Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
I am absolutely delighted to let you know that my new album, 'ECOSYSTEMS' has just been published: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
It has been presented at the Club of Rome 50th Anniversary meeting, the United Nations COP24 conference on climate change, a large exhibition held at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University and the Environment Europe Oxford Spring School in Ecological Economics and now at the United Nations World Urban Forum 2020. There are only 450 copies left so you will have to be quick: stanislav.photography/ecosystems

I've played a Joke on you my Valentine
Perhaps it involves the hole in my right pocket. And perhaps it doesn't.
Very cheeky mr. Devil but I make my own decisions here! Taken on my holiday. Holzmarkt, Berlin.

A little devil sitting outside St. Mary's Church in the Old Town of Lübeck. According to the infinite knowledge of the internet:
The statue sits on what is known as the "Devil's Stone" (Teufelsstein), a large slab located near St. Mary's Church. This bronze sculpture of the devil was created by local Lübeck sculptor Rolf Goerler and installed in 1999.
Army Air Corps Westland Scout AH.1 XW799 departing Shoreham on 27th May 1991 with a cabin full of parachutists - possibly the Army's Red Devils for a para drop over Brighton. Sister-ship XR632 was in as well - probably as a spare.
XW799 was the last Scout built for the Army.

I was fortunate to get this shot as I was arrived at Devil's Tower ahead of schedule on my road trip from Seattle to Chicago. Due to lack of vacancy at the hotels in the area in part because of the Sturgis Biker Rally (which was incredible seeing so many riders on the many highways and by-ways), but I was even shut out due to a local Ham and Jam. With no where to stay I rolled into Devil's Tower about midnight, set up camp, and got up early the next day.
If you have a chance to visit, make sure to allow for a morning hike as I would imagine the mists are somewhat of a regular occurance in the A.M. Also, my hike was accompanying by a random flute player that I was told can also be found in the early morning hours.

I am sorry, but the diagrams or CP are not available yet ...
A MIDNIGHT ceremony. Crowds milling, bodies slick with sweat in the tropical night. Torches lining an earthen arena. A patient is dazed with illness, propped on a low seat. The rhythmic beat of drums. The smell of smoking resin. A figure enters, back first and the rhythm of the drums changes, intensifies. The figure whirls and the patient is suddenly presented with the face of his tormentor!
