as early as the 800s), and was followed by a second bridge, built on top of the first, about 1753. Finally, an iron bridge was built atop both earlier bridges in 1901.
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.
