Searching my photo library for another shot to post in my random series, I came across this forgotten shot of Devils Tower.
Devils Tower is a butte rising 1,267 ft. (386m) above the Belle Fourche River and standing 867 ft. (264m) from base to summit.
The impressive geological formation inspired President Theodore Roosevelt to establish it as the first National Monument in the U.S on Sept. 24, 1906. It is located in northeast Wyoming.
I have just got back from a day in the New Forest with Elle. Lots of fungi and pictures but this has to be my highlight! We had a tip-off as to their location last year and decided to take a punt today. After a while looking we had all but given up and was heading back to the car when we saw one by the side of the path. I ran off into the undergrowth to find the second one. Its a shame they weren't in better condition but cant complain!
The Devil Inside
INXS
Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
Final image from our Bombo trip yesterday morning. This one just screamed B&W. Hope you like "The Devil Inside". Cheers Mike
It's been a while since I last posted, and while I have plenty of photos from the summer I will focus on a more recent one. I took this at Devils River Campground, which is located just south of Green Bay. It's a very quiet and isolated spot that is worth a visit, just check in with the owners of the property before you go.
Lübeck - Moments
The legend of the devil and St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany, tells of a clever deception.
In the 13th century, workers building the church told the curious devil they were constructing a wine bar. Pleased with this idea, the devil offered to help. Upon discovering the truth, the enraged devil attempted to destroy the church with a boulder. A quick-thinking worker promised to build a tavern nearby, appeasing the devil.
The "Devil's Stone" still rests near the church, supposedly bearing the devil's claw marks. In 1999, a bronze statue of a cheerful devil was placed on the stone. The Ratskeller tavern, built across from the church, fulfills the promise made to the devil. This charming tale showcases the wit of Lübeck's people and adds a whimsical touch to the church's history.
For this pinhole test I've taken three different views of a carved Tasmanian Devil outside the Wool Centre in Ross. Each were taken with the Nikon D850 and the Thingyfy pinhole adapter. I call this a test because I wanted to see how this object in deep shade would appear with the right exposure.
With a digital camera the aperture is set to the size of the pinhole which registers as f/0 in the camera. Focus is impossible because there is an unlimited depth of field, and it will be soft. In any case the viewfinder doesn't work. Manual exposure is required. One can then either set the ISO high (but this brings with it noise in the dark shadows), or on a tripod set a long exposure. I find the best results come from using 100 ISO as a base setting and then adjusting the exposure time to match the light. Pinhole is about hands on trial and error. But once you get a feel for the light conditions it is possible to make accurate guesses at exposure times and your biggest challenge will be framing the shot.
Once again the effect is not unlike that of a Holga toy camera or even some early Polaroids.

One of the masters of pinhole camera building and technique is Joe Van Cleave (he also collects old typewriters). He has produced many videos, but in this long one he shows you how to make a cigar box camera from scratch. "Circular Image Pinhole Camera" www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KaqJAT5yOg
“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli
Devil’s Slide Trail is a 1.3-mile multi-use trail, converted from a former segment of Highway 1, that gives hikers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians access the rocky heights of Devil’s Slide above the Pacific Ocean.
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise

On my last evening of my trip through Zion and Bryce, we decided to head over to Escalante area and drop into this location for a possible sunrise shoot. Having shot sunset at Zion, we didn't arrive here until late at night, but when I looked outside I saw some good conditions for some star photography.
As my friend Jared was getting his photography gear together, I walked over and started looking at some of the trail signs around the area. Things along the lines of: "DANGER: Slot canyons can be very tight and you can get trapped in them", and other death warning signs. Then I look down and I see a logbook for people to sign in their times and locations. Being that it's dark outside, I can't see much of anything, so I start thinking to myself, what kind of place is this? I haven't seen signs like this when I have hiked into dangerous mountains and canyons with thousands of feet drops.
Fortunately it turned out that it was more of a precaution, because there was really nothing even remotely dangerous about the area. We set out in the dark and after a bit of wondering around, managed to find these beautiful rock formations. I could see the slight hint of the Milky Way just over the horizon, so I wanted to try and capture it if I could. Once we had our cameras setup, we used some CTO gels with our headlights to do some light painting. That part however took some time to fine tune the intensity and a nice even spread. I am pretty new to adding light painting to my night photography, so I would love some feedback.

Rock formation at large of the "Anses à prunes", one of the place most south of the island of Martinique.
Nearly lost a bagful of camera accessories here as a hugely strong squall blew it into the stream just behind where I took this shot.
Taken at the edge of Llyn Idwal looking towards Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, North Wales at dusk..... such a beautiful place. Funny old thing but Paul Forgham never flinched as I went for a swim to catch my bag......... getting the shot before we lost the light being his priority - Priceless........ Cheers mate, I can still hear you laughing now!
Best seen large, thanks for your time folks.
A dust devil outside Tucson, Arizona.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon of a vertically oriented rotating column of wind. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.
Dust devils form when hot air near the surface rises quickly through a small pocket of cooler, low-pressure air above it. If conditions are just right, the air may begin to rotate. As the air rapidly rises, the column of hot air is stretched vertically, thereby moving mass closer to the axis of rotation, which causes intensification of the spinning effect by conservation of angular momentum. The secondary flow in the dust devil causes other hot air to speed horizontally inward to the bottom of the newly forming vortex. As more hot air rushes in toward the developing vortex to replace the air that is rising, the spinning effect becomes further intensified and self-sustaining. A dust devil, fully formed, is a funnel-like chimney through which hot air moves, both upwards and in a circle. As the hot air rises, it cools, loses its buoyancy and eventually ceases to rise. As it rises, it displaces air which descends outside the core of the vortex. This cool air returning acts as a balance against the spinning hot-air outer wall and keeps the system stable.

We have just retuned from a week in the stunning Cairngorms, the weather wasn't great but we made the most of it none the less.
Here is one of the species of fungi we thought we may be a little late for. With some advice from a friend we managed to find a few specimens of this Devils Tooth, fortunately this one was still in good shape!
We then bumped into a very nice chap who turned out to be a local recorder of toothed fungi. He proceeded to show us dozens more specimens and half a dozen more species of toothed fungi. Unfortunately they had all gone their best but he invited us back up in the coming years and promised to show us around. He has also sent us an excellent guide he co-wrote to toothed fungi of the Cairngorms.
I had never heard of it before, but scree is an accumulation of broken rocks at the bottom of a cliff or other steep rocky mass.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

Let's Travel the World!
I've spent the past decade exploring our world; and documenting the journey in photos and stories. For all the latest updates, follow along on:
The Devil’s bridge is an old ottoman bridge in Bulgaria which connected Thrace with Aegean Sea. It was built by a Bulgarian builder named Dimitar between 1515 and 1518 in order of sultan Selim I. The Bulgarian name of this bridge is “Дяволски мост” (Diavolski most – Devil’s bridge) and the Turkish name is Şeytan Köprüsü. Now this bridge isn’t close to any main roads and it is only a memory for old great times.
The Devil’s Bridge is located near the town of Ardino and the village of Dyadovtsi in the Rhodope mountains, southeastern Bulgaria. See the precise location.
The legend of the Devil’s bridge
Now let’s go back to the XVI century and our builder Dimitar. Until then all bridges built on that place had been destroyed by the rough Arda River and most of the people believed that this place had been cursed. But despite the curse Dimitar decided to try to make another bridge.
Thereupon the Devil appeared to our hero and offered him to reveal the secret for building the bridge. But the Devil had some requirements (the things with small letters in the contract): to inwall the shadow of his wife (that means that the wife will die soon after building the bridge, it is common story in Bulgarian legends), to build it in 40 days, and some other easy tasks like these. Anyway the most interesting requirement for us was that the Devil wanted his own image to be integrated in the bridge. But it was very complicated. He wanted to be both visible and invisible, both touchable and non-existing. If the builder could not do it, the Devil would take his soul as well. About the wife – she was a victim in any case, her soul was already taken.
But Dimitar was able to surprise even the Devil. He was ready in 40 days, the Satan had its requirements fulfilled and left with only one soul – the wife’s one. But his face was staying forever above Arda River thanks to Dimitar the builder. Thx to www.andrey-andreev.com/en/the-devils-bridge/
This is close to the entrance of Devils Arse. I kid you not! According to the information board, its the largest entrance chamber in the UK, no idle boast.
A merge of two exposures. The first was exposed for the sky, th second exposure was for the foreground.
The confluence of Porcupine Creek and Devil Canyon with the Bighorn River and Bighorn Canyon at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a National Park Service unit that straddles the Montana-Wyoming State line between the Pryor and Bighorn Mountain ranges. The Devil Canyon Overlook, which is only accessible from the south entrance near Lovell, WY (there is no through-road from the north to south end of the National Recreation Area) offers a number of views of the Bighorn River 1000 to 1500 feet below as it flows north through the third largest canyon in the United States.
