Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

Wyoming; a natural gorge carved eons ago by the Sweetwater River. This was a major landmark for travelers on the Oregon and Mormon Trails.
Irish / Boston Punk band Street Dogs (lead by Michael McColgan of Dropkick Murphy's fame) performed in Dallas, Texas on 9/28/2010 at The Loft on Lamar Street in Dallas.
They were joined by other bands in the same genre / family: Devil's Brigade, Flatfoot 56 (from Chicago) and Continental.
Devils Wall.
This is the „Teufelsmauer“, a geologic oddity that can be found near the Harz mountains and near to my stay last weekend. I visited the place before, it's a strange landmark. Weather was great, bot so much the time I got there, but at least some landscape pictures.
Just 3 miles east, we stopped at Devil's Hopyard State Park featuring 60ft (20m) high Chapman Falls. Okay, photographing a water fall, I learned, is difficult. One day, I shall tackle it with a tripod and a ND filter (is that right?). This is a minute down the river from the fall.

The Devil's Dyke is a Saxon defensive structure probably dating from the seventh century or so stretching seven miles across the border between East Anglia and Mercia. The ditch would have been filled with brambles, slowing down an invading force significantly.

For the first time, I walked the trail around Devil's Tower, so here are pictures from different angles. (There was no alien landing site on the back side, by the way.)
We took a 1-mile roundtrip detour on our way back home to view Devil's Bathtub. The only other trip I'd made here was on the cross-Rincon hike (11/11/07) when the tub was bone dry. This visit showed that the tub could fill to rival most backyard swimming pools. The deep end looked easily over 10 ft. deep.
Stoney Creek off of Ridge Road
It was warm out today and there was a lot of water running off of the icicles and down into the gorge.
"Devil's Punchbowl is a ribbon waterfall 37 metres (121 feet) in height and a crest width of 3 metres (10 feet). Located at the Devil's Punchbowl Conservation Area in Stoney Creek, the area actually contains two separate falls: the Upper Falls is the classical shape, while the Lower is the ribbon type. Known at one time as Horseshoe Falls, it is the third highest waterfall in Hamilton." www.cityofwaterfalls.ca/devil_punchbowl.html
