This is a shot of "Devils Bridge" at Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria. People jump off of the bridge into the River Lune, this has now been made illegal following some fatal instances. I hope you like the shot. Please let me know if you do. Thanks and have a great weekend , Graham.
Here's some more information about the bridge:
Dating from around 1370 and constructed of fine gritstone ashlar. It has three spans, the western two measuring 54.75 feet (16.69 m) each and the eastern one 29 feet (8.8 m). The piers are hexagonal, measuring 60 feet (18 m) around.
A great flood will easily reach the base of the arches and run over the tops of the cutwaters. In common with many bridges of the same name, legend holds that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it. When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil. Several large stones in the surrounding area, including the Great Stone of Fourstones, are ascribed to the Devil's purse-strings bursting open as he ferried masonry to build it.
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.
On Devils Well Road near Elk City, OR is an overlook that you can get a great view of the coastal mountains and trains from. The Portland and Western's Toledo Hauler slowly rolls through the mountains on its way to Albany.

This photo was taken on the beach behind the Best Western. Outer Banks Beach Kill Devil Hills NC. We always stay at the Best Western on the third or fifth floor. we usually try to get a Suite on the end. I have set up my gear on the balcony using the -Nikon d500 and 200 -500 mm f5.6 lens.
And have gotten some wonderful bird shots from the balcony. Hotel prices are half the costs doing off season months. Which my wife and I prefer we are more into nature -birding etc. Than we are soaking up sun on the beach.

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!
Take Devil's Staircase trekking and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Southern Plains. This famous route is a 14km long trail of sharp zig-zag twists that are extremely steep and difficult, but quite thrilling to travel.

A great way to enjoy the magnificent Glen Coe is a hike over the Devils Staircase, a route that follows the old military road that once headed to Fort William. The trail is part of the West Highland Way and is a good walk for the less experienced and families. The Devils Staircase was given the name by the 400 soldiers who battled horrendous conditions to build it in the 17th century.
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.
Attention escort pilots: A new threat from the secretive Hellionic Conclave has emerged. Already being called the "Devil's Talon," the small ship appears to be built around a single devastating neutron cannon of the type typically found on much larger ships. Be advised that while its recharge time between shots is significant, a single hit can take down lightly armored fighters. Treat this ship with respect.

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."

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;
So, I did find another decent shot from my session the other day - I don't think it's as strong as my last but I do like the way that the flame wraps around the liquid.
I actually did a little shooting this weeknd between rounds of golf. But, going through my shots I just wasn't happy with anything..... I think I'm having a little inspirational crisis (Haha - now I really do sound like an artist).
Maybe in a couple of days I'll look back on my recent shots and see them in a new light.
wa Dogs Brewery, the brewing division of Victoria Caledonian Distillery, has announced the release of a new limited edition beer in collaboration with Cascadia Seaweed that represents “a harmonious union between land and sea”.
Devil’s Apron ISA (4.4% abv) is described as follows: Sugar Kelp was infused into the mash to give this session IPA a sweet, savoury, and sea breeze backdrop. Tropical fruit flavours from a heavy dry hop of Azacca & Mozaic blend in with the wild ocean aromas, providing the perfect companion for seaside adventures.
Devils Tower National Monument located in northeastern Wyoming bathed in late evening light. A really cool and unique geological formation, it was formed by an igneous intrusion that uplifted the overlaying sedimentary rock layers. Well worth the visit if you are making a trip through the area. This place is also sacred to the native tribes that inhabit the area, as is evidenced by the hundreds of prayer cloths they have placed around the base of the structure.

According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.
