Devil's Tower - a photo on Flickriver

Devil's Tower

            After we left Mt. Rushmore, we made the beautiful backcountry drive up above Moorcroft, Wyoming - passing through towns like Hulett (pop. 10 as I recall), Alva, and Aladdin to the amazing Devil's Tower. We got there with about 30 minutes of daylight left so not a lot of time to make images - plus it was raining somewhat.

For this image of a longhorn steer and the tower itself, I stood along a barbed-wire fenceline, camera on tripod with umbrealla in my left hand. About three shots into this endeavor, the steer turned and showed me his backside until I gave up. A shy longhorn - go figure.

The Tower - by the way - is so amazing. A magma plug if you will - it used to be completely surrounded by earth. Amazing what a couple million years can do to erase all that and just leave this stellar monument behind.
