Tim Emmett soloing The Devil's Appendix (VI, 6), a rarely-formed but magnificent icefall in Clogwyn Y Geifr / Devil's Kitchen of Snowdonia.
This one is from 4th July road trip to South Dakota. It was a cloudy day, but it cleared just before the sunset. Was altogether a different experience watching this huge rock formation in golden colors on gray background. Something I'd never experienced. A must visit palce.

There is a temple in Bangkok that has never given me a positive vibe.
Every time I walk by, it always feels empty and dark.
Just outside the temple grounds, I came across this on the wall.
Let me know what you think—perhaps it’s just my imagination.
Love to hear what you see.
I hit the road today for a daylong photo shoot with my friend Darrell Robinson. Darrell pointed us in the direction of Devil's Falls a short way from the American River outside of Colfax. Darrell is a brave soul. He navigated us down a narrow eroded dirt road called Yankee Jim's Road with a steep drop on the canyon side of the road, across a 100 year old suspension bridge with a safety rating of 3/100, up a steep eroded grade through a canyon recently ravaged by forest fire and a monsoonal storm to this lovely waterfall. Did I tell you that I was driving. Here's a link to a beautiful photo that Darrell took of the upper portion of the this lovely waterfall for perspective. You'll notice the same rocks on the bottom of his photo that show up in my photo above.

This was takem after a night of very heavy rain. The previous day, people were playing and swimming in the river!

My previous uploads featured the view from the top deck of a bus at Devil’s Dyke in Sussex, some 711 feet (216m) above sea level. It seems only right to show the rest of the bus, so here it is: Seaford & District’s immaculate former Dublin Volvo Olympian / Alexander, P772 SWC. Having walked across the Downs from the top of Ditchling Beacon (even higher at 813 feet above sea level), a trip back down to Brighton seafront on an open-top Olympian was most welcome :-)
It's not showy, but is a new species for my prairie wildflowers species set. I only saw one of these plants so I was lucky to get this.

Afternoon light warms the face of Devil's Tower, in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming, which rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain over the Belle Fourche River. It's summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devil's Tower was the first National Monument, established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906. The Lakota Indian names for the tower translate as "Bear Lodge," and "Brown Buffalo Horn." "Devil's Tower" is a mistranslation of the original Indian name. It came to national attention in the 1977 movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," when the aliens landed on it at the end of the movie.

Aralia spinosa, commonly known as devil's walking stick. Nasty and invasive. Every part of this plant has spikes. The stalk here has hard and ripping sharp spikes, as do each leaf and flower. Spreads with underground root system and almost impossible to control. Fascinating plant though. Do wish it wasn't in the yard.
The three shot montage is a continuation of the stalk top to bottom. Diameter approx. 1.75" (45cm)
Devil's Dyke is a well known beauty spot on the South Downs near Brighton. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. There are two explanations of how it was formed. The first says it was created over 10,000 years ago by melt waters at the end of the last Ice Age. Nah, boring! The truth, of course (or, at least, the one I prefer), is that it was dug by the Devil, who wanted to drown all the people living in the area, by digging a trench through to the sea, because they were the last in the country to convert to Christianity and he was miffed at the thought of losing his only stronghold. He had boasted he could complete the work in one day, but was tricked into thinking it was already dawn (by someone with a candle and a cockerel ... really?), whereupon he abandoned the job and fled, humiliated, never to return. Oh, and he threw some of the earth down in disgust as he fled ... forming the Isle of Wight. So now you know. :)))
The people on the footpath give an idea of scale.
Finally got around to the Devil's Punchbowl photo portion of the 8/4/2019 Photo Tour. It was the last part - tide heading to its low point - and I was tired, and there were a lot of people clustered along the railing (limiting photo angles). Had to really modify all 3 photos to keep them in different ways. This one: saturation way up, center bright point moved a bunch towards the dark, exposure down a notch, shadows removed a lot.
The approach to Llyn Idwal and Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia.....with another hailstorm on the way !!
The location is Devil's Speedway off West Side Road in Death Valley California. Just in back of the salt is Devil's Golf Course.
These were not my props.
Devil @ Dublin
Brussels Airlines A320 OO-SNA in special red devils livery, operating special flight SN1061 from Brussels to Dublin with the football team aka Belgian Red Devils to play Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday 27th, full time score 2-2.
The aircraft overnighted at Dublin, returning the squad after the match, departing back to Brussels as SN1062.
Brussels Airlines are no strangers to amazing liveries.
