In the afternoon of our last day, we walked the rim of Victoria Falls, beginning at Devil's Cataract on one end. This small section of the falls is separated from the rest by Cataract Island, and has a drop of only 180 feet. It is also the weakest point in rock face of the falls, and has the lowest top edge. Eventually, over thousands of years, the water will wear it away and this section will become the main channel of the river as less goes over the rest of the current face.
Devil's Cataract is not the location of the "Devil's Pool," where people swim in a pool on the edge of the falls. The Devil's Pool is closer to the middle, adjacent to Livingstone Island.
The fence in the foreground is the only barrier between the path and the edge of the chasm. I always forget to post a shot for "Fence Friday," but I remembered today. HFF!
Blended from three exposures. See the note on the picture in Comments for the location of today's shot.
How did this Tower Form? Well, it's amazing! I've learned that the process began about 50 million years ago when Magma (molton rock) was injected into layers of sedimentary rock, forming the Tower one and one-half miles below the earth's surface. It has since taken millions of years to erode away the surrounding sedimentary rock to expose the Tower we see today!
I just got home late last night from a recent trip to the Badlands, Devil's Tower, and Mount Rushmore! I'm having a blast going through all my pictures!
Another shot of the Devils Marbles, Northern Territory Australia. These rock formations are quite amazing and are just off the Stuart Highway which run up central Australia. Love the rich colours up here and the blue sky.
Devils Bridge is a short walk from the Verandah in the St Philip Parish of Antigua. It has been formed by the sea eroding the rock from beneath creating an opening. It is said that people walking across the bridge have been caught out by the high splash coming through the opening hence its name.
Here's a little something a couple friends and I took last night. This is Devils Doorway at Devils Lake Wisconsin. It's about a mile hike, basically straight up to get here. It was hot and humid but well worth the trip and effort. I weighed my camera bag today and it weigh 33.5 lbs. I thought I was packing light too...guess not so much. LOL

Steam devils or "arctic water spouts" formed over Cape Cod Bay on Friday when temperatures dove to 10 F (-12 C) in Brewster.
These form when relatively WARM air at the ocean's surface tries to rise rapidly through much cooler air above. As the air rises it rotates, creating these "steam devils" or "arctic water spouts."

It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 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 (545 ha).

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.

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.
This is Yohko from the anime Devil Hunter Yohko. :) She was a gift to a friend for a Secret Santa event. She was kinda late though... XD;
1 Peter 5:7–8 (ESV)
7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
DEVIL (Gk. diábolos “slanderer”). Another name for Satan, God’s adversary. Whereas the Old Testament contains references to “demons” (so RSV, NIV; KJV “devils”) and “satyrs,” the New Testament presents a more developed demonology. Here some of the angels are said to have fallen from their state of integrity in heaven and placed themselves under the rule of the devil. As their prince (Matt. 9:34), the devil—called the “father of lies” and the “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44)—opposed Christ’s redemptive work by sending demons into people who then involuntarily became demon-possessed (see DEMON).
The devil himself sought to annul Christ’s ministry by his temptations in the wilderness, the region where, according to the Old Testament, demons and satyrs existed. Temporarily abandoning the effort after three unsuccessful attempts (Matt. 4:1–11 par. Luke 4:2–13; Mark 1:13 has “Satan”), the devil waited for an opportune moment (Luke 4:13), which came during the passion week when he had Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples, betray his master (Luke 22:3, “Satan”; John 6:70; 13:2). (Though Luke suggests Jesus’ victory over the devil, he also records Christ’s awareness of his power [e.g., Luke 8:12; see also Matt. 13:39], especially through his endeavors to block the expansion of the kingdom of God by means of demon possession.) At Acts 13:10 the apostle Paul blinds Elymas on account of his alleged cooperation with the devil.
Through his resurrection Christ broke the power of death and, in principle, the power of the devil (Heb. 2:14; cf. Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8). God’s adversary may still prowl “like a roaring lion” (1 Pet. 5:8), but his reign will end at the great battle of the final tribulation (Rev. 20:10) or at the Day of Judgment (Matt. 25:41). Meanwhile, believers are warned not to play into the hands of the devil (Eph. 4:2) but to resist his wiles (6:11; cf. 1 Pet. 5:9), and office bearers are exhorted to display kindness to unbelievers in the hope that they may escape from the devil’s tentacles (2 Tim. 2:25–26).

Another towering travertine geothermal cone demarcating Jupiter Terrace (left) and Palette Spring in Yellowstone's Mammoth Hot Springs area.
Funny that so many geologic features are named after the bad guy. Just in Yellowstone, there's also a Devil's Kitchen also in Mammoth (as well as in Shell, Wyoming, see my photos thereof). Just north of the park, in Custer-Gallatin National Park, is Devil's Slide (which I think is a volcanic dike), and beyond, Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The list goes on!
n 1965, the French government transferred the responsibility for most of the islands to its newly founded Guiana Space Centre. The islands are under the trajectory of the space rockets launched from the Centre eastward, toward the sea (to geostationary orbit). They must be evacuated during each launch. The islands host a variety of measurement apparatus for space launches.
The CNES space agency, in association with other agencies, has restored buildings classified as historical monuments. Since tourism facilities have been added, the islands now receive more than 50,000 tourists each year
Devils Falls is a twin waterfall on Yankee Jim's Rd between Foresthill and Colfax which runs over the American River.
Created a look that personifies a deviled egg. :)
