Devils Tower Base

A more general view of the base of Devils Tower. The PiP shows a closer view of a climber, working their way up this sheer wall of rock. Image processed with GIMP. (We tried to revisit Devils Tower this August 2024, and arrived the morning after a huge storm. Turns out that the place was completely closed, hundreds or more of trees down, roads washed out, buildings damaged, etc, etc. The rock, of course, is still there. I wonder about these rock climbers, however, and how they fared during that storm.)

Climbing the Wall

Fortunately, I had my telephoto lens, and could capture this image of a rock climber, working his way up the sheer rock wall of the Devils Tower. The PiP is a more general view of the base of the Tower. For Sunday Challenge: striving, always striving. Image processed with GIMP.
