Hehe thanks James, yeah you win this one...i shall have to come up with something worse now! I'm going to add this to my faves not only becuase it's a great dedication, but it also features in one of my most favourite films of all time! I'm normally jealous of your travels anyway, but this really one takes the biscuit!
Lovely to see a still of this place, from a great POV. Very good detail in the pillars too, reminds me of some of the formations in the north west of Scotland created by the same process....now, where's my modelling clay..? ;o)
tfs and have a great weekend mate.

hello James,
Really interesting natural Tower, which must be very impressive to see from a certain distance. Amazing regular shapes created by erosion. It's for sure a monument.
Thanks also for the interesting note

Hi James,
Not sure your title wins cringe of the month over "hide and Sika" but it's close. The picture is wonderful. Makes me wonder if there is anywhere on earth you haven't been to. This is not one of the most famous tourist trips in the US. The Devil's Tower is beautiful with wonderful details. Lucky you had a perfect sky with nice clouds. I love the centered composition and the beautiful trees.

Hello James,
A great shot, a fine tribute to Paul and an enlightening note.
The central composition is just right and the lighting and sky Bg serve well to diplay this Devils Tower in a fine way.
It is difficult to guess its height above the surrounding land -over 60 meters?
TFS and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hello James
This is a groan worthy title indeed as was pauls!!..(a fine dedication to a great photographer though)
I am amazed at the scale of this structure as this and your workshop pictures portray so well...All we need now is a photoshop whizz to clone in an alien craft and you then would have one of the all time TN greats!!
All the Best to You James and thanks for sharing another fantastic view of our planets rarities.

I have seen that movie a dozen times...Love the sound track as well as the very young actors, now turned into a mini-me:-) for a persona like me to see this and be in a way so close in location and not having known that this really even existed is a super surprise...I remember him building a model of it in the movie..wow...what a cool movie and a super lesson... You are my hero James...

I love Paul's expression, " takes the biscuit!"... I've not heard that before.. : )
One has to love that 24-70 lens. I can usually guess what lens you used before I check on it. The darn thing is soooo heavy, and not very wide angled with the crop factor on my camera, and it isn't stabilized... but is sure is SHARP! This is a very nice shot. I like the sweeping curve up to the sky. The workshop photo really shows the size and uniqueness of this formation.
