Devils Tower sent on September 11, 2014 (10:42) by Herman. 22 comments, 1200 views.

La Devils Tower.. questa magnifica quanto incredibile torre basaltica si trova in Wyoming, lungo la Highway 24. La particolarità della stessa, oltre all'isolamento che ne esalta lo slancio, è che le sue pareti sono caratterizzate da particolarissimi solchi, "interpretati" dai Lakota (nativi americani che ritengono sacro questo luogo) in una loro leggenda come incisioni dovute a degli orsi che cercavano di raggiungere delle bambine trasportate dal Grande Spirito, per salvarle, sulla cima della torre. Il mio interesse verso questo luogo, più che per la leggenda o per il fatto di essere stato il set di "Incontri ravvicinati del Terzo Tipo" di Spielberg, è nato grazie al ricordo di splendide foto di arrampicata "anni '80" con protagonisti Patrick Edlinger e Catherine Destivelle. La foto è stata scattata lungo il Red Beds Trail, sentiero lasciato "al naturale" (a differenza dal ben più frequentato Tower Trail), in una giornata in cui le condizioni meteo erano davvero mutevoli, con l'indubbiol vantaggio di regalare a tratti delle condizioni di luce che contribuivano ad esaltare le splendide geometrie della Torre. La scelta di includere l'albero carbonizzato è data dall'idea di "legare" maggiormente l'immagine al sinistro nome dato alla Torre.. fatemi sapere se condividete tale "interpretazione"!!

Thanks Diego-)
in fact the tower rises to less than 400 meters from the River place in the valley below and the portion "special" wall will develop a little more than 100-150 meters, but despite these measures, for nothing exceptional appearance is quite remarkable, especially (but not only) from this side .. wow!

Hello Joseph .. it is a pleasure to "hear"! :-)
as I wrote (copiously:-D) this tower was one of the places to which I tied visual memories of years gone by where I wanted particularly to see it live .. and I must say it did not disappoint the expectations !! ;-)
Thanks for the nice comment ...:-)

Even this photo I really like the composition and the tree "charred" emphasizes how well you say, the epithet given to this particular rock structure! ;-)
Congratulations and greetings,:-)

Taken by the Red Beds Trail, the trail that goes around a little bit off and not paved .. the sky is the classic plus in the morning there was quite a storm (that I met along the way ..) .. ;-)
Hello and thank you! :-)

Shooting spectacular, from the cover of a place that I would love to see. Excellent composition and exposure. Well done. Hello. David

In my case it was one of the places I really wanted to see .. and I must say it is definitely worth it! ;-)
The light that varied continuously, typical in these places especially after storms, added even more magic to the place .. Unfortunately this was also the longest leg of the trip and then I spoke mooooooooolto less than I wanted!:-( ;-)
Thank you for all the nice comments David! ;-)
