Devils Tower ✨
Native Americans (Lakota and Cheyenne) call it: Matȟó Thípila "Home of the Bear"
(Wyoming)
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.
I think this frozen waterfall at Devil's Punchbowl looks like a wedding dress. Can't tell very well but this is a tall falls (37m or 121 ft). The falls is frozen from top to bottom creating an ice volcano. Near the top its cracked allowing water to escape down the sides. It was very cold standing there.

One of Australia's most iconic reptiles, the spike-covered Thorny Devil lives in the hot arid interior of the country. These lizards jerk as they move along the sand dunes, feeding on thousands of ants per day.
Thorny Devils are so specialised for life in the desert, that they can lay in any dew they come across and absorb water through capillary action to their mouth via grooves in their scales!
A 2 shot pano of Cwm Idwal looking over into the Devil's Kitchen. I really wanted a still calm lake but that was never going to happen!
All of these very hot flaming projects originated from my June 2022 campfires then worked into what you see....Enjoy the dancing flames !

After plunging over the side of the cliff and into the caldron, Rio Verde flows swiftly down this steep crevasse to Rio Pastaza. Even though the observation platform with the two peoples at least 100 ft. (33m)above the caldron, it's impossible to go there without getting soaked from the heavy mist.
Located near Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador, Devil Falls (Pailón del Diablo) is the tallest cascade in Ecuador at 262 feet (80 meters) high. It's formed where Rio Verde plunges into the massive canyon formed by Rio Pastaza on the eastern slope of the Andes. Rio Verde narrows suddenly and all the water is forced through a narrow rock chute so that it is hurled with great force at an angle over the side of the cliff into the caldron below where it continues down a steep crevasse to Rio Pastaza. Rio Pastaza is the traditional gateway into the Amazon basin that begins in eastern Ecuador. It was known to the earliest Spanish colonizers who formed multiple expeditions to find the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. Many died trying without ever finding the city, of course.
The Ferreres Aqueduct, also known as the Pont del Diable ("Devil's Bridge"), is an ancient bridge, part of the Roman aqueduct built to supply water to the ancient city of Tarraco, today Tarragona in Catalonia, Spain.
Devils Dyke was a defensive ditch built by the Catuvellauni tribe who were a powerful tribe at the time when Caesar first explored these shores.. It was built to protect a large
fortified iron age settlement which would of stood on the left hand side facing.
It has been said that Julius Caesar and his army came here and defeated the British King Cassivellaunus in 54BC.This location is a short distance away from Wheathampstead Hertfordshire. The Dyke itself is an attractive peaceful walk now, a far cry from Caesars battle to take out local armed resistance

The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. It was once native to mainland Australia and was only found in the wild on the island state of Tasmania. It has now been reintroduced to New South Wales with a small breeding population.
This is the Devils Tower in the Black Hills. Yes, no apostrophe “s.” Aside from the poor grammar of its name, it was never actually supposed to be its name. Some fat, old, white military dude in 1875 must have had his wooden AirPods in, because the dude misinterpreted the name the Native Americans had given it. He somehow had the translation all screwed up from what it was actually called (Bear’s House/Lodge/Tipi/etc depending on the tribe) and thought it was “Bad God’s Tower.” So he was like ok sweet, let’s call this thing Devils Tower… and forgot the apostrophe “s” because his grammar was as piss-poor as mine is.
I just posted all of my 2022 storm-chase photos on my website. Consider check them out if you like severe storms… hopefully you’ll like at least two of them.
Anyway, thanks for scrolling far enough to see my dumb little picture. If you are interested in seeing how I create my dumb little pictures you can head to www.ryandyar.com or check out the link in my profile.
Entering the Cairngorm Mountains from Highland Perthshire this is one of the most gorgeous routes you can take, a nice wee change from the more rugged looking mountains of the west of Scotland.
In 1906 President Teddy Roosevelt designated Devils Tower as our 1st national monument. The tower was formed by magma which cooled underground and was later exposed after millions of years of erosion.
Totally magnificent sight out there rising above the rolling hills...Close Encounters of the Third Kind to be sure!
