film from 2021, but conditions today feel similar to support this phenomenon: snow being blown off the cliffs above, then rolling once they land to form sizable snowballs (with telltale tracks behind them) all over the ground -- the snow has to be just the right consistency, and the temp just below freezing, and some breeze but not too much. I will keep my eyes open today!
edit: I forgot that the forecast is for building wind all afternoon, so quickly has gotten too strong -- the snowballs blow apart rather than stick together & accumulate.
Dice are implements used for generating random numbers in a variety of social and gambling games. Known since antiquity, dice have been called the oldest gaming instruments. They are typically cube-shaped and marked with one to six dots on each face. The most common method of dice manufacture involves injection molding of plastic followed by painting.
Dice have been used for gaming and divination purposes for thousands of years. Evidence found in Egyptian tombs has suggested that this civilization used them as early as 2000 b.c. Other data shows that primitive civilizations throughout the Americas also used dice. These dice were composed of ankle bones from various animals. Marked on four faces, they were likely used as magical devices that could predict the future. The ancient Greeks and Romans used dice made of bone and ivory. The dice of most of these early cultures were made in numerous shapes and sizes.
The modern day cubical dice originated in China and have been dated back as early as 600 b.c. They were most likely introduced to Europe by Marco Polo during the fourteenth century.

The wind just keeps blowing and bringing these beautiful rolling waves to the area!

There I was photographing this wall by The Rolling People when this lady with her canvas rolled along...So two pieces of art for the price of one!
Providence and Worcester Railroad's crew WX-1 out of Worcester is in command of four units leading a 78 car unit ethanol train that arrived in Worcester as a B935 from CSXT and is destined for the Shell tank farm at the Port of Providence. They are rolling west on Main 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line passing under the old Olneyville Expressway at about MP 183.9 paralleling Harris Ave. on the gritty west side of the Ocean State's capital city.
Leading the train is B39-8E 3905 (blt. Nov. 1987 as LMX 8533) looking good in old school PW red and brown with PW 4001, 2010, and 3906 assisting to move the heavy southbound.

I felt like I needed some more rolling stock to start off the new year.

Man I'm so glad I borrowed my sister's G12 for BrickCon, it takes fantastic pictures!
Anyways, as I was unpacking my MOCs from Brick Con I'd figure I'd take some new pics of them with this fantastic camera so to start it all off here's my Rolling Thunder, inspired by the Armored Core V Trailer.
It doesn't have much in the way of functions, the tracks have some limited suspension, the torso twists and the Shoulder mounted Missile Pods have opening flaps.....and thats about it! xD
The design for the track setup goes to GreenLead, but everything else I managed to slap together some how.
I'm considering breaking this down, I like it, but I don't really have anything to do with it right now....
This southbound CN freight has just surmounted Byron hill and is rolling by bare trees and a recently plowed field in this November scene in Wisconsin. 11/12/16
Looking across the Hewenden Valley and rolling Yorkshire hills in the distance as the autumn sun lights up Hewenden Viaduct on my commute this morning.
After spending the night in a cottage along the highway to Goris, I hitchhiked my way to Yeghednadzor and took a marshrutka to the road to Halidzor, where the Wings of Tatev would carry me to the famous Tatev Monastery.
Small scenic railway, ran mostly by amateurs, volunteers and enthusiasts. Some of the old rolling stock and trucks sit quietly, rusting away in the yard.

The start of Rolling Thunder 2014 this morning at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Lots of flags and noise - a true experience.

Here’s another image from up at the Shard.
Watching the trains wind their way around the curved railway tracks was certainly one of the highlights from being up here. I’m not sure I would ever be the kind of person who would build a model railway, but I can certainly see the appeal of standing over a creation of interweaving paths as these metallic horses glide from place to place.
Ah, who am I kidding? I’m exactly the kind of person that would build a model railway. Only I’m also the type of obsessive that would let the rails run loose all over the house in a style most befitting a Rube Goldberg contraption.
Oh yes, just realised it’s Valentine’s day also. This one goes out to all the women reading this who love trains. As Ralph Wiggum once eloquently put…I Choo Choo Choose you!
