You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise
**Elvis Presley**
“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli

Established in 1911 by presidential proclamation, Devils Postpile National Monument protects and preserves the Devils Postpile formation, the 101-foot high Rainbow Falls, and pristine mountain scenery. The formation is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet high and display an unusual symmetry.
Freeze-thaw cycles help break apart the columns. Earthquakes knock columns down into the talus slope below. But no force has left a greater footprint on the Postpile than that of glaciers. In fact, we wouldn’t even see the beautifully straight hexagonal columns hidden within the depths of the lava flow had glaciers not excavated the formation.

The Devil’s bridge is an old ottoman bridge in Bulgaria which connected Thrace with Aegean Sea. It was built by a Bulgarian builder named Dimitar between 1515 and 1518 in order of sultan Selim I. The Bulgarian name of this bridge is “Дяволски мост” (Diavolski most – Devil’s bridge) and the Turkish name is Şeytan Köprüsü. Now this bridge isn’t close to any main roads and it is only a memory for old great times.
The Devil’s Bridge is located near the town of Ardino and the village of Dyadovtsi in the Rhodope mountains, southeastern Bulgaria. See the precise location.
The legend of the Devil’s bridge
Now let’s go back to the XVI century and our builder Dimitar. Until then all bridges built on that place had been destroyed by the rough Arda River and most of the people believed that this place had been cursed. But despite the curse Dimitar decided to try to make another bridge.
Thereupon the Devil appeared to our hero and offered him to reveal the secret for building the bridge. But the Devil had some requirements (the things with small letters in the contract): to inwall the shadow of his wife (that means that the wife will die soon after building the bridge, it is common story in Bulgarian legends), to build it in 40 days, and some other easy tasks like these. Anyway the most interesting requirement for us was that the Devil wanted his own image to be integrated in the bridge. But it was very complicated. He wanted to be both visible and invisible, both touchable and non-existing. If the builder could not do it, the Devil would take his soul as well. About the wife – she was a victim in any case, her soul was already taken.
But Dimitar was able to surprise even the Devil. He was ready in 40 days, the Satan had its requirements fulfilled and left with only one soul – the wife’s one. But his face was staying forever above Arda River thanks to Dimitar the builder. Thx to www.andrey-andreev.com/en/the-devils-bridge/
Nearly lost a bagful of camera accessories here as a hugely strong squall blew it into the stream just behind where I took this shot.
Taken at the edge of Llyn Idwal looking towards Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, North Wales at dusk..... such a beautiful place. Funny old thing but Paul Forgham never flinched as I went for a swim to catch my bag......... getting the shot before we lost the light being his priority - Priceless........ Cheers mate, I can still hear you laughing now!
Best seen large, thanks for your time folks.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - While hiking off-trail around Devils Tower, I encountered several deer. They were barely afraid of me at all, and let me get pictures with the tower in the background.
The Devil's Tear are quite quiet in this photo. A peaceful romantic sunset at my favorite island: Nusa Lembongan. The Devil's Tear refers to the waves splashing and crashing against the rocks. Not this evening tho.

In Outlander Finnich Glen was the location for St Ninians Spring, also know as Liar's Spring.
Devils Postpile; a dark cliff of columnar basalt, the formation was created by a lava flow at some time less than 100,000 years ago.
Because of its great thickness, much of the mass of pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, which is why the columns are so long and so symmetrical. Columnar jointing occurs when certain types of lava contract while cooling.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

Let's Travel the World!
I've spent the past decade exploring our world; and documenting the journey in photos and stories. For all the latest updates, follow along on:

Devils Tower, also known as Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge” in Lakota, is a volcanic neck that rises 1,267 feet from the Black Hills in northeastern Wyoming. It was the very first national monument in the United States, bestowed that designation by Teddy Roosevelt on September 24th, 1906. In recent years around one percent of the 400,000 annual visitors actually climbs the tower. We’ll get to how you do that in a later article.
Long before the tower was being recognized by the American government, Native tribes had geographical and cultural connections to it. They called it everything from ‘Aloft on a Rock’ (Kiowa) to ‘Grizzly Bear Lodge’ (Lakota). It wasn’t given its demonic name until Col. Richard Irving Dodge led an expedition through Wyoming in 1875. His interpreter botched the translation, calling it ‘Bad God’s Tower’, which was eventually shortened to Devils Tower.
There are two great legends regarding the tower and the unusual looking columns that bear a striking resemblance to claw marks. It’s no surprise that both the stories, from the Lakota Sioux and the Kiowa, involve a similar narrative. In the Lakota Sioux legend, six girls were out picking flowers when they were attacked and chased by bears. The Great Spirit felt bad for them, and raised the ground beneath their feet. The bears gave chase and attempted to climb the newly formed tower, but they couldn’t get to the top. The bears fell off, clawing the sides of the monolith.
The Kiowa legend follows a similar storyline but includes astrology as well. Seven little Kiowa girls were out playing, spotted by several giant bears, and were chased. The girls prayed to the Great Spirit, and sure enough the ground rose beneath them towards the Heavens. The bears tried to climb the rock but only managed to leave their deep claw marks on the sides. The girls reached the sky and were turned into the constellation Pleiades.

Devil's Kitchen is a slot in the rocky shoreline along the Marginal Way. It can be a fearsome place to photograph when the waves surge unpredictably up through the slot. On this day the tide was halfway out into calm seas and waves would still explode near the large center rock and push me back. The close walls on either side help to amplify the sound of the water just to increase the fear factor. High tide is shot from the walkway above the cliffs.

Devils Fork Creek flows thru hollowed out sandstone. I wish I had taken more time photographing this area, but even though we were there very early its still an effort to get a shot before others arrive

Buon Weekend!
We started the morning on the north side of Lassen Volcanic National Park in Old Station. After a huge bowl of oatmeal at JJ's Cafe, we headed to Subway Cave nearby--a lava tube that is open to the public. Make sure you bring a flashlight and a jacket as its pitch dark and 46 degrees inside! Getting there early ensured that we had the place entirely to ourselves.
From there, we drove around the backside of the park, stopping in Westwood before we headed to the Drakesbad Guest Ranch, from where we were scheduled to go on a horseback ride. Though the original plan was to go to Terminal Geyser (a 3 hour ride), some of the guests arrived late necessitating a change in plans. Instead, we went out to Devil's Kitchen, the park's second largest display of geothermal features and only a 2 hour ride.
After the ride and the short hike down into Devil's Kitchen, we soaked in the hot springs at the Guest Ranch while hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail stocked up on their supplies.
The day ended with a fabulous pizza at Tantardino's Pizzeria in Lake Almanor Peninsula.
