Death Valley is such an inhospitable place that early explorers named many features after the devil. These approximately 6-foot-tall clumps of arrowweed were perhaps mistaken in the shimmering heat for corn shocks left to dry after harvest. The incessant wind blows the sand away from the root of the arrowweed, leaving the plant on a pedestal of roots and dirt. The native Americans used the stems of the plant for arrows.
Waves crash through a long narrow chasm in the volcanic rock at Devils Churn at Cape Perpetua in Oregon. The chasm is about 100 feet long; this is one section of it.
Happy Wave Wednesday!
Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area is a state day use park on the central Oregon Coast in the United States. It is centered on a large bowl naturally carved in a rock headland which is partially open to the Pacific Ocean. Waves enter the bowl and often violently churn, swirl, and foam. Wikipedia
We loved the amazing and quiet view of the tower from the Joyner Ridge Trail. Plus, there is a really cool oak forest filled with deer!

One of Australia's most iconic reptiles, the spike-covered Thorny Devil lives in the hot arid interior of the country. These lizards jerk as they move along the sand dunes, feeding on thousands of ants per day.
Thorny Devils are so specialised for life in the desert, that they can lay in any dew they come across and absorb water through capillary action to their mouth via grooves in their scales!
Devils Postpile National Monument is located near Mammoth Mountain in extreme northeastern Madera County in eastern California. The national monument protects Devil's Postpile, an unusual rock formation of columnar basalt, formed when huge lava flows cooled. Devils Postpile National Monument encompasses 798 acres and includes two main tourist attractions: the Devil's Postpile formation and Rainbow Falls, a waterfall on the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River.
In 1906 President Teddy Roosevelt designated Devils Tower as our 1st national monument. The tower was formed by magma which cooled underground and was later exposed after millions of years of erosion.
Totally magnificent sight out there rising above the rolling hills...Close Encounters of the Third Kind to be sure!

‘Men who does fight
And sure they’ll die
And it doesn’t help
If you only just cry
Cause nothing but a bad time
Makes the devil smile’

The Devils Punchbowl Falls at Arthur's Pass.
I struggled to fit this one all in and keep the stream for a bit of foreground interest. I really needed a wide angle for this but I was trying to make do with just two lenses this trip.
The Devil’s pulpit - ❤️ this place even though it spoiled my day as I slipped into the waterfall pool and lost my new phone

Canyon Devil's Gate (Khosta).
Russia, Krasnodar region, the city of Sochi.
The canyon is located near the town of Khosta, about 24 kilometers from the center of Sochi and 14 kilometers from Adler.
This is a rare natural site on the border of the Caucasus Natural Biosphere Reserve and the Sochi National Park.
The length of the canyon is Devil's Gate about 800 (eight hundred) meters, the height of the steep walls is more than 50 (fifty) meters, the width at the narrowest point is 3 (three) meters, and the maximum depth is 4.5 (four and a half) meters in the summer months.
At the confluence of the Vostochnaya (Big) Khosta River and the Zapadnaya (Small) Khosta River there is a small lake that is buried in the shadow of the Colchian forest. Green ferns, mosses and relic boxwood cover the shores of the reservoir. These plants came to us from the far preglacial period and remember the ancient dinosaurs. Shadow and coolness, the murmur of river water and the unique nature make the place popular for visiting. The walls of the canyon are narrowed, the bowl of the lake is closed by a narrow gorge of the gorge along which the water of the Bolshaya Khosta river flows.
The Ferreres Aqueduct, also known as the Pont del Diable ("Devil's Bridge"), is an ancient bridge, part of the Roman aqueduct built to supply water to the ancient city of Tarraco, today Tarragona in Catalonia, Spain.

"Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge”) is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,112 feet (1,558 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (5.45 km2).
In recent years about 1% of the Monument's 400,000 annual visitors climb Devils Tower, mostly through traditional climbing techniques.[3]
Film director Steven Spielberg used the location in his 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
