Devil's Courthouse Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. I purposly exposed this shot for the cloudy sky which put the mountain into almost a silhouette. I thought the feature would still be recognizable. If you view large you can see two hikers standing on top of the overlook at middle edge left.
We camped on a site just below the Tower. We had just finished dinner when the storm began. It was so bad that we literally had to hold the tent down. By morning the air mattresses were floating in the tent.
Taken on a particularily well-lit afternoon walk on Devils Peak - think it was the combination of late-afternoon sun and the brisk, clear air.
Devils Hole", Jersey, Channel Islands
Following a shipwreck in 1851, when's a ship's figurehead washed up in the Devil's Hole, a statue of a devil adapted from the figurehead was set up above the Hole. The wooden statue was replaced by a succession of modern versions in the 20th century.
Soooo I'm in Colorado. Arrived yesterday and drove up to Estes Park by myself to hike and relax and distract my mind before my interviews tomorrow. After two gorgeous hikes in almost white-out conditions, I headed back to Denver on US 34, Big Thompson Canyon, the bestest way to get to and from Estes Park.
Just before getting to Loveland, there's a striking rock feature that sticks up in the middle of grasslands. It's called Devil's Backbone and I've always wanted to stop. So today I did. And it's really cool! I didn't explore much because it was getting late, but the ridges are pretty sweet. Also the howling coyotes really started to creep me out.
On to tomorrow.... (starting to get nervous!)
Lots more pictures too, eventually :)
La zone est située près de Wauchope, environ 114 &100bsp; km au sud de Tennant Creek, dans le Territoire du Nord. Le site est connu comme Karlu Karlu aux propriétaires traditionnels aborigènes de la terre. L''Devils Marbles »ou« Karlu Karlu' avec sa gigantesque, arrondi rochers de granit, quelques spectaculaire prête, est un paysage remarquable. Épars grappes de ces «billes», y compris de nombreux équilibre entre les rochers , sont répartis sur une large vallée peu profonde. Les Devils Marbles est un symbole reconnu nationalement et internationalement de l'Outback australien.
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!

Crazy way to sell lightbulbs!

View looking towards the Tetons for the top of the Devil's Staircase hike. Tablerock and one of the tips of the Tetons can be seen. Targhee national Forest. This was taken in October of 2010.
The Devils Glen is outside Ashford, Wicklow and the waterfall is at the end of a forest walk along the river.
After we left Mt. Rushmore, we made the beautiful backcountry drive up above Moorcroft, Wyoming - passing through towns like Hulett (pop. 10 as I recall), Alva, and Aladdin to the amazing Devil's Tower. We got there with about 30 minutes of daylight left so not a lot of time to make images - plus it was raining somewhat.
For this image of a longhorn steer and the tower itself, I stood along a barbed-wire fenceline, camera on tripod with umbrealla in my left hand. About three shots into this endeavor, the steer turned and showed me his backside until I gave up. A shy longhorn - go figure.
The Tower - by the way - is so amazing. A magma plug if you will - it used to be completely surrounded by earth. Amazing what a couple million years can do to erase all that and just leave this stellar monument behind.
With radish and rye chip. The real surprise here was the punch of ramp pesto tucked between the jiggly white and the creamed yolk mixture.

From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devils_Tower
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.
