This one is from 4th July road trip to South Dakota. It was a cloudy day, but it cleared just before the sunset. Was altogether a different experience watching this huge rock formation in golden colors on gray background. Something I'd never experienced. A must visit palce.

Dreams crack into stone
Monsters rise from devils playground
Shadows fall, darkness waits
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.
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.

My previous uploads featured the view from the top deck of a bus at Devil’s Dyke in Sussex, some 711 feet (216m) above sea level. It seems only right to show the rest of the bus, so here it is: Seaford & District’s immaculate former Dublin Volvo Olympian / Alexander, P772 SWC. Having walked across the Downs from the top of Ditchling Beacon (even higher at 813 feet above sea level), a trip back down to Brighton seafront on an open-top Olympian was most welcome :-)
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.
Went a trip to Finnich Glen yesterday, its been a while since I was last there. Its not so easy getting down into the glen now the rope is gone and the steps are starting to fall away in the muddy conditions. You do get a bit messy too.
When I arrived around sunrise it was something like -4c and cold. Before I left some ladies came down for a swim at the deep pool beside the falls. Rather them than me.
The name probably came from the Anglo settlers later since the highest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area was originally named by the Spaniards as Mount Diablo. Why the devil? Well, turns out that the Spanish conquistadors were trying to capture the Volvon natives and the conquistadors were either bewildered or got lost in this mountain. So they called the mountain the devil and the name stuck until this day. Most indigenous people at the time was captured and relocated to the nearby Missions. There are still remnants of Native village sites that can be found in the nearby Morgan Territory.
Continuing my exploration of completely improbably modes of transportation, I bring you the Dust Devil.
Once small, high powered thruster technology became common, tuners started looking for ways to integrate them into racing. Highly illegal, and terrifyingly dangerous, the Dust Devil style of motorbike conversion quickly became the ride of choice for insatiable adrenaline junkies. The side to side instability of the bikes, combined with their tremendous speed makes them unsuitable for circuit racing. Drag racing however is another thing. Desert races are popular, despite the losers often left decorating the sand.

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
Finnich Glen near Drymen, sometimes known as the Devil's Pulpit, is a place you know you're going to get wet and dirty going into but you know it's going to be good.

“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
