When I lived in Seattle and would visit home in the 90's, or would visit Seattle from my hometown, many times I would stop at Devils Tower and do the loop hike around Devils Tower. On this trip I was on my way to visit Seattle, WA.

Finally after about two years I got my Nikon snanner to start working again. More coming.

I really don't understand how such a beautiful spot came to be named "Devil's Punchbowl". There does not seem to be anything particularly evil, malicious or even all that dangerous about this location. If anything it is a picturesque gem of a swimming hole. I had never done the "hike" (more of a walk) out to this spot before but as with any return trip I try to mix in at least one new destination. And while the temperature of the water dissuaded following up any notions of jumping in, the color of said water was enough to persuade us to sit here and linger awhile.

The devils were funny in how sometimes they looked like a big rat like this one. Other times like looked like a bear, or a pig or a dog. But their sounds are clearly devils sounds. Sadly they only live 6-7 years.
Located in eastern Wyoming, Devils Tower stands visibly upright within the rolling hill landscape. It was the central backdrop for the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
This beach is between the beach of Ipanema beach and the Devil's Beach. It is a continuation of Ipanema beach. This place is actually considered a paradise for tourists who often fill the sand especially in the summer.

Devil’s Cornfield

February 2024
Nestled between Stovepipe Wells and Beatty Junction along Highway 190, you'll discover the enigmatic Devil's Cornfield, just a stone's throw east of the Mesquite sand dunes. Here, the landscape is adorned with the distinctive presence of arrowweed (Pluchea sericea), an evergreen plant that weaves tales of its ancient use. Echoing its common name, this remarkable plant once served as the sturdy backbone for crafting arrows by Native Americans, adding a touch of history to the allure of this unique terrain.
As I am trudging thru the jungle, sweat pouring off my face and onto my camouflage, balancing my heavy equipment …. Wait …. Wait …. Wait … This is insane, that’s not me; why would I be in the jungle without a rifle exposing myself to jaguars and panthers or worse, poisonous snakes and spiders? As I slowly awake from this nightmare (caused by sitting in the Adirondack for far too long without a refreshment in sight) I am aware of facing down this squirrel thru my long lens. Reflex takes over and I press the shutter button. And just remember, you saw it here first! Documented proof that squirrels like fruit. You all remember now that tomatoes are a fruit and not a vegetable. I am glad that I am a safe distance away and there is no way that I am tempted to fight this little warrior for the fruit of my wife’s labor. (oh that sentence is just chock-full of metaphors). I have it from someone who has firsthand experience with the viciousness of these creatures. So, the devil in me decides that this is really my wife’s problem and my primary concern should be to replenish my refreshments.
PS: please note how the reflections on the tomato match the reflections in the eye. That took weeks of planning and was quite difficult to visualize while the tomato was ripening. And you guys think I don’t plan my shots …

Another panorama made up of 10 images stitched together. Thought I'd go black and white for this one. Didn't feel the scene needed colour, not that there was much of it anyway - it was pretty monochromatic in all that snow.
Thanks again for the nice messages re: the missing/found files; you're a good bunch!
Can there be anything special about a 1,267 feet 386 m high Rock in the landscape?
Some more information from wikipedia on Devils Tower National Monument :
Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge”) is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,112 feet (1,558 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (5.45 km2).
Tribes including the Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Lakota, and Shoshone had cultural and geographical ties to the monolith before European and early American immigrants reached Wyoming. Their names for the monolith include: Aloft on a Rock (Kiowa), Bear's House (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lair (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lodge (Cheyenne, Lakota), Bear's Lodge Butte (Lakota), Bear's Tipi (Arapaho, Cheyenne), Tree Rock (Kiowa), and Grizzly Bear Lodge (Lakota).
The name Devil's Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard Irving Dodge when his interpreter misinterpreted the name to mean Bad God's Tower. This was later shortened to the Devil's Tower.
The Devils Tower is a small sandstone mountain at the edge of the Elbe canyon in the Saxon Switzerland National park. One of the few mountains the can be seen facing south it seems to be quite a popular milky way spot. Although the light pollution from the nearby cities in the Czech Republic are quite bad nowadays.
The night was pretty short with the milky way only being fully visible from 00:30 to 02:30 - typical summer. About an hour driva and another hour hiking for each of the two directions resulted in a pretty slow office day yesterday.

The Devil's Thumb is the rock tower on the Continental Divide, at 12,150 feet. It is a scenic climbing destinations, with views of both the eastern and western slopes, and a view of Devil's Thumb Lake, 1,000 feet below the summit of the tower.

They call this pool the Devil's Bath, located in Wai-O-Tapu in New Zealand. The color is the result of water mixing with sulphur and ferrous salts. The color changes quite a bit depending on the reflected light and cloud color. I really liked how it photographed with these menacing clouds.

It's been a while since I posted anything (or for that matter even been on Flickr).... just a crazy week, and to be honest I've been in a little bit of a creative funk when it comes to studio stuff. So, I decided tonight to redo an old favourite with a new twist..... the new twist didn't work out the way that I wanted, so we're pretty much left with a carbon copy of the original.... which is OK, I've wanted to try to recreate this shot for a while now.
I probably won't be around much for the next week or two, but hopefully when I'm done this break I'll have some killer vacation shots. ;)
