I meet this sympathic devil last night, at the new year eve. He was drunk and wore a rather ridiculous blue hat. But his smile was really nice.

This thing was weird. Story is, that they do not know where the water goes. They drop things into it, thinking that Superior is only 1 mile away that it would pop up in the lake. But it never does. Thousands of gallons of water every day and they dont know where the water goes? I think they do, but it'd ruin the mystery if they said.
My idea is that there is an underground cavern with an underground river system.
Edited Trace Gas Explorer image of dust devil tracks on Mars.
Original caption: This remarkable image was taken in the Terra Sabaea region of Mars, west of Augakuh Vallis, by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. This mysterious pattern sits on the crest of a ridge, and is thought to be the result of dust devil activity – essentially the convergence of hundreds or maybe even thousands of smaller martian tornadoes.
This image is a colour-composite representation where features that are bluer compared to the average colour of Mars are shown in bright blue hues. In actual colour, the streaks would appear dark red. Dust devils churn up the surface material, exposing fresher material below.
The reason why the streaks are so concentrated on the ridges is not known at present, but a relationship to orographic lift as masses of carbon dioxide air flow uphill and converge with other air masses is one possibility.
The image was taken on 8 February 2019 and is centred at 26.36ºN/56.96ºE. North is up.

This is as far downstream as we could get in the bottom of the canyon. The water was up to my shorts and COLD (well, it is October and the sun doesn't get down into the narrow sections for much of the day). And with the ultraslick mud on the bottom, it was only a matter of time before one of us would slip and get very wet. And cold. And muddy red :^(
Thanks to Jeannette for the name :^)
(tech note: dark shadows on the right wall and bright sun on the left meant I needed a multi-exposure HDR. No place to put a tripod (and no tripod) meant handheld. I lucked out and it came out OK :^)
Copper Falls State Park in Wisconsin. This area is marked by conglomerate rock that is the result of earth's tilted pressure. Easily seen from a bridge is the Bad River passing through shale and sandstone layers that appear as a rocky gate, thus the name Devil's Gate.

never the less - this sculpture terrified me as a child. I saw it today when the church attached to the school i went to was closed.
Something a Little Different,Made it for a T-shirt but i don't think it came out right so..i scrapped it.. Made all in Illustrator
Devils Falls is a twin waterfall on Yankee Jim's Rd between Foresthill and Colfax which runs over the American River.
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!
He's not yawning. He's showing off his mighty teeth to warn his brothers in a show of power. BTW, he's not even a year old and can bite through human bone!! yowsers

The Thorny Devil is an Australian lizard. It grows up to 20 cm and can live up to 20 years. The food that the devil mainly eats is ants.

One of BR's last steam locomotives at Devil's Bridge on the narrow gauge Vale of Rheidol railway. I don't know how this line ended up in BR ownership and remained this way until it was privatised in 1989, but it's interesting nevertheless.
This is the only one of the many pictures I took on that day that turned out OK. A problem with the shutter on my Olympus OM-10 meant that all the others were overexposed and suffered from terrible camera shake. Unfortunately, this affected so many of my photos from around this time before I realised there was something wrong with the camera, not me!
Devils Tower National Monument, September 2003
On our way home from Grand Teton National Park, we planned to stop in Rapid City, SD to visit some friends. Along the way to Rapid City we briefly stopped at Devil's Tower. During our visit we hiked the Tower Trail along the base of the monolith.
Devil's Tower was America's first National Monument, granted that status by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It is composed of volcanic rock that was once molten and forced upwards between other rock. The molten material did not reach the surface, but instead cooled as it was forced up. Over time the surrounding rock was weathered away by erosion to reveal the Tower's presence.

125 foot high Devil's Slide is an unusual cliff rock formation on the side of Cinnabar Mountain, north of Yellowstone National Park. This distinctive formation was created from alternate beds of limestone, sandstone, and quartzites that have been tilted to lie nearly vertical and have eroded at different rates.

The "Devil Mountain" obviously has quite a few legends associated with it. The most well known is a version involving a Franciscan padre from a nearby mission, who in defiance of his new Native converts decides to ascend the cursed mountain to show the glory of God. At the top, he observes the hundreds of miles of land, which in his mind sprang up with cathedrals, orchards and gardens. At this point, the Devil shows up as an elderly, well dressed figure, and before he could be driven off, the Devil tempts the friar with a vision of the future. Succumbing to the knowledge, the padre agrees. With a flourish of his hat, the Devil bids the padre to look to the West, where Spanish soldiers and friars head off with the horses and banners and crosses into the sunset. Taken aback, the friar replies, “The seed they have planted shall thrive and prosper on this fruitful soil.” The Devil then points to the East, where come large groups of men with blue eyes and blonde hair appear, and the trees and ground tear up as they arrive. Horrified, the padre asks why the newcomers arrive, and is responded by a trip to the underworld, where he finds flowing rivers of gold. The Devil offers the padre to return to Spain to enjoy his life and delay the onslaught, but is driven off by the padre, who is wounded in the fight. And of course the inevitable arrives.
This version is quite popular, and in fact I have seen a painting of it at one of California's old state capitols. However this version was actually written in 1863 as the "Legend of Monte Diablo" by the famed author Bret Harte in the Atlantic Monthly. He appeared to have made up the entirety of the story.
