Tasmanian Devil
Characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate amongst the strongest bite per unit body mass of any extant mammal land predator, and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are living nearby. Despite its rotund appearance, the devil is capable of surprising speed and endurance, and can climb trees and swim across rivers.
Devil's Monument, a tower of limestone eroded by wind, is all but obscured by trees on the shore of Dyer's Bay, Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, Ontario.
This is Devils Churn on the Oregon coast. A channel has been eroded from the basalt from constant wave action that pulses through it. I am told that the collection of debris including sea shells, crustacians, kelp and God know what else, is ground against the rocks and forms a thick soup which looks like butter floating on the sea. Thus the name Devils Churn.

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.

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 Devils Backbone is a large vertical wall of dark andesite about 305m in length and 15m wide at its widest point. It was formed when lava forced its way up cracks and filled them, remaining standing when the rest of the formation had eroded away.

I brought a few puzzles back from the recent meeting, but my eye was caught by the comment on the lid of this KMH puzzle: 'A perfect devil!'
We'll see...
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.

Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve is located 105 km (65 mi) south of Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Australia and 393 km (244 mi) north of Alice Springs. The nearest settlement is the small town of Wauchope located 9 km (5.6 mi) to the south.
The Devils Marbles are of great cultural and spiritual significance to the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land, and the reserve protects one of the oldest religious sites in the world as well as the natural rock formations found there. Karlu Karlu is the local Aboriginal term for both the rock features and the surrounding area. The Aboriginal term translates as round boulders and refers to the large boulders found mainly in the western side of the reserve.
