Day 356 - Snow Cone

Eliot, ME view map

The title pretty much sums it up. I was out driving around doing some last minute shopping (with the camera gear in the back seat of course) when I came across a blustery scene that I felt required capturing. The blustery scene is actually the snow blowing off the building, but I realized after trying to capture said scene, that 1) It was pretty freakin cold out and B) I am not qualified to capture a blustery scene (OK, I am qualified, but it pretty much sucked). Off the ends of the buildings (mini warehouses) are these bollards to keep people from running into the buildings with their vehicles. Anyway, the snow coming off the roof of each building was piling up on top of the bollards and forming a cone shape. This is pretty cool. This, of course, leads me to believe that the ancient Egyptians are the original designers of rockets, at least the nose cones. I'm thinking that sand in the desert would behave much in the same way as the snow does here (I have been in the desert, but not on a horse, with or without a name). You'd have to believe that there were some random columns at the end of Egyptian buildings involved in sand storms...
