5/2024 - My second visit to the Mt. Washington Cog Railway was unfortunately a few days before steam began running for the season. Upon my arrival, the cog diesels were making moves at Marshfield Station.
Cog or Kogge
A cog is a type of ship that first appeared in the 10th century, and was widely used from around the 12th century on. Eventually, around the 14th century, the cog reached its structural limits. This model is a somewhat generic version of this ship. However, some features narrows it down to being from around 1300, +-50 years.
The ship type was a northern European brake from the sleek Viking ship. The need for spacious and relatively inexpensive ships led to the development of this trader workhorse. Fore and stern castles would be added for defense against pirates, or to enable use of these vessels as warships.
It is in minifig-scale or 1:40’ish.
The model will have the dimensions Length: 68 cm, Height: 75 cm (with stand), Width: 19 cm (Beam)
There is approx. 4300 bricks in the model.

Moving on now, back to the Pike's Peak Cog Railroad, I'm about to board a train for a ride to the top. The station and the trains have been rebuilt/added to. I had hopes of riding one of the new trains, but my time slot was on one of the rebuilt older trains.
I have been thinking about building the Cog train that goes up Mount Washington ever since I saw it climb the peak. This is the first step in developing the design.

Gear cogs rust away in the elevator room. Taken at Gilman, the former town of the workers at the Eagle Mine. The town is at an elevation of 9000’ with a population of 350. It was the largest underground mill in the US until in 1984 when it was abandoned by order of the EPA due to toxic pollutants. Graffiti artist often use Gilman as a canvas for their artworks. These photos are part of the Gilman project, a two day photographic shoot of the town and mine site.
One of the many cogs from a watchmakers cast offs. Stacked 50mm macro on 105mm Micro.
Strobist info: SB-28 on 1/64 power fitted with an omnibounce sitting about 2 inches in front of the cog (cog was on the table, camera pointing straight down, flash lying on the table pointing at the cog). Triggered with eBay remote.

The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy referring to the capricious nature of Fate. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna, who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel - some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls. Fortune appears on all paintings as a woman, sometimes blindfolded, "puppeteering" a wheel.Origins[edit]
The origin of the word is from the "wheel of fortune" - the zodiac, referring to the Celestial spheres of which the 8th holds the stars, and the 9th is where the signs of the zodiac are placed. The concept was first invented in Babylon and later developed by the ancient Greeks. The concept somewhat resembles the Bhavacakra, or Wheel of Becoming, depicted throughout Ancient Indian art and literature, except that the earliest conceptions in the Roman and Greek world involve not a two-dimensional wheel but a three-dimensional sphere, a metaphor for the world. It was widely used in the Ptolemaic perception of the universe as the zodiac being a wheel with its "signs" constantly turning throughout the year and having effect on the world's fate (or fortune). Ptolemaic model of the spheres for Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn with epicycle, eccentric deferent and equant point. Georg von Peuerbach, Theoricae novae planetarum, 1474.
Vettius Valens, a second century BC astronomer and astrologer, wrote. There are many wheels, most moving from west to east, but some move from east to west.
Seven wheels, each hold one heavenly object, the first holds the moon... Then the eighth wheel holds all the stars that we see... And the ninth wheel, the wheel of fortunes, moves from east to west, and includes each of the twelve signs of fortune, the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each wheel is inside the other, like an onion's peel sits inside another peel, and there is no empty space between them.[this quote needs a citation] In the same century, the Roman tragedian Pacuvius wrote: Fortunam insanam esse et caecam et brutam perhibent philosophical, Saxoque instare in globoso praedicant volubili: Id quo saxum inpulerit fors, eo cadere Fortunam autumant. Caecam ob eam rem esse iterant, quia nihil cernat, quo sese adplicet; Insanam autem esse aiunt, quia atrox, incerta instabilisque sit; Brutam, quia dignum atque indignum nequeat internoscere. Philosophers say that Fortune is insane and blind and stupid, and they teach that she stands on a rolling, spherical rock: they affirm that, wherever chance pushes that rock, Fortuna falls in that direction. They repeat that she is blind for this reason: that she does not see where she's heading; they say she's insane, because she is cruel, flaky and unstable; stupid, because she can't distinguish between the worthy and the unworthy.
—Pacuvius, Scaenicae Romanorum Poesis Fragmenta. Vol. 1, ed. O. Ribbeck, 1897
The idea of the rolling ball of fortune became a literary topos and was used frequently in declamation. In fact, the Rota Fortunae became a prime example of a trite topos or meme for Tacitus, who mentions its rhetorical overuse in the Dialogus de oratoribus. Fortuna eventually became Christianized: the Roman philosopher Boethius (d. 524) was a major source for the medieval view of the Wheel, writing about it in his Consolatio Philosophiae - "I know how Fortune is ever most friendly and alluring to those whom she strives to deceive, until she overwhelms them with grief beyond bearing, by deserting them when least expected. … Are you trying to stay the force of her turning wheel? Ah! dull-witted mortal, if Fortune begin to stay still, she is no longer Fortune."
The Wheel was widely used as an allegory in medieval literature and art to aid religious instruction. Though classically Fortune's Wheel could be favourable and disadvantageous, medieval writers preferred to concentrate on the tragic aspect, dwelling on downfall of the mighty - serving to remind people of the temporality of earthly things. In the morality play Everyman (c. 1495), for instance, Death comes unexpectedly to claim the protagonist. Fortune's Wheel has spun Everyman low, and Good Deeds, which he previously neglected, are needed to secure his passage to heaven. Geoffrey Chaucer used the concept of the tragic Wheel of Fortune a great deal. It forms the basis for the Monk's Tale, which recounts stories of the great brought low throughout history, including Lucifer, Adam, Samson, Hercules, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Nero, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and, in the following passage, Peter I of Cyprus. O noble Peter, Cyprus' lord and king,
Which Alexander won by mastery, To many a heathen ruin did'st thou bring; For this thy lords had so much jealousy,
That, for no crime save thy high chivalry, All in thy bed they slew thee on a morrow. And thus does Fortune's wheel turn treacherously And out of happiness bring men to sorrow.
~ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales, The Monk's Fortune's Wheel often turns up in medieval art, from manuscripts to the great Rose windows in many medieval cathedrals, which are based on the Wheel. Characteristically, it has four shelves, or stages of life, with four human figures, usually labeled on the left regnabo (I shall reign), on the top regno (I reign) and is usually crowned, descending on the right regnavi (I have reigned) and the lowly figure on the bottom is marked sum sine regno (I am without a kingdom). Dante employed the Wheel in the Inferno and a "Wheel of Fortune" trump-card appeared in the Tarot deck (circa 1440, Italy). The wheel of fortune from the Burana Codex; The figures are labelled "Regno, Regnavi, Sum sine regno, Regnabo": I reign, I reigned, My reign is finished, I shall reign
In the medieval and renaissance period, a popular genre of writing was "Mirrors for Princes", which set out advice for the ruling classes on how to wield power (the most famous being The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli). Such political treatises could use the concept of the Wheel of Fortune as an instructive guide to their readers. John Lydgate's Fall of Princes, written for his patron Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester is a noteworthy example. Many Arthurian romances of the era also use the concept of the Wheel in this manner, often placing the Nine Worthies on it at various points....fortune is so variant, and the wheel so moveable, there nis none constant abiding, and that may be proved by many old chronicles, of noble Hector, and Troilus, and Alisander, the mighty conqueror, and many mo other; when they were most in their royalty, they alighted lowest. ~ Lancelot in Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, Chapter XVII.[3] Like the Mirrors for Princes, this could be used to convey advice to readers. For instance, in most romances, Arthur's greatest military achievement - the conquest of the Roman Empire - is placed late on in the overall story. However in Malory's work the Roman conquest and high point of King Arthur's reign is established very early on. Thus, everything that follows is something of a decline. Arthur, Lancelot and the other Knights of the Round Table are meant to be the paragons of chivalry, yet in Malory's telling of the story they are doomed to failure. In medieval thinking, only God was perfect, and even a great figure like King Arthur had to be brought low. For the noble reader of the tale in the Middle Ages, this moral could serve as a warning, but also as something to aspire to. Malory could be using the concept of Fortune's Wheel to imply that if even the greatest of chivalric knights made mistakes, then a normal fifteenth-century noble didn't have to be a paragon of virtue in order to be a good knight. The Wheel of Fortune motif appears significantly in the Carmina Burana (or Burana Codex), albeit with a postclassical phonetic spelling of the genitive form Fortunae. Excerpts from two of the collection's better known poems, "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (Fortune, Empress of the World)" and "Fortune Plango Vulnera (I Bemoan the Wounds of Fortune)," read: Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus,
vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris. Fortune rota volvitur; descendo minoratus; alter in altum tollitur; nimis exaltatus rex sedet in vertice caveat ruinam! nam sub axe legimus Hecubam reginam.Fate - monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, status is bad,
well-being is vain always may melt away, shadowy
and veiled you plague me too; now through the game
bare backed I bear your villainy. The wheel of Fortune turns;
I go down, demeaned; another is carried to the height;
far too high up sits the king at the summit - let him beware ruin! for under the axis we read: Queen Hecuba. Later usage:
Fortune and her Wheel have remained an enduring image throughout history. Fortune's wheel can also be found in Thomas More's Utopia. Wheel of fortune in Sebastian Brant`s Narrenschiff, woodcut by A. Dürer William Shakespeare in Hamlet wrote of the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" and, of fortune personified, to "break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel." And in Henry V, Act 3 Scene VI[4] are the lines: Bardolph, a soldier who is loyal and stout-hearted and full of valour, has, by a cruel trick of fate and a turn of silly Fortune's wildly spinning wheel, that blind goddess who stands upon an ever-rolling stone—
Fluellen: Now, now, Ensign Pistol. Fortune is depicted as blind, with a scarf over her eyes, to signify that she is blind. And she is depicted with a wheel to signify—this is the point—that she is turning and inconstant, and all about change and variation. And her foot, see, is planted on a spherical stone that rolls and rolls and rolls. Shakespeare also references this Wheel in King Lear.[5] The Earl of Kent, who was once held dear by the King, has been banished, only to return in disguise. This disguised character is placed in the stocks for an overnight and laments this turn of events at the end of Act II, Scene 2:Fortune, good night, smile once more; turn thy wheel! In Act IV, scene vii, King Lear also contrasts his misery on the "wheel of fire" to Cordelia's "soul in bliss". Shakespeare also made reference to this in "Macbeth" throughout the whole play. Macbeth starts off halfway up the wheel when a Thane, but moves higher and higher until he becomes king, but falls right down again towards the end as his wife dies, and he in turn dies.
In Anthony Trollope's novel The Way We Live Now, the character Lady Carbury writes a novel entitled "The Wheel of Fortune" about a heroine who suffers great financial hardships.
Selections from the Carmina Burana, including the two poems quoted above, were set to new music by twentieth-century classical composer Carl Orff, whose well-known "O Fortuna" is based on the poem Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi.
Jerry Garcia recorded a song entitled "The Wheel" (co-written with Robert Hunter and Bill Kreutzmann) for his 1972 solo album Garcia, and performed the song regularly with the Grateful Dead from 1976 onward. The song "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey from their 1978 release Infinity also touches on the concept through the lyrics "Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' / I don't know where I'll be tomorrow". The song "Throw Your Hatred Down" by Neil Young on his 1995 album Mirror Ball, recorded with Pearl Jam, has the verse "The wheel of fortune / Keeps on rollin' down". The term has found its way into modern popular culture through the Wheel of Fortune game show, where contestants win or lose money determined by the random spin of a wheel. Also, the video game series character Kain (Legacy of Kain) used the wheel of fate. Fortuna does occasionally turn up in modern literature, although these days she has become more or less synonymous with Lady Luck. Her Wheel is less widely used as a symbol, and has been replaced largely by a reputation for fickleness. She is often associated with gamblers, and dice could also be said to have replaced the Wheel as the primary metaphor for uncertain fortune. The Hudsucker Proxy, a film by the Coen Brothers, also uses the Rota Fortunae concept and in the TV series Firefly (2002) the main character, Malcolm Reynolds, says "The Wheel never stops turning, Badger" to which Badger replies "That only matters to the people on the rim". Likewise, a physical version of the Wheel of Fortune is used in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, a film by George Miller and George Ogilvie. In the movie, the title character reneges on a contract and is told "bust a deal, face the wheel." In the science fiction TV series Farscape, the fourth episode of the fourth season has main character Crichton mention that his grandmother told him that fate was like a wheel, alternately bringing fortunes up and down, and the episode's title also references this. Unlike many other instances of the wheel of fortune analogy, which focus on tragic falls from good fortune, Crichton's version is notably more positive, and meant as a message of endurance: those suffering from bad fortune must remain strong and "wait for the wheel" of fortune to turn back to eventually turn back to good fortune again. Ignatius J. Reilly, the central character from John Kennedy Toole's novel A Confederacy of Dunces, states that he believes the Rota Fortunae to be the source of all man's fate. In the Fable video game series, the wheel of fortune appears twice, somehow perverted. The Wheel of Unholy Misfortune is a torture device in Fable II. It is found in the Temple of Shadows in Rookridge. The Hero can use the wheel to sacrifice followers to the shadows. In Fable III, Reaver's Wheel of Misfortune is a device that, once activated, sends to The Hero a round of random monsters. The Wheel of Fortune is featured in a Magic: the Gathering card by that name that forces all players to discard their hands and draw new ones.

Wheel of Fortune is R.O.T.A or TARO and TORA all 3 are born in same meaning :the workings of a social engine ROTARY'S WHEEL EMBLEM
A wheel has been the symbol of Rotary since our earliest days. The first design was made by Chicago Rotarian Montague Bear, an engraver who drew a simple wagon wheel, with a few lines to show dust and motion. The wheel was said to illustrate "Civilization and Movement." Most of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their publications and letterheads. Finally, in 1922, it was decided that all Rotary clubs should adopt a single design as the exclusive emblem of Rotarians. Thus, in 1923, the present gear wheel, with 24 cogs and six spokes was adopted by the "Rotary International Association." A group of engineers advised that the geared wheel was mechanically unsound and would not work without a "keyway" in the center of the gear to attach it to a power shaft. So, in 1923 the keyway was added and the design which we now know was formally adopted as the official Rotary International emblem. www.icufr.org/abc/abc01.htm

The most popular symbol is the All seeing eye, and most popular hand signs are the Horn and the 666. Any study of Music and ... Circle (Rotary symbol)
[These are the symbols used by the Reptilian proxy group, the Reptoids (Illuminati, & Freemasons), collectively are known as Satanists or Luciferians. The signs of Evil. The most popular symbol is the All seeing eye, and most popular hand signs are the Horn and the 666. Any study of Music and Movies will find all the usual suspects (proving Satanic control), along with some symbols for mind control. If you want a symbol to use stick with the heart, the exact opposite of Evil. They like to cut them out and offer them to Lucifer, see Blood sacrifice. All the worshiped 'Gods' are a few Anunnaki/Reptilians going under various names down the years such as: Nimrod/Anubis/Horus/Osiris/Baal/Shamash/Janus/Quetzalcoatl/Baphomet/Lucifer/Moloch etc, hence all the snake and horn symbols. The symbols are their secret language, and you can see the connections down the years by the use of the same symbols, e.g. Freemasonry, the US Government, and Communism with the Hidden hand, the hidden hand of history.]
Over the next few weeks I will be posting a new set of Gears of War customs that I've been working on. I've been a big fan of the games since GOW was first released and still play horde in GOW2 a couple times a week. Of course, Hazel's awesome custom armor and weapons really make it possible to do these sort of builds.
I've been slowly collecting a few of Hazel's GOW pieces for awhile now, so I figured it was time for me to get the paint out and incorporate my own ideas to kind of personalize the look of the items and create some unique characters. I know a lot of others have already done Gears customs over the past couple years - for me, better late than never I guess!
Let me know what you think as the series progresses.
Cog Railway
Here's one from the somewhat recent archives, a shot of the Cog Railway climbing Mt. Washington, with the Lakes of the Clouds hut visible just below the cone of Mt. Monroe on the left side of the image. I took this photo on my descent from the Great Gulf headwall, which is just below the summit of Mt. Washington. This was the morning after I hiked up to the headwall in the middle of the night for some star trails and sunrise photography with Luke Barton in late September.
5/2024 - After returning to the base station I smelled coal smoke. Cog Railway #9 was being tested before the start of the regular season. #9 is a 1908 ALCO Manchester product.
The Mt. Washington Cog Railway uses cog wheel locomotives to push a single car train to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. In 1985 when this photo was taken, the Cog was 100% steam powered. Now it uses biodiesel engines on most trains. It is now independent but was once part of the Boston and Maine System.

The ship sails through rough North Atlantic waters along the Norwegian mountains.
After the end of the Viking Age and the transition into the early Middle Ages, ship technology in the North and Baltic Sea regions began to undergo significant development, closely associated with changing trade patterns, economic interests, and a growing network of maritime routes. Whereas Viking longships were primarily optimised for swift raids, coastal navigation, and agile manoeuvring, the following centuries brought forth the need for larger, more robust, and more capacious vessels, better able to withstand the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic and to transport goods over greater distances.
Especially from the Danish waters and the Hanseatic towns along the southern coast of the Baltic Sea—cities such as Lübeck, Rostock, and Wismar—trade routes were gradually established stretching northwards along the Norwegian coasts, onward to the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and in some cases even as far as Greenland. These journeys required ships capable of carrying large volumes of cargo, maintaining stability on open seas, and fitted with rigging that could exploit shifting winds. The result was a range of ship types, such as the knarr and the cog, developed and refined to meet these new demands.
With these more voluminous vessels, merchants, fishermen, and whalers could transport stockfish, hides, whale oil, and other valuable goods between the North Atlantic islands and continental Europe. Bergen in Norway became a crucial hub, where the German Hanseatic League, among others, established permanent trading offices (the Bryggen). From there, goods were redistributed to various European markets. At the same time, stations for seal hunting, whaling, and fishing were set up at strategic coastal locations, linking production areas with regional trading centres.
This evolution in ship technology and maritime infrastructure laid the foundation for a more integrated economy, where the sea was no longer merely a barrier but a vital artery connecting distant regions. It not only brought greater prosperity to the area, but also shaped a North Atlantic culture and commerce that would come to characterise the maritime world of the Middle Ages.
"Whispers of the North Sea Trade"
Beneath iron clouds and heaving tides,
Hulls strain in the grasp of chill winds,
Where once longships sliced the foam and fled,
Now broader decks bear the world’s finds.
Knarr and cog, stout of beam and keel,
Crafted in quiet, shaped by need,
Their sails yearn for far, wind-haunted isles,
Carrying more than gold or seed.
From Danish shores to Bergen’s quay,
These traders stitch distant coasts,
Binds of stockfish, hides, and oil,
Woven on oak where silence boasts.
No longer mere borders of surging brine,
The seas bend to commerce and skill,
Bridging green fjords and grey horizons,
Until distant ports stand still.
In rigging’s song and lantern’s glow,
A maritime age takes form,
Whales yield their oil, winds chart the course,
As nations meet beyond the storm.
Three Haikus:
Stout knarr on dark waves,
Whispered routes beneath grey skies,
Seas carry rich trade.
Cogs drift by damp quays,
Hanseatic tongues echo,
Goods flow like water.
Whale oil lamps glimmer,
In Bergen’s hushed evening gloom,
Masts fade into mist.
mi madre decía que navidad debería ser sentida todo el año:
era efangélica; evangélica
nunca dijo tengo un renegrón, decía neregrón
la corregía:
no lo hagas; yo aprehendí la bella escuela hispánica por mi cuenta
no sabía si hay vida después de la muerte
antes de un nacimiento
si tu padre estuviera aquí; después de su muerte
no está en una iglesia; pues está aquí, en este jardín; en el de ellos que todavía existe
ya nunca más nadie pronunciará la bella palabra Beethoven como ella lo sabía
el invierno es una estación de Música clásica; sobremanera cantos gregorianos, Bach, oratorios de Navidad
Pergolesi
compré un pino sintético de navidad para mi casa porque no quise cortar un árbol
a veces iba con mi madre a un chino en Salinas en el que ella se sentía muy a gusto con la dueña; con el dueño marido de la dueña no porque era muy mal encarado; de tal forma que una vez ella dejó de trabajar allí se fué a Galicia y cuando mi madre entró en el chino le preguntó
pero dónde está su mujer; no la habrá matado ...
me reí mucho cuando me lo contó; con mi madre te reías mucho
y por el tono
mamaaaa, cómo dices eso
porque me dá la gana
y volviendo a ser espiritual es verdad
el sentimiento de la bella navidad debería prolongarse toda la vida en la elipse de los años
que sobre todo haya paz en el ánimo; es después de la salud lo más importante; van cogidas de la mano
el amor ya estaba ántes
la amistad
A special type of COGs. Normally during battle they stand on the front lines and use their shields to protect those behind them, even their heads are armored. The only weak spot while they are defending is their eyes. Their shoulder armor also doubles as mid-range flamethrowers, thus these COGs are useful to prevent riots from workers. Although they are also good on the offensive.
