It's not showy, but is a new species for my prairie wildflowers species set. I only saw one of these plants so I was lucky to get this.

Afternoon light warms the face of Devil's Tower, in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming, which rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain over the Belle Fourche River. It's summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devil's Tower was the first National Monument, established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906. The Lakota Indian names for the tower translate as "Bear Lodge," and "Brown Buffalo Horn." "Devil's Tower" is a mistranslation of the original Indian name. It came to national attention in the 1977 movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," when the aliens landed on it at the end of the movie.

Devil's Dyke is a well known beauty spot on the South Downs near Brighton. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. There are two explanations of how it was formed. The first says it was created over 10,000 years ago by melt waters at the end of the last Ice Age. Nah, boring! The truth, of course (or, at least, the one I prefer), is that it was dug by the Devil, who wanted to drown all the people living in the area, by digging a trench through to the sea, because they were the last in the country to convert to Christianity and he was miffed at the thought of losing his only stronghold. He had boasted he could complete the work in one day, but was tricked into thinking it was already dawn (by someone with a candle and a cockerel ... really?), whereupon he abandoned the job and fled, humiliated, never to return. Oh, and he threw some of the earth down in disgust as he fled ... forming the Isle of Wight. So now you know. :)))
The people on the footpath give an idea of scale.
Finally got around to the Devil's Punchbowl photo portion of the 8/4/2019 Photo Tour. It was the last part - tide heading to its low point - and I was tired, and there were a lot of people clustered along the railing (limiting photo angles). Had to really modify all 3 photos to keep them in different ways. This one: saturation way up, center bright point moved a bunch towards the dark, exposure down a notch, shadows removed a lot.

Clathrus archeri is a striking species and reached Europe from Australia or New Zealand at the start of World War I (1914). Like the common stinkhorn and the dog stinkhorn, this fungus emerges from a partly buried white ball
The location is Devil's Speedway off West Side Road in Death Valley California. Just in back of the salt is Devil's Golf Course.
These were not my props.
Watched 'The Devil Wears Prada' again last night! I think this is possibly Rachel's favourite girlie film. Anne Hathaway wears some amazing outfits as she becomes a fashonista! She looks so incredible thoughout this film , great makeup and superb hair. Imagine being able to rumage through a top magazines samples and putting together a bang up-to-date outfit, i know i do!
The thorny devil also features a spiny "false head" on the back of its neck, and the lizard presents this to potential predators by dipping its real head. The "false head" is made of soft tissue.[1] The females are larger than the males. The thorny dragon's scales are ridged, enabling the animal to collect water from any part of its body. That water is then conveyed to its mouth.[2] So to drink water, they touch water, usually with their limbs, and via the capillary principle, water is transported to the mouth through their skin.

Devils Tower National Monument

Another version tells that two Sioux boys wandered far from their village when Mato the bear, a huge creature that had claws the size of tipi poles, spotted them, and wanted to eat them for breakfast. He was almost upon them when the boys prayed to Wakan Tanka the Creator to help them. They rose up on a huge rock, while Mato tried to get up from every side, leaving huge scratch marks as he did. Finally, he sauntered off, disappointed and discouraged. The bear came to rest east of the Black Hills at what is now Bear Butte. Wanblee, the eagle, helped the boys off the rock and back to their village.
Natural sea arch known locally as Devil's Bridge on the Atlantic side of the northeast coast of Antigua. I used a ND darkening filter with f25 and 1/4 second exposure to blur the water in mid morning light. This was as close as I could get to the edge without splashing water spray on the lens, the waves come crashing all the way from Africa.

“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
From Plateau Point, a spur off the Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon, you can see the switchbacks of the Devil's Corkscrew winding down below the Great Unconformity on the way to the Colorado River. At the bottom, you can cross over the river on one of two suspension bridges, and camp at Phantom Ranch. View is roughly southward.

Devil's Pool is a small (about 10x10ft) area of relatively calm water just at the edge of the Victoria Falls. I didn't know anything about it before going to Zambia. And when I knew about it, I had to have the experience.
It was one of the most awe inspiring experience ever! Imagine, only few ft away is 110 meter drop. Imagine all the roars and thunders of the falls. Imagine swimming there. Imagine the pull towards the edge.
(I had to sign a paper stating that I was totally aware of the danger to life and they were not responsible for anything)
Dyavolski Most (Devil’s Bridge) was built on a picturesque narrow gorge of Arda River in the beginning of the 15th century. It is located 35 km away from Kardzhali and 10 km away from Ardino. The bridge is part of an ancient road, which connected the Aegean Sea Coast with the inland of Thrace. A local legend says that one can see the devil’s step in one of the stones, which is probably where its name comes from. The bridge was proclaimed a monument of culture on 24th February 1984.
Devils Tower is a sacred place for Northern Plains Indian Tribes and the first official United States National Monument. Many may recognize the iconic image appearing in the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
It's been a busy year for me. Luckily, I have time for vacation.
This was taken at Escalante, UT. I love this place, it's like a adult disneyland. I can imaging myself wondering around this place for months and never get tired of it. The truth is, no matter how long is your vacation, you still have to get back to realities and facing your duties. Even thought I'm back from this place but I never stop thinking about this places.
There's so many things that I want to accomplish this year and I just accomplish one - hit 5 different national parks this year.
thanks for viewing and have a great day. Hope to see you soon on Flickr ^__^
Back in January, IC2466, the last remaining active "blue devil" made a few trips north along the old IC on CN G889. We'd figured it wouldn't be visible in daylight, though we'd later learn we were wrong, so my buddy and I shot it deep into the night, even though that's not such an easy task.
We finished our night far later than we should have, when G889 parked up at Tolono in the siding. The newly re-installed SafeTran signals, moved closer to the road last year, cast off quite the eerie red glow on the roadbed and locomotive alike. Turned a blue devil into more of a... normal devil, I guess. Call it a red one, for fun. A neat look anyway!
IC2466 was built as an LMS unit, sold to the CN after a few years of shared CN/CR leasing, and put into the IC number range. The last I heard of its whereabouts was that it was stored in Markham, though it may well be on its way to scrap by now.
