Devil's Den- Gettysburg National Military Park-Gettysburg,Pennsylvania
as seen from Little Round Top
Geology was important in the outcome of the battle of Gettysburg in many ways. Union troops positioned themselves along the park's ridges and hills, which provided excellent vantage points. In turn, Confederate troops moved across the cleared valleys and lowlands in an effort to drive the Union troops off Cemetery Ridge, Culp's Hill, Little Round Top, and Big Round Top.
The boulders scattered across the landscape and also the rocks of Devil's Den, provided cover and strategic defensive positions for the soldiers. Thin soil on many of the sides and tops of hills also made it almost impossible for Union soldiers to entrench themselves. The resistant bedrock was so close to the surface on these hills that the troops were unable to "dig in." They had to rely on existing stonewalls, scattered boulders, and outcrops of rock for protection. Because of the Union army's inability to entrench its position, it suffered heavy losses of 23,000 men, while the attacking Confederates lost a little more than 28,000.

Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

This is the Devil Dog. He's 14 or 15 (we don’t exactly know); he's suffering from the end stages of malignant tumors which have infested his lungs. He’s spent the last few days in his favorite spot, reclining in the back doorway and watching the birds in the yard. He’s hardly eating and his breathing is getting labored. We're going to have to make the decision soon.
He’s a shelter dog, a scrawny mutt, half chow-chow half something else. He was unwanted and a bit funny looking so we took him in as a pup. He has a patchwork tongue and gorgeous wild lion mane fur, except in the summer when we shave him down which makes him look like a painfully self conscious baby lamb.

He took a turn for the worst today with very shallow, pained breathing... We decided to have him fall asleep peacefully and drift away instead of suffering any more. He had a good doggy life and I'll miss him.
The western coastline of Senja is wild and stunning. These characteristic mountains nicknamed "djevelens tanngard" ("devils jaw" in english) reach out into the Norwegian sea like fingers.
