The Devils Marbles is a large field of boulders in the central Australian desert of the Northern Territory. There is an overnight camping area and it is wonderful to experience sunset and sunrise amongst the huge stones. The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land's Aboriginal traditional owners.
This is a photograph taken in the summer of 2011 at Devil's Lake state park in Wisconsin. Huge rocky cliffs surround the pristine lake and hills cross in the distance with a brilliant cloud filled sky. My daughter and I hiked one of the trails on the western side of the lake that day. Some of the rocks make an excellent foreground for the view of the park's lake from above.
The Dancing Devils of Yare (Diablos Danzantes del Yare) is the name of a religious festivity celebrated in San Francisco de Yare, Miranda state, Venezuela, at the Corpus Christi day. The Sociedades del Santísimo (Societies of the Holiest) are in charge of the celebration. Its origins are traced back to the 18th century, being the oldest brotherhood of the American continent.
Every Corpus Christi (nine Thursdays after Holy Thursday), a ritual dance is performed by the so called "Dancing Devils", who wear colorful garments (commonly all red), layers of stripped fabric, masks of grotesque appearance and also accessories like crosses, scapulars, rosaries and other sorts of amulets.
The fraternity of the devils is divided in hierarchical order, represented in their masks
A 10 hectoliter fermentation tank at devils Backbone. Notice the cone at the bottom of the vessel. As active fermentation concludes, yeast will settle there in a very thick slurry. The most viable yeast will be pitched (used) for another batch of beer.

The Brew Ridge Trail meanders through Virginia's scenic Nelson and Albemarle Counties.
On a chilly, dank December afternoon, we toured two of the breweries along that trail: Devils Backbone (brewpub) in Roseland and Blue Mountain (brewery with a tap room) in Afton, both on VA route 151. We were welcomed by good beer, good food, and fine folk.

Devil's Churn, not churning too much for us this morning. Cape Perpetua Scenic Area. I guess it is churning a little bit at the mouth, but it is supposed to spray up water from the narrowest part. You have to be there at the right time. We barely got out of the car for this, but it looks like there was a nice walking trail along the coast here.
