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:
I can stand the cold when hiking, but 30 to 40 miles wind. The wind cut right through my insulated underwear. This hike is a 20 minute strenuous hike, we didn't make it but a family of five made the hike. Devil's Courthouse is a mountain in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. The mountain is located at the Western edge of the Pisgah National Forest about 10 miles northwest of Brevard. Located at milepost 422.4 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Devil's Courthouse has a moderate/strenuous trail climbing a half mile to its peak where panoramic views. Cherokee lore had been reported to state that Jutaculla (alternative English spelling is Judaculla; Cherokee name is Tsul'kălû'), a slant eyed giant, dwells in the cave in Devil's Courthouse.
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/
A merge of two exposures. The first was exposed for the sky, th second exposure was for the foreground.
I encountered this male painted devil (Lacunicambarus ludovicianus) wandering a small urban seasonal wetland while I was searching for frogs to photograph. This was my first time seeing this Mississippi River floodplain native in such an urban area; the habitat is far less ideal than many other places I've seen them. Obviously it was enough for this adult crayfish to exist in.
The confluence of Porcupine Creek and Devil Canyon with the Bighorn River and Bighorn Canyon at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a National Park Service unit that straddles the Montana-Wyoming State line between the Pryor and Bighorn Mountain ranges. The Devil Canyon Overlook, which is only accessible from the south entrance near Lovell, WY (there is no through-road from the north to south end of the National Recreation Area) offers a number of views of the Bighorn River 1000 to 1500 feet below as it flows north through the third largest canyon in the United States.

A bright spell of weather allowed me to take this high contrast image of the locally known Devil's bite, otherwise called Slieve Bearnagh, in the Mourne Mountais of Co. Down, Ireland.

The route of the A3 London to Portsmouth trunk road can be seen below, now returned to grass. The road now is taken by tunnel under the hills.
After a bit of time struggling with motivation, I took a drive with my sister today to Finnich Glen, which is the home of the Devils Pulpit (the nodule of rock in this picture).
It's a bit of a scramble down, and if you aren't comfortable off road then you certainly won't be comfortable on the way down.
I was a bit off my game, but did enjoy splashing about in the river trying to find compositions. My boots will likely take days to dry though...

AKA Jimson Weed, Thorn Apple, Devil's Trumpet, and a lot more, a member of the nightshade family of plants. This is some sort of souped up hybrid but I bet it's still toxic. I also bet it's still invasive.
Descend down the 100ft gorge via the Devils Steps to the Devil's Pulpit. A circular red sandstone rock which was carved by the waters of the Carnock Burn.
In Outlander Finnich Glen was the location for St Ninians Spring, also know as Liar's Spring.
I had never heard of it before, but scree is an accumulation of broken rocks at the bottom of a cliff or other steep rocky mass.
Should I wear this really short dress? Two little voices in my head were arguing about this, Guess which one won?
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.

13th century bridge, River Lune, Kirkby Lonsdale.
This was takem after a night of very heavy rain. The previous day, people were playing and swimming in the river!
I hit the road today for a daylong photo shoot with my friend Darrell Robinson. Darrell pointed us in the direction of Devil's Falls a short way from the American River outside of Colfax. Darrell is a brave soul. He navigated us down a narrow eroded dirt road called Yankee Jim's Road with a steep drop on the canyon side of the road, across a 100 year old suspension bridge with a safety rating of 3/100, up a steep eroded grade through a canyon recently ravaged by forest fire and a monsoonal storm to this lovely waterfall. Did I tell you that I was driving. Here's a link to a beautiful photo that Darrell took of the upper portion of the this lovely waterfall for perspective. You'll notice the same rocks on the bottom of his photo that show up in my photo above.

There is a temple in Bangkok that has never given me a positive vibe.
Every time I walk by, it always feels empty and dark.
Just outside the temple grounds, I came across this on the wall.
Let me know what you think—perhaps it’s just my imagination.
Love to hear what you see.
