Livingstone Island, Zambia
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls.
During the drier months of the year, May to October, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop.
Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.
You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls.
For such God-fearing people, New Englanders sure do love the devil when it comes to naming natural features.
Looking south from near the summit of Mount Monument. The rock is a knob of the super-hard and erosionally-resistant Cambrian Chesire quartzite poking up in the middle of the Housatonic Valley, which is largely underlain by the Stockbridge marlble and associated carbonate rocks. They're all folded about like toffee now, but the Chesire is basically +/- 500 million year-old beach sand deposited at the equator on the shores of a continent called Laurentia-- the ancestor to present day North America.
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!
When He created a little devil, like any proud mom the good Lord exclaimed "Darling little devil !!".And yes,this was long long ago,when the devil was a tiny tot and amused God with his endless pranks on the good little angels.He would steal their halos while they slept and prance around with the halos hung on his little horns.And then one day as he grew up,,like any harassed mom the good Lord exclaimed "The devil !!" :D.The good little devil is approximately 6 inches.

Devil's Tower looms up from the ground in northeastern Wyoming. The vertical lines are the earth's rock layers on edge.

Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming. Devils Tower is American's first national monument, created by President Theodore Roosevelt under the Antiquities Act in 1906.
The Tasmanian Devil was once widespread in Australia and Tasmania. Now it it found only in Tasmania. It is severely threatened by a contagious, carcinogenic fungus that spreads during social interactions. It is listed by the IUCN as "endangered" and declining. I was fairly lucky to get this shot since the devils are generally very nocturnal.
The Tasmanian Devil is the largest surviving marsupial carnivore. An even larger marsupial carnivore -- the Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian Wolf appears to have been persecuted to extinction sometime between 1930 and today. The Thylacine was an extraordinary example of convergent evolution. It looked remarkably like a dog -- except for its very stiff tail and the stripes on its back. Do check out the Thylacine Museum on-line for remarkable videos of the last Thylacine in the Hobart Zoo in the 1930s (http://www.naturalworlds.org/thylacine/).
For more information about both the Thylacine and the plight of the Tasmanian Devil I recommend book: "Carnivorous Nights - On the Trail of the Tasmanian Tiger" (2006) by Margaret Mittelbach, Michael Crewdson, and Alexis Rockman, which is simultaneously a humorous travelogue and a very serious review of the status of these two species and a passionate explanation of why they need to be saved..
