A rather unique POV of a classic steam powered road roller, taken at Cromford Steam rally, Derbyshire
The Indian Roller is a stocky bird about 26–27 cm long and can only be confused within its range with the migratory European Roller. The breast is brownish and not blue as in the European Roller. The crown and vent are blue. The primaries are deep purplish blue with a band of pale blue. The tail is sky blue with a terminal band of Prussian blue and the central feathers are dull green. The neck and throat are purplish lilac with white shaft streaks. The bare patch around the eye is ochre in colour. The three forward toes are united at the base. Rollers have a long and compressed bill with a curved upper edge and a hooked tip. The nostril is long and exposed and there are long rictal bristles at the base of the bill.
Their main habitat is cultivation, thin forest and grassland. They are often seen perched on roadside electric wires. They descend to the ground to capture their prey which may include insects, arachnids, small reptiles and amphibians. Fires attract them and they will also follow tractors for disturbed invertebrates. In agricultural habitats in southern India, they have been found at densities of about 50 birds per km2. They perch mainly on 3—10 metre high perches and feed mostly on ground insects. Nearly 50% of their prey are beetles and 25% made up by grasshoppers and crickets. The feeding behaviour of this roller and habitat usage are very similar to that of the Black Drongo. During summer, they may also feed late in the evening and make use of artificial lights and feed on insects attracted to them.

Bought them last week at Cheapskates in Memphis for Roller Derby practice this summer. Watch out now!
One of the crazier roller coasters at Universal Studios, Florida. This was called "The Hulk" Roller Coaster.
One day while I was in Texas, and it was my aunt's day to care for my grandma, my mom let me put her hair in rollers. She's a huuuuuuge baby though, so she shook her head all around & whined about them being too hot & ended up with the mess you see in the photo. Her hair didn't look much different once we took them out, but we had fun though, and that was the whole point.
