ATV Off-roading Trilogy (aka Quad Trilogy): Hillside Rollover, Mud Hole, River Crossing
I have a long list of various off-roading scenes I want to build all based on photos I take while quadding (that's why my scenes always have me taking photos in them!). I decided to do the River Crossing back in 2016. I had tried the water technique in a previous build and finally got enough of the 8x8 plates to make this scene work.
In early 2017 I found out about BrickCan and thought I should build more off-road scenes to take to the show. I came up with the idea of a 'trilogy' of quad scenes - 3 different scenes, each showing a specific action with slightly different settings, but presented as one 'story'. So I chose scenes of getting stuck in a mud hole (which I had built previously, but wanted to do a 'better' version), and rolling a quad on a hillside, as I thought they fit together with the river crossing as a good story.
The ATV Off-roading Trilogy travelled to a few different shows in 2017 (several times in a suitcase!):
- BrickCan (Richmond, BC - *won "It's a Thing" award)
- Brickspo (Moose Jaw, SK - *won "Best of Town")
- Brix n Blox (Calgary, AB)
- BrickCon (Seattle, WA)
- BricksLA (Los Angeles, CA) in 2018
I photographed it back in 2017, but it was before I really knew how to do backdrops, and was instead spending tons of time post-processing in PS to get a floating white background. That is a LOT of work when you have things like trees with irregular outlines. Unfortunately I had to take apart the builds before I learned to photograph them better. Now over 2 years later I finally gave up on the editing, and am just going to post the pics as-is - hopefully the backgrounds aren't too distracting!
Taking the B51 SW of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 27 Apr 2013
This Chinese-built dump truck had rolled over earlier, but was still lying in the road, with stones places instead of road cones.
CHARLIE IS AN ABUSED DOG THAT NEEDS AN ANGEL. PLEASE HELP US FOR CHARLIE'S SAKE.
We didn't find Charlie, he found us. It was a cold night and there he was in the bushes trying to stay warm. He looked like he had been badly abused. His eye was swollen shut, his lower jaw was gone, he had open sores and walked with a limp. It took a while of putting blankets outside and food before he trusted us. It's amazing he could eat. Over time the wounds healed but the scar of the abuse stayed. He was very scared of everyone. Charlie is a Chow mix, weighs about 50 pounds and is about 2 years old.
Once he gets to know you, he rolls on his back for a tummy rub. He loves kids, small dogs and cats. My landlady said we can't keep him and gave us only two weeks to find him a home.
Please adopt Charlie so he can see what a lovely family can be.

At 0450 this morning we heard a very loud bang at the front of our home. When we looked, this rigid truck had fallen over. The driver was ok, just shaken and the truck is now back on its wheels.

Atlantis rolls over from Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1 to the Vehicle Assembly Building on May 17th, 2011.
Note: There are not two sets of twins in the photo, just a couple of people who kept walking around as I took the photos, so they ended up in two frames of the panorama.

………………………………………………………………………………………….
With this photographic story made last year 2022, in the town of Limina, in the province of Messina (I made the previous story in the town of Calatabiano in the province of Catania), of the two typical traditional Sicilian religious feasts that have in common the devotion towards San Filippo, I end with this Saint (with the next two stories, I will take a break, with two topics of a different nature, different from the Sicilian religious feasts); Saint Philip is depicted in "black" color because a legend sees Him as the protagonist of a fight in the Underworld against Lucifer, from whose fight He comes out covered in soot. Saint Philip is a much celebrated saint here in Sicily, but not only that, He is also celebrated in the Salerno area, in Calabria (following the path he took during his life) up to the cult of Him present on the island of Malta. The proximity to Taormina (the country where I live and work), the towns of Calatabiano and Limina, made my task easier, in both towns the traditional feasts, take place over two days; in Limina during the first day the Saint is carried on the shoulders from a church located on the outskirts of the center of the town of Limina to "Murazzo locality", it is about 8 kilometers of uninterrupted running (except for a brief stop for recollection in the locality of "Durbi"), therefore eight days away (the so-called "octave") the Saint comes out carried on his shoulder with an "unbridled-fiendish" run from another church in Limina, arriving after a very steep and very tiring climb up to the top of " Calvario mountain", to then go back down and wander among the districts of the town, (and beyond, up to the district of Durbi, to then return): it is not a question of a simple wandering, in well-established moments, the Saint is "made to dance" with an unbridled coming and going on straight paths alternating with a whirling rotary movement on itself: this is a substantial difference with the float of Calatabiano, the latter is very heavy (about 12 quintals), it follows an impervious path, very steep and steep, with stone "steps" partially missing (the ancient path to reach the Norman castle), the "parody" with the exorcisms performed by the Black Saint, consists in the relative speed impressed on the Saint during the path, instead in Limina, the vara being lighter, allows to devotees rapid, rectilinear and swirling gaits, they too recall the convulsive movements made by the demoniacs subjected to the exorcisms of the Saint (a certain risk of rollover is inherent in both vare). In the town of Calatabiano San Filippo acquires the appellative of "Siriaco", i.e. coming from Syria, while in the town of Limina he acquires the appellation "d'Agira", from the name of the town, in the province of Enna, where He will die: is always the same saint (the physiognomy of the face changes slightly), in both statues the right hand is raised to send a blessing, or to perform an exorcism, the left hand holds a book (it is the "apotropaic" document that gave Him St. Peter to enable Him to defeat the forces of Evil). As in the previous story on San Filippo of Calatabiano, also in this one by Limina, in inserting the photographs I did not use a "chronological criterion" of the two days. Now a few brief notes on the life of this saint, also to try to understand how the cult of him was born in Sicily, but also in other countries. There are two sources that speak of San Filippo, called "the Chronicles of Eusebio d'Agira" and "the Chronicles of Athanasius", these chronicles are largely discordant with each other, except for the descriptions on His characteristics as a priest and miracle worker, on His ability to perform exorcisms by driving out demons from the possessed. He was probably born in Thrace (south-eastern region of the Balkan peninsula in 40 AD (?), at the time it was a Roman province, in the time of Arcadius, Eastern Roman emperor, born of a Syrian father and a Roman mother, in during his childhood he was educated to the principles of Christianity which was spreading also in those lands.He comes from Thrace to Rome, is ordained a priest by Peter, and it is by him that he is sent to Sicily (pagan land under Roman rule), with the task to evangelize those places and perform exorcisms; he disembarked at Capo Faro in Messina starting his mandate immediately, then he traveled along the eastern part of Sicily heading south towards Etna (here Limina and Calatabiano, affected by his passage, thanks to His ability as a healer and exorcist, they become devoted to him); thus he reaches the town of Agira (Enna), where He dies there after forty years of Apostolate on the island.
Con questo racconto fotografico, realizzato in due giornate nel maggio dello scorso anno 2022 nel paese di Limina, in provincia di Messina (il precedente racconto l’ho realizzato nel paese di Calatabiano in provincia di Catania), delle due tipiche feste religiose tradizionali siciliane che hanno in comune la devozione verso San Filippo, termino con questo Santo; Egli viene raffigurato di colore “nero” poiché una leggenda lo vede protagonista di una lotta negli Inferi contro Lucifero, dalla cui lotta ne viene fuori ricoperto di fuliggine. San Filippo è un santo molto festeggiato qui in Sicilia, ma lo è anche nel Salernitano, in Calabria (seguendo il suo percorso fatto in vita) fino ad arrivare al suo culto presente nell’isola di Malta. La vicinanza con Taormina (paese nel quale abito e lavoro), dei paesi di Calatabiano e Limina, mi ha facilitato il compito; in entrambi i paesi le feste si svolgono in due giornate; a Limina durante la prima giornata il Santo viene portato in spalla da una chiesa posta in lieve periferia dal centro del paese di Limina fino “al borgo Murazzo”, sono circa 8 chilometri di corsa ininterrotta (tranne una breve sosta di raccoglimento in località “Durbi”), quindi ad otto giorni di distanza (la cosiddetta “ottava”) il Santo esce portato in spalla con una corsa “sfrenata-indiavolata” da un’altra chiesa di Limina, giungendo dopo una ripidissima e faticosissima salita fino all’apice del “Monte Calvario”, per poi ridiscenderne e girovagare tra i quartieri del paese, (ed oltre, fino alla contrada di Durbi, per poi ritornare): non si tratta di un semplice girovagare, in momenti ben stabiliti, il Santo viene “fatto ballare” con uno sfrenato andirivieni su percorsi rettilinei alternato ad un movimento rotatorio vorticoso su se stesso: questa è una differenza sostanziale con la vara di Calatabiano, quest’ultima è pesantissima (circa 12 quintali), percorre un percorso impervio, molto ripido e scosceso, con “gradoni” in pietra molto alti in parte mancanti (l’antico percorso per giungere al castello Normanno), la “parodia” con gli esorcismi compiuti dal Santo Nero, consiste nella relativa velocità impressa al Santo durante il percorso, invece a Limina, la vara essendo più leggera, consente ai devoti andature rapide, rettilinee e vorticose, anch’essi rievocano i movimenti convulsi compiuti dagli indemoniati sottoposti agli esorcismi del Santo (un certo rischio di capovolgimento è insito in entrambe le vare). Nel paese di Calatabiano San Filippo acquista l’appellativo di “Siriaco”, cioè proveniente dalla Siria, mentre nel paese di Limina Egli acquista l’appellativo “d’Agira”, dal nome del paese, in provincia di Enna, dove egli morirà: è sempre lo stesso santo (cambia un pochino la fisionomia del volto), in entrambe le statue la mano destra è alzata ad inviare una benedizione, oppure ad effettuare un esorcismo, la mano sinistra stringe un libro (è il documento “apotropaico” che gli diede San Pietro, per consentirgli di vincere le forze del Male). Come nel precedente racconto su San Filippo di Calatabiano, anche in questo di Limina, nell’inserire le fotografie non ho utilizzato un “criterio cronologico” delle due giornate. Ora qualche breve cenno sulla vita di questo santo, anche per cercare di capire come nasce il suo culto in Sicilia, ma anche in altri paesi. Le fonti che parlano di San Filippo sono due, chiamate “le Cronache di Eusebio d’Agira” e “le Cronache di Atanasio”, queste cronache tra loro sono in buona parte discordanti, tranne le descrizioni sulle sue caratteristiche di sacerdote e di taumaturgo, sulle sue capacità di compiere esorcismi scacciando i demoni dagli impossessati. Egli nacque probabilmente in Tracia (regione sud-orientale della penisola balcanica nel 40 d.C. (?), all’epoca era una provincia romana, ai tempi d’Arcadio, imperatore romano d’Oriente, nato da padre siriano e da madre romana, nella sua infanzia fu educato ai principi del Cristianesimo che andava propagandosi anche in quelle terre. Egli giunge dalla Tracia a Roma, viene ordinato sacerdote da Pietro, ed è proprio da Lui che viene mandato in Sicilia (terra pagana sotto il dominio Romano), col compito di evangelizzare quei luoghi e compiere esorcismi; sbarca a Capo Faro a Messina iniziando fin da subito il suo mandato, poi percorre la fascia orientale della Sicilia dirigendosi a sud verso l’Etna (ecco che Limina e Calatabiano, interessati dal suo passaggio, grazie alle sue capacità di guaritore ed esorcista, gli divengono devote); giunge così al paese di Agira (Enna), dove lì muore dopo quarant’anni di Apostolato nell’isola.
The orbiter Columbia, aboard its orbiter transporter system, rolls toward the opening in the Vehicle Assembly Building where it was mated with the external tank mating in preparation for mission STS-93. The primary mission objective was the deployment of the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, renamed the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Mission STS-93 was the first commanded by a woman, Colonel Eileen M. Collins. The mission launched on July 23, 1999.

Carried atop an orbiter transporter, the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis rolls out of Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) Bay 3, in background, enroute to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). This photo was taken from the roof of the VAB. The rollover of the orbiter was one of the prelaunch milestones for any shuttle flight. Atlantis was being readied for her next mission, STS-86, which was targeted for a September 1997 launch. STS-86 was the seventh of nine planned dockings of the Space Shuttle orbiter with the Russian Space Station Mir.

It’s almost like I was working back in my newspaper photographer days, photographing a rollover in the middle of the afternoon. Well, not exactly, as far as I can tell, it was a 2 vehicle crash with no transports, but I didn’t stop to find out. Like I said, former newspaper photographer, I was just stopped at the traffic signal. #rollover #crash #formernewspaperphotographer
With his interest level in being photographed on the wane, Barry slowly rolls away from the camera.

One of four rollovers. I had to go back to the car to get the 24-105. He actually came up to the fence and I was only five feet away. I shot him at 24 mm just to get him all in.
