Ever since I saw the film "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" as a child I wanted to go to Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming. Of course, back then I wanted to go find the aliens (and to be honest I did look aound for them a little even now) but I was more interested in the columnar basalt than the possibility of extra-terrestrials.

this light created with a sparkler looks like a devil from the side as it looks as if it has a tail,
Designed and folded by me (Jozsef Zsebe). Designed in 1999 from one uncut square.
I am sorry, but the diagrams or CP are not available yet ...
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.
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 have driven past this on I-90 more times than I care to remember. This trip I mades sure I had the time to detour, stop, and take some pictures. Although the weather didn't turn out the way I had liked (I was hoping for more clouds so I could do a long exposure), I am quite happy with how this one turned out.
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!
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.
