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 :^)
'Tis the eye of childhood
that fears a painted devil'.- Lady Macbeth ...
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.
Devils Falls is a twin waterfall on Yankee Jim's Rd between Foresthill and Colfax which runs over the American River.
Devils Tower Wyoming from the entrance road inside the first US National Monument. The road circles around the tower to the Visitor Center. From this spot a trail goes to the tower; once there a short easy trail encircles the base of the Tower which is also accessible from the Visitor Center. More in PhotoStream and/or Black Hills album.

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 area is located near Wauchope, approximately 114 km south of Tennant Creek, in the Northern Territory. The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land's Aboriginal traditional owners. The ‘Devils Marbles’ or ‘Karlu Karlu’ with its gigantic, rounded granite boulders, some spectacularly poised, is a remarkable landscape. Scattered clusters of these ‘marbles’, including many balancing rocks, are spread across a wide, shallow valley. The Devils Marbles is a nationally and internationally recognised symbol of Australia’s outback.
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!
April 18, 2012 marked the 70th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid...the "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" raid led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle when 16 B-25 medium bombers launched from the carrier USS Hornet and attacked targets in Japan.
In a tribute to the five surviving Doolittle Raiders...and to the memory of the other 75...20 B-25's gathered at Grimes Field in Urbana, OH. On the morning of April 17, 2012; the bombers launched from Grimes in 90 second intervals for the short trip down to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the National Museum of the Air Force.
Activities continued for the remainder of the week...including a Memorial Flight featuring a mass formation of the B-25's.
This is USMC PBJ-1J "Devil Dog" launching from Grimes Field. This image is actually screen grab from the short video I shot of "Devil Dog" taking off...it's not the best quality, but I'm trying to post at least one image of each of the planes that appeared at the Reunion.
Thanks to Ron Kaplan with the Gathering of B-25’s for the Media access that made this photo location possible!
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.
