Skate egg cases, aka "devil's wheelbarrows" (at least that's what my father calls them), taken in Virginia, U.S.A.
The Devils Postpile is an amazing sight. I could attempt to write a description of how this formation was created, but you'd be better off checking out this link.
For a scale, check out the size of the trees. These are huge columns of rock.
Help save the Tasmanian Devil from the devastating effects of the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a unique contagious cancer, spread by biting, which is consistently fatal. The Tasmanian devil is now listed as an Endangered Species.

Lots of problems with this shot but I liked the composition. One of those great in theory shots.
Taken at Worm's head, Rhossili, Gower, Wales, UK.
No graphics please.
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.
The reflective surfaces are not textures!
Mumixer had pointed me in the direction of Devil's Moon a few weeks ago but with one thing and another I only made it out there today - and fell flat on my face so to speak: I was always under the impression that reflections and reflectivity is beyond the scope of present day real time render. So, how on earth did they achieve this? And why does it create no lag whatsoever? I took a lot of screenshots, some from the exact same location at slight angle variations since I want my computer scientist colleague, Selim to take a look at these and tell me what the hell is going on here...
Beautiful SIM too btw, but quite frankly the technology had me so gobsmacked that I couldn't really take much else in. Will go back for sure.
6 hours later:
ahum... Mossy put me wise: It is an extremely clever design trick: They did the entire architecture twice, one being the perpendicular mirror image of the other and then interleaved it with those transparent textures.
jeez... am i embarrassed or what?
The Childrens Graveyard on the Island of Royale. Most of the Children died of Childhood diseases. Emilien was 27 months when he died in 1906
I'm the devil, or I'm wearing a scary hockey mask from Kingdom of Loathing that has horns. The Office Space reference is nice.
Devils Tower is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge ... Devils Tower was the first United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. .... a prime example being the columnar “hoodoo” formations at Bryce Canyon National Park.
An unusual geologic formation in the Eastern Sierra, the Devil's Postpile is a major attraction for the area.
