J'ai été promené le bébé d'une amie hier. Je devais constamment lui dire de se cacher, car il faisait peur aux gens qu'on rencontraient. Les gens ne sont pas habitué de voir un bébé démon, avec des cornes et une très longue langues. N'empêche que c'était drôle de voir la réaction des gens choqués.
I helped a friend of mine yesterday. She has a baby and she needed some time for herself. So i went for a walk, with her baby. I was always saying to the baby, hide yourself, because people that we met on the sidewalk, were shocked to see the baby. They don't see often a devil baby with corns and a long tongue. I was saying to him, to hide but i must admit it was funny to see the reaction of the people we met, aha.

Basically massive red, round boulders all stacked precariously on top of one another - God knows how some of them stay balanced!
Livingstone Island, Zambia
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls.
During the drier months of the year, May to October, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop.
Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.
You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls.
If Superman asked an architect to design him a home here in the U.S., it might look something like Devils Postpile. Devils Postpile is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the world's finest examples of columnar basalt. The Postpile was formed less than 100,000 years ago when a cooling lava flow cracked into multi-sided columns.

Nice vintage postcard of the strange mountain that's featured in one of my favorite films, Steven Spielberg's classic CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977), which has just been released on Blu-Ray and DVD.
The back of the card reads: No. 3943—The Devils Tower, Devils Tower National Monument in Northeastern Wyoming.
This landmark is an immense uplift of phonolite porphyry, unlike anything else in the world. The first National Monument in the U. S. A. (created in 1906), the tower rises 800 feet from it's base and 1280 above the Belle Fourche River.

Starter dishes at the Fish! restaurant in Borough Market, London: Devilled whitebait to the left and Calamari, with rocket and lemon mayonnaise, to the right.
Devilled whitebait is crisp, freshly fried whitebait - typically herring - which is perfect as a starter. You eat the whitebait whole, with head and all, only squeezing some lemon on it. Yes, it was delicious.
custom-made loaves at Kaz today, with a stencil made from an old wine label of his (notice the devil is uncorking a bottle of Kaz wine) -- and SO tasty on a cold & rainy day!

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.
This is one of the Falls at Devil's Den. This one has a decent looking swimming hole and I have encountered swimmers here before.

"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)"
These whirlwinds are common in the river bottom. They call them dust devils for for obvious reasons.
This capture of Devil's Thumb is located North of Delta, Colorado. Devil's Thumb Golf Course is named after this rock formation.
