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.
Road tripping in Wyoming. Notice Devil's Tower way off in the background. I didn't realize it had made it into the shot until after I got home!
Devil's Postpile, an example of columnar jointing in basalt. These unusual, symmetrical columns were formed by joints that developed when a river of molten lava contracted as it cooled slowly and evenly. The flow occurred nearly 100,000 years ago. The formation was exposed through erosion by glaciers and San Joaquin River. Devil's Postpile National Monument. Madera Co., Calif.

I love my devil bunny.
Several years ago I spotted him at the market on Portobello Road - it was love at first sight. But everyone else thought he was nasty & horrible and the big meanies finally persuaded me not to get him. I didn't forget, however, and reminded the others on a regular basis just how rotten they were to have denied me my devil bunny.
Exactly one year later, we were back at Portobello Road: same crowd, same hangovers etc etc. And there he was! My devil bunny had waited for me! It was obviously meant to be - so I scooped him up & brought him home & he's been giving Scott the eye ever since.
I love my devil bunny.

At Nelson Ledges State Park there is a cave near to the main waterfall called "Devils Icebox." It's a beautiful little spot, and it makes for a nice cool down on the hotter summer days..they don't call it the icebox for no reason! It attracts two types of people: Photographers, and stoners. So if your lucky enough to catch it empty of smoke, you can draw up some pretty great shots inside!
For the record, this was taken with a Nikon D80. Not sure why it was posted as a Powershot!
After leaving Blanchland, the day's ride was characterised by lots of short, sharp climbs followed by corresponding descents into quiet, wooded valleys. One such descent took me to a bridge crossing Devil's Water, a tributary of the Tyne.

"Hickory Horned Devil
Citheronia regalis (Fabricius)
This caterpillar is the larva of the Royal Walnut Moth, also known as the Regal Moth. The larva is not one for a timid person to suddenly discover. It has a scary, frightful appearance resembling a small dragon with up to five pairs of long, curving hornlike structures over the back of its thorax with the rest of the body covered with shorter spikes. The body color ranges from deep blue-green to tan with orange spikes tipped with black. Shorter spikes are black. Though very ferocious appearing, it is quite harmless to handle. They are enormous in size, being five to six inches long and nearly 3/4-inch in diameter. They feed for a period of 37 to 42 days on the leaves of hickory, walnut, butternut, pecan, ash, lilac, persimmon, sycamore, sumac and sweet gum. Larvae mature in late summer, wandering around searching for a place to burrow underground to pupate. Overwintering occurs in the pupal stage.
The moth has a wingspan of five to six inches and is seen in midsummer. It has a long body covered with orange yellow hair. The forewings are gray with orange veins and yellow spots. The hindwings are primarily orange with scattered yellow patches. "
