Devils Punchbowl Falls are located close to Arthurs Pass village in the heart of Arthurs Pass National Park. The DOC information lists the falls as 131 metres high, while the topo maps list the height as 123 metres. Either way the falls are dramatic as the creek discharges from the hanging valley above. I have included two views, the first being the view from the platform at the end of the walking track to the falls, and the second is taken from the other side of the valley heading up Scotts track towards Avalanche Peak.
I wish I had a picture of this entire costume. It included a full-face foam latex appliance from screamteam.com, ears, teeth, a foam-latex tail I sculpted and molded myself, a very short red toga, and red liquid latex on all my exposed skin. It was friggin' cold and getting the latex off was a pain, but dozens of people had to have their picture taken with me.
And yes, that was my real hair.

Local folklore explains the valley as the work of the devil. The legend holds that the devil was digging a trench to allow the sea to flood the many churches in the Weald of Sussex. The digging disturbed an old woman who lit a candle, or angered a rooster causing it to crow, making the devil believe that the morning was fast approaching. The devil then fled, leaving his trench unfinished. The last shovel of earth he threw over his shoulder fell into the sea, forming the Isle of Wight.
We spent 3 nights camping at the Devil's Postpile Natl. Monument in the Eastern Sierra, California. The distortion is intentional, but to be honest I spent very little time here photographing it. The mosquitoes were horrendous. I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as I could. They were only really bad right here; the rest of the area did not have too many of the little buggers (but there were some). I was definitely surprised there were as many as there were.

These whirlwinds are common in the river bottom. They call them dust devils for for obvious reasons.

"Since Native American Yuchi Indians inhabited northeast Tennessee, there have been tales of a terrible supernatural presence residing at the Devil’s Looking Glass off TN-81S in Erwin, Tennessee. Author, historian and folklorist Pat Alderman believed the sheer cliff received its name because at certain times it is believed you can see the face of a horned devil on the cliff, but the monster in question far predates the introduction of Satan in the United States.
One of the first books connecting paranormal phenomena to the cliff was Charles Edwin Price’s 1995 book Haunted Tennessee. He confirms that even Native American Indians were terrified of the image of a face that lies in the cliff and presents an atypical “lover’s leap” theme to it as well:"
"One place where terrible spirits lurked – and perhaps still do- was a 300-foot-tall rock cliff located on the Nolichucky River
near the Unicoi/Washington County line. Called “The Devil’s Looking Glass”, the cliff was so infamous for the spirits living
there that the [Native North American Yuchi and Cherokee] Indians avoided it whenever possible. Even war parties floating
down the Nolichucky River in canoes would refuse to look at its sheer rock face while they paddled past as quickly as possible.
It was said that a warrior who had dishonored his tribe climbed to the top of the Looking Glass one day and flung himself
off the summit. His troubled spirit was rumored to inhabit the cliff and would lure other warriors to jump – sort of a mystery
loves company attitude. (Price, pgs. 5 & 6)"
This capture of Devil's Thumb is located North of Delta, Colorado. Devil's Thumb Golf Course is named after this rock formation.

Devil's Punchbowl, discovered while on a waterfall photo walk with George(@walking along) and Leon(@leapin26). It drops 14 feet into a sublime pool in a little gorge near Angwin.
I have since learned from George(@walking along) that this drainage is actually on Cobb's Creek, on one of Napa Valley Land Trust "properties".

We are approaching Hipsta Halloween! This is my daughters little ducky and I just wanted to upload a quick shot of the little fella on his Evil Throne!
today's find:
Empusa fasciata, Ghost Mantis, Devil's Horse, Hauben Fangschrecke... this little monster was less than 6cm long, about 2 1/2"
I saw it by chance because it is extremely well camouflaged in grass.
I tried to get it to stay against a dark background, but noway was it to stay there, only when we put it on Curt's arm would it stay and pose...
