It is actually, or used to be, a 'sjoelsteen' (or 'shuffle stone) to play the dutch game 'sjoelen' with.

The printing/mailing campus of my worthy employer, on Kansas City's West Side.
These historic roundhouses were constructed in 1914, the same year nearby Union Station opened, and served the station as a locomotive maintenance facility from 1914 till a surprisingly recent 1988.
Can you just imagine the giant turn-table in the center, pointing locomotives towards the bay doors of the service area they needed?
This company designed the office space in the roundhouses, and the giant printing facility (new) behind.

Introducing air-conditioning into the buildings proved a challenge, as it was important not to jeopardize the structures' status on the National Register of Historic Places.

Round Tower (6th C), Lusk, Co Dublin.
Of the early Christian Monastery, only the tower, which is 26 metres tall, remains.
Round towers are early medieval stone towers - it is thought they were principally bell towers, places of refuge, or a combination of these.
A 1986 Very Fine Centavo in my collection. Awfully boring coin, as I do say so myself. Not even the multiple sides are pleasing.
Almost immediately after the BNSF trains clear the area, I see headlights coming towards me again. This helped make up for the fact I was waiting around for nearly an hour and half in this area before anything showed up again. There was another overpass north of here I wanted to shot from, but with heat now in the high 90's and going on my 10th hour out here, I decided it was time to check out some areas north of Gillette before calling it a day.
I've photographed this rather large young male before back in March, so it was great to catch up with him again.
He's expanded his territory into another older leopard's range (we'll meet him later..) but in a head to head battle Tyson lost two out of three rounds and so isn't yet the area's dominant male.
He's a big fella though and rather intimidating up close, which we were lucky to do more than once. There are more of this guy on the way... This one I like... I was wishing that he'd take a step or two into the patch of sun in front of him as he was all in shadow - lucky for me he obliged!
There are between 12 and 18 leopards known to be in the Sabi Sands area and quite a few are regular visitors to the traversing area of our Lodge.
This trip we saw 7 different cats on more than one occaision, so get ready for an awful lot of Leopard pictures!!
They are amazing animals - of the two, if I had to choose between a Leopard sighting and a Lion - the Leopard wins every time!
