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.
This capture of Devil's Thumb is located North of Delta, Colorado. Devil's Thumb Golf Course is named after this rock formation.

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:
I can stand the cold when hiking, but 30 to 40 miles wind. The wind cut right through my insulated underwear. This hike is a 20 minute strenuous hike, we didn't make it but a family of five made the hike. Devil's Courthouse is a mountain in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. The mountain is located at the Western edge of the Pisgah National Forest about 10 miles northwest of Brevard. Located at milepost 422.4 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Devil's Courthouse has a moderate/strenuous trail climbing a half mile to its peak where panoramic views. Cherokee lore had been reported to state that Jutaculla (alternative English spelling is Judaculla; Cherokee name is Tsul'kălû'), a slant eyed giant, dwells in the cave in Devil's Courthouse.
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.
This Devil is part of our team logo. My "team" is comprised of Wanda, Cody, Christi and myself. We have really slacked off over Winter (and Christi is hardly ever around when we go) but I try really hard to make sure everyone is included in stuff like this!
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.

Devils Fork Creek flows thru hollowed out sandstone. I wish I had taken more time photographing this area, but even though we were there very early its still an effort to get a shot before others arrive
The route of the A3 London to Portsmouth trunk road can be seen below, now returned to grass. The road now is taken by tunnel under the hills.

After a bit of time struggling with motivation, I took a drive with my sister today to Finnich Glen, which is the home of the Devils Pulpit (the nodule of rock in this picture).
It's a bit of a scramble down, and if you aren't comfortable off road then you certainly won't be comfortable on the way down.
I was a bit off my game, but did enjoy splashing about in the river trying to find compositions. My boots will likely take days to dry though...

Descend down the 100ft gorge via the Devils Steps to the Devil's Pulpit. A circular red sandstone rock which was carved by the waters of the Carnock Burn.
In Outlander Finnich Glen was the location for St Ninians Spring, also know as Liar's Spring.
