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.
One place I've wanted to visit and finally got the chance to was the Devils Tower in Wyoming. When you're driving in, which is worth the trip alone on the winding, hill laden roads, it doesn't look too big. Don't let it fool you. It is massive. Climbers look like little specs on it.
I collected this shot as I was rolling by on my Harley while shooting from the hip.
Names for Devil's Tower before white man arrived are as follows: Aloft on a Rock (Kiowa), Bear's House (Cheyenne, Crow), Bear's Lair (Cheyenne, Crow), Daxpitcheeaasáao, "Home of bears" (Crow[6]), Bear's Lodge (Cheyenne, Lakota), Bear's Lodge Butte (Lakota), Bear's Tipi (Arapaho, Cheyenne), Tree Rock (Kiowa), and Grizzly Bear Lodge (Lakota).

Lol, for the shot I tried to guide this Devil's Coachhorse into position with a little twig, but it chose to run up it instead. It posed quite nicely, but briefly, before throwing itself off the end, landing on my hand, where it opened its mandibles wide. Oooer, down you go!
Harry Potter and his friends were caught in the Devil's snare. Luckily, Hermione was both able to keep her calm and remeber what they were taught in herbology class. This creation was inspired by Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, the book version. In the movie it is only Ron who needs to be saved.
I was looking for something completely different when I found this sitting on my hard drive. An old 'un from 2007.
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.

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.

This model is such a classic, I had to get around to folding it eventually. Very easy to fold, I must try something harder. Kami wasn't the best choice, but I didn't feel like using something better.
Folded out of an uncut square of 10" kami.
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
