Devils Garden, ein kleines Tal mit Sandsteinfiguren, nahe Escalante, Utah, an der Hole In The Rock Road gelegen.
This is one of the tens of waterfalls in and around Hamilton. Didnt know until recently that Hamilton Ontario is called the City of Waterfalls

Is this an MRI scan of the brain's blood-vessels? No, just a twin picture of a dead tree. Converted this picture into a PS brush, making it mirror by accident by pushing 'flip horizontal'. Automatically a Rorschach test developed. This time as a structure instead of stains.
In the middle, from top to bottom, if you take a careful look, all kinds of Develish faces appear. And in the black hole above the 'eyes', there is a centerpiece resembling the Holy Virgin. From a distance the whole picture becomes a face. The Devil is not only in the details...
Not for people with a tendency to metaphysics!
Best seen on black.

This is almost a daily sight during the summer months in what the locals call the "wind of 120 days".
Devils Island is part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior in Ashland County, near the city of Bayfield and is the northernmost point in Wisconsin. First lit in 1901, the 80' white iron tower at the northern end of the island is topped with a third-order Fresnel lens and continues to this day to be an active aid to navigation. When it was first built the tower was a cylindrical tube, with short buttresses attached to its base. It was soon discovered that high winds caused the tower to shake violently, and the present exterior braces were put in place in 1914. Devils Island eventually became the last manned station in the Apostle Islands. This era finally ended in 1978 when the Devils Island Light was automated as well, marking the end of over a century of lightkeepers tending lights in the Apostle Islands. Devils Island is accessible only by boat and the station retains its fog signal building, oil houses and two brick Queen Anne keeper's dwellings.

It seems to have become tradition for Brussels Airlines to decorate an Airbus to celebrate their football team. Including a pair wearing identical liveries about ten years ago, there have now been four aircraft so painted.
This one, OO-SNO, reflects the modern era by also promoting the women's side who are nicknamed the Red Flames, the men's team having the moniker the Red Devils.
The aircraft was launched in this livery on 15th November 2022.

Thanks to those that commented on the picture that was here, but has now been deleted. Something about it wasn't right, and it was bothering me, so it has been relegated. It may get promoted again if I can work out what was wrong.
Here is one I am happy with. It's not brilliant, but it is all that it is ever going to be.
As with all these neolithic folly's, function is unknown. I reckon it probably had something to do with nookie, but I am no expert. They are however right next to the A1, so they might be stone age road signs of some sort.
There are three of these that I could see, but access is difficult so you only get one.
Here is what Julian Cope has to say about them (for he knows about these things):
"Their name, as the Devil's Arrows, seems to have originated from the following story, which we had related to us by an hoary headed individual living in Boroughbridge, when soliciting information as to their history:
"There lived a very pious old man {a Druid should we imagine} who was reckoned an excellent cultivator of the soil. However, during each season at the time his crops had come to maturity they were woefully pillaged by his surrounding neighbours; so that at this, he being provokingly grieved*, the Devil appeared, telling the old man if he would only recant and throw away his holiness he should never more be disturbed in his mind, or have whatever he grew stolen or demolished.
The old man, like Eve in the garden, yielded to temptation, and at once obeyed the impulse of Satan for the benefit of worldly gain. So when the old man's crops were again being pillaged, the Devil threw from the infernal regions some ponderous arrows, which so frightened the plunderers by shaking the earth that never more was he harrassed in that way. Hence the name of the 'Devil's Arrows."

Climbing up the wet, sheer bluffs was great--climbing down them in the rain was even better. As you can see, the wind was really whipping on the bluffs, too. I wish I had something for proportion…
It's quite sharp when viewed large on black.
Emerging Devil"s Fingers, New Forest, a new spot in the woods where these strange fungus are appearing this year .
We were able to see a couple of mountain lakes while in the Bend, Oregon area. This is Devil's Lake and we explored it for a few moments before going on to Sparks Lake.
Moloch Horridus, or thorny devil. Also called mountain devil although they live in sandy desert areas. Their sole diet is ants.
This crater is located in the Wai O Tapu thermal area just outside Rotorua on New Zealand’s North Island. The surreal colour of the hot water is caused by the presence of sulphur and ferrous salts.
It's always such a damp place the Devil's Glen in Ashford, County WIcklow or maybe it only seems that way because I tend to go there when it's raining too heavily to go elsewhere in Wicklow. But its narrow valley and tree cover does help keep the heavy rain off although it can leave the air chilly. The abundance of water makes it very green and it's one of only a few deciduous woods in Wicklow - lots of hazelnuts in late summer. The path on the left brings you to an impassable waterfall, a fall of about 40ft, which is impressive to see.
