Does anyone recognise this place then? There's a clue in the title?
In America it's known as 'Devils Tower' - North East Wyoming - but the film buffs will recognise it better as the place where the aliens landed in the film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'
If you have seen the film you'll remember everyone making the shape of the tower out of mashed potato, plastercine etc and at the end the space ship landed at the top and the door opened and out came the aliens - well not real aliens, just madgets in rubber suits stinking of cabbage - if you look at the third picture you'll see what I mean!!
What an amazing thing to see though - it truly is unique in its shape and size and has something to do with the core of a volcano solidifying and then, through time the surrounding rock was eroded leaving this wierd shape. See - nothing to do with Madgets after all!!
We left Devils Tower and headed for Yellowstone park, which is, as they say - Another story all together!
