Rise - a photo on Flickriver

Rise

This is the Devils Tower in the Black Hills. Yes, no apostrophe “s.” Aside from the poor grammar of its name, it was never actually supposed to be its name. Some fat, old, white military dude in 1875 must have had his wooden AirPods in, because the dude misinterpreted the name the Native Americans had given it. He somehow had the translation all screwed up from what it was actually called (Bear’s House/Lodge/Tipi/etc depending on the tribe) and thought it was “Bad God’s Tower.” So he was like ok sweet, let’s call this thing Devils Tower… and forgot the apostrophe “s” because his grammar was as piss-poor as mine is.

I just posted all of my 2022 storm-chase photos on my website. Consider check them out if you like severe storms… hopefully you’ll like at least two of them.

Anyway, thanks for scrolling far enough to see my dumb little picture. If you are interested in seeing how I create my dumb little pictures you can head to www.ryandyar.com or check out the link in my profile.
