Devil's Tower National Monument

I'm not really sure why Devil's Tower looks the way it does, but supposedly it used to be an active volcano, and erosion has somehow removed the parts of the mountain that used to be there, leaving the strange looking columns that you see.

Nick and Joe climbing over the ruins of some of the columns that used to hang on the mountain. If you look carefully, you can see that parts of them have fallen down.

Nick was pretty pleased to see Devil's Tower. I woke up one day after moving back to Richmond, and I found him outside building a to-scale replica of the mountain in the backyard. I think he likes it.

Were I to become a photographer, I'd probably do some sort of photo-essay on my little brother. He's just so damn photogenic.

Of course, no one takes any pictures of me...

The sunlight was very good for some of these shots.
