A large bowl naturally carved in a rock headland which is partially open to the Pacific Ocean. Waves enter the bowl and often violently churn, swirl, and foam.
I had to switch to my super wide-angle lens to capture the entire torrent. While only 89m (262 ft.) high, it seems bigger due to the force of the water, the roar, and the large clouds of mist that rise from the cauldron.
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.
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".
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.

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.

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.
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 …
I always wanted to visit this amazing geological site after watching the movie, Close Encounter of the Third Kind. After driving for almost 400 mi overnight and being disappointed previous evening, i wanted to give it one more shot before giving up photographing this beautiful monument. Next day i woke up around 4 AM; while driving towards the park, i saw the smog caused by forest fire accentuating the beauty of the tower. Got this perfect shot with out much effort.
Rising 1,267 ft above Belle Fourche river, Devils Tower is the first national monument of United States.
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.

This is the 'Mountain Devil' protea. aka: 'Lambertia formosa'
Lambertia formosa, commonly known as 'Mountain Devil', is a shrub of the family Proteaceae, endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It was first described in 1798 by English botanist James Edward Smith.
This one was located along a forest trail in the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden, along Mona Vale Road, at St Ives Chase, in northern Sydney.
For information about 'Lambertia formosa' see the Australian Native Plants Society:

We visited a park called Devils@Cradle Mountain. We saw Tasmanian Devills and Quolls.
Tasmanian Devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world and, for their size, have one of the most powerful bites of any mammal!
Upset a Tasmanian Devil and you’ll quickly learn how it got its name. When threatened, this stocky marsupial is prone to bare its sharp teeth, lunge and growl. This is also part of a typical feeding-time display.
It was this late-night, ‘otherworldly’ howl, heard by early European settlers, which led to its common name.
Tasmanian Devils are the size of a small dog, weighing 4kg to 14kg, and standing about 30cm tall.
Devils have dark brown to black fur (sometimes with a hint of red-brown), with a large white stripe across their breast and the odd spot on their sides. Their faces are compact, with long whiskers, dark eyes and pink on the inner ears.
Like other marsupials, such as Antechinus, they store fat in their tails in times of plenty, to draw on when food is scarce.
The Devil's Water is a tributary of the River Tyne forming on moorland to the south of Hexham and joining the Tyne just to the west of Corbridge.
Near the point at which it meets the Tyne, the river is crossed by a relatively unremarkable railway bridge which carries the Newcastle to Carlisle railway. Here an unidentified class 158 unit rattles over at speed with a Carlisle to Newcastle service.

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.
Devils Postpile is an unusual landmark located near Mammoth Mountain in eastern California. The hexagonal columns are a result of volcanic activity
Things are a little easier with my daughter at the moment and thank you for all your kind wishes. I hope to start catching up with you all very soon.
Yesterday I had the chance to go out to the Devil's Dyke near Brighton. The 300 ft deep V shaped valley in the South Downs was caused by melting snow waters forming rivers after the last ice age and it makes for an impressive sight and invigorating walking. If you look very carefully, you may see some of the dog walkers at the bottom of the valley.
The piece of concrete to the right is the remains of some long forgotten building, parts of which can be found scattered down the slopes and in the valley itself.
