To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
Formed by the glaciers 15,000 years ago, when they filled in both ends of a great river valley, Devil's Lake has always occupied a unique place in the Baraboo hills, its still waters surrounded by brooding 500-foot quartzite bluffs. The Indians called it Spirit Lake, and that seems a more accurate description than the modern name. It's situated in Wisconsi's busiest State Park, and it tends to get overrun in the midsummer tourist season. But catch it in the off-season, and its brooding presence comes through. It does seem to be presided over by spirits. Black and white seems the best way to capture its haunted mystery photographically on days like this.
The Devil's Bathtub is a gorgeous lake located north of Lake Thomas Edison in the Sierra National Forest, California, at about 9,167 ft. elevation, reachable by a 4.5 mi. (tough) hike. Having said that, OMG, it's stunning! A must for a day trip if you're in the area.
Very cool natural feature on the Oregon coast, a big bowl with two natural arches (or are they bridges?) opening to the sea.
The thing is, unfortunately, almost completely inaccessible for pictures (cliffs, warning signs, state park personnel, too many people around) so these are the best I could do. It would have been nice to get down on top of the rock and get both openings in a single photo but that shot wasn't worth getting bagged for.
Devils Tower National Monument is an laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains. It is near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base.
Devil's Tower was made famous years ago in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
This dish is a Sri Lankan favourite, however first time round and I overcooked the potatoes, I'm going to try and recook so I can take a better photo before posting.
Over in Sri Lanka this is made with maldive fish, but I've simply taken these out and swapped a few ingredients to make a vegetarian version of this simple yet spicy and not forgetting tasty dish!

It is the first trip to photograph waterfalls in a rainy day. We headed to the Devil's Den Falls in Talladega National Forrest to capture the scene in the winter. We found several satisfied compositions and this is one of them.
This toy prooves that even such a kindly looking creature perhaps has got a little devil inside. Caution! The filling is hot (joke)
Devil's Cornfield. Death Valley National Park, California. March 31, 2011. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Early morning light slants across the arrow weed plants of the Devil's Cornfield area of Death Valley National Park
For the record, while I have no evidence either way regarding the role of the devil in creating this terrain, there is definitely no corn growing in this field! The plant is known as "arrowweed" (or arroweed or arrow weed), and the tall shapes are apparently formed as the sand erodes from around the roots.
This spot is one of several in Death Valley that have been hard for me to see as photographs. (Other "challenges" include the Devil's Golf Course - which mostly looks like crusty, dried mud to me - and Salt Creek - which I've mostly visited at the times of day when the light hasn't been idea.) I came close once before with a closer view of the plants that revealed their actual color a bit more and which placed them in front of a backdrop of more distant barren mountains. This photograph certainly doesn't provide a strong center of visual interest, but I like the sense of the plants leading off into the distance, the angles of the blue shadows, and the contrasting warm colors of the plants in near golden-hour light.

Devil -- a sicilian marionette -- in my office. Linden wood. Never used in a show, now guards books in my office. (I bet he has read them all).

Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge Butte) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first United States national monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha).
In recent years, about 1% of the monument's 400,000 annual visitors climbed Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.
As rain and snow continue to erode the sedimentary rocks surrounding the Tower's base, more of Devils Tower will be exposed. Nonetheless, the exposed portions of the Tower still experience certain amounts of erosion. Cracks along the columns are subject to water and ice erosion. Portions, or even entire columns, of rock at Devils Tower are continually breaking off and falling. Piles of broken columns, boulders, small rocks, and stones, called scree, lie at the base of the tower, indicating that it was once wider than it is today.
Fur trappers may have visited Devils Tower, but they left no written evidence of having done so. The first documented Caucasian visitors were several members of Captain William F. Raynolds's 1859 expedition to Yellowstone. Sixteen years later, Colonel Richard I. Dodge escorted an Office of Indian Affairs scientific survey party to the massive rock formation and coined the name Devils Tower. Recognizing its unique characteristics, the United States Congress designated the area a U.S. forest reserve in 1892 and in 1906 Devils Tower became the nation's first National monument.
The 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind used the formation as a plot element and as the location of its climactic scenes.Its release was the cause of a large increase in visitors and climbers to the monument.
Similarly, the 2011 movie Paul used the formation at the film's climax as an homage to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The Native American story of the formation of the stars of the Pleiades at Devils Tower is featured in the 2014 science documentary series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
It is featured in a 2019 episode of The UnXplained titled "Unnatural Nature", documenting and speculating about the formation.
Devil's Tower featured in 2019 film Godzilla: King of The Monsters as Abaddon resting.
Devil's Tower, by the name Mato Tipila, is featured as one of 34 discoverable natural wonders in the 2016 Firaxis video game Civilization VI.

This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!
