The devil is so called because of their aggression towards each other and their loud and harsh cry. They are endangered by disease. This photo was taken in a rescue centre, but I have also seen them in the wild.
British Rail class 98 2-6-2T steam locomotive No7 'Owain Glyndwr' waits departure time at the terminus station of Devil's Bridge, with a return working along the 12 mile narrow gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway to Aberystwyth.
This line in West Wales operated 3 locomotives,
No7 'Owain Glyndwr'
No8 'Llyelyn'
No9 'Prince of Wales'
they were the only steam locomotives on British Railways books after 1968, for another 21 years they would be part of the national system until 1989, when the Vale of Rheidol became the first part of British Railways to be privatised.

This is the southernmost of three huge monoliths erected nearly 5,000 years ago at what is now known as Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire. Historical records suggest that several centuries ago there were five such stones in a line, now only three stones remain, but standing nearly 7m tall, they should be around for another couple of millenia. I was surprised to find that this ancient monument had been defiled some years ago by the Ordnance Survey people as this Devils Arrow carries the arrow of an O.S. benchmark.
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming, United States
A group of people climbing Devils Tower National Monument. Devils Tower was formed by magma pushing against the earth's surface. As the magma cooled, hexagonal columns formed and were later revealed as surrounding sedimentary rocks eroded away. The cracks left in between the columns make Devils Tower a popular rock climbing attraction. The formation protrudes 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain. A frontal view of the tower gives an idea as to the scale.
Look out she's coming at ya
big dark eyes like Cleopatra
the eyes of a femme fatale
bet you get the ominous feeling
a cold blooded creature in the
dark is stealing toward you
you best beware, take care
She's better than a work of fiction
half ingénue, half a vixen
your little paper doll
but brother she's a wicked sister
subtle and sly, watch it mister
and take my advice, stay away
or number your days
Opiate clouds surround you
an addiction to love has found you out
half out of your mind
fool, when I think about you
I want to wrap my arms around you
and tell you more than words can say
She devil, she conquer
she devil, you want her
you're unaware tonight
of the danger everywhere
My poor little sleeping giant
dreaming warm and silent
where has your Delilah gone?
why don't you wake and see through
every way that she's deceived you
how she moves within?
See, everything the woman touches
it withers and dies in her clutches
why should your fate be
any different from these?
Oh, well I've heard about you
every word that's said about you
the man in the silvery web
he fell for the sweet persuasion
of a black widow spider
now nothing can save him
it's just a matter of time
She devil, she conquer
she devil, you want her
you're unaware tonight
of the danger everywhere
She devil, she conquer
she devil, you want her
you're well aware tonight
of the danger everywhere
but you don't care

The Devils Marbles are described as granite rocks of volcanic origin erode to the formations you now see

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.

Taken last night at Daniels Park, looking southwest towards Devils Head.
Best viewed large/on black, of course.
Started off in a place called Devils Dyke where I stepped in a ton of dog shit, then off to a pub in harpenden where i stunk out the place and round the streets. All in all a good time was had!
