This one I took for the vanishing point.
If it intrigues you . . . Google "red devil locomotive" . . . some amazing images of her roaring along SA railways under a full head of steam and billowing smoke . . . wished I'd taken those!

Legend holds that the Devil's Chimney is the chimney of the Devil's dwelling deep beneath the ground. Supposedly the Devil, provoked by the many Christian churches of the area, would sit atop Leckhampton Hill and hurl stones at Sunday churchgoers. However the stones were turned back on him, driving him beneath the ground and trapping him there so he could not further harass the villagers. Now he uses the mass of stones as his chimney to let free the smokes of hell.
Visitors to the Devil's Chimney would leave a coin on top of the rock as payment to the Devil in exchange for his staying in his underground home and not leaving to create mischief and spread evil in the local area.
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.
I collected this shot as I was rolling by on my Harley while shooting from the hip.

A Devil captured at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.
The devil is a Tasmanian icon. It is the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial and its famous toothy gape and spine-chilling screeches set it apart from other wildlife. Devils are nocturnal and live in coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest, and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest. Generally they shelter by day and find food at night. Notable scavengers, they roam considerable distances in their quest for food. Devils completely devour their prey and are famous for their rowdy communal feeding at carcasses. They eat a variety of insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The species is listed as endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and is wholly protected. Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife.
The original plan was to hike near Lake Berryessa, CA for some elevated shots of the dam and other great views with another photographer. At the last minute the forecast called for rain causing our plans to deviate to the hills near Colfax to go waterfall hunting. This is probably the third time at this fall and it still amazes me. We hiked nearby to view other grand spots with water flowing. A great area to catch some green landscapes with flowing water for a continued effort in the perfect exposure. (0.3 sec, f/7.1, 14 mm)
The old Devil's Slide section of Hwy 1 between Montara and Pacifica, California has been closed to auto traffic and is now a biking and hiking trail. This is a shot from that trail.
Notice the prolific pampas grass(Cortaderia selloana or Cortaderia jubata) in the foreground - a nasty invasive that causes problems wherever it goes.

According to Wikipedia, devil's club or devil's walking stick (Oplopanax horridus) is a large understory shrub endemic to the arboreal rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, but also disjunct on islands in Lake Superior. It is noted for its large palmate leaves and erect, woody stems covered in noxious and irritating spines [visible here]…The plant has also been used ceremonially by the Tlingit and Haida people of Southeast Alaska. A piece of Devil's club hung over a doorway is said to ward off evil.
To draw attention to the plight of the Tasmanian devil I am going to be making a work a day throughout October inspired by Tasmanian Devils.
Tasmanian Devils population has declined by 90% in large areas of Tasmania due to Devil facial tumor disease. In November I will be taking part in the Garmin Point to Pinnacle; a 21.4km long and just over 1,270 meters in elevation run up Tasmania's Mount Wellington to raise money for The Devil Island Project www.savethetasmaniandevil.org.au
