Description
This is for my friend Larry (NetWorthy) who does wonderful work in Daz. Larry has a gift for creating images and magnificent stories to go with them. My favorite story Larry created is (Misty The Baby Dragon) In it he shows how he can touch your heart through his work. Most important for me is Larry has always been a real friend to my family and always checking on my sister. He shared with me this fantastic memory of when he was a boy living near Springfield Illinois. They lived near old abandoned mines and the rubble from them had built up over the years making huge hills seventy feet high. When it snowed the hills provided Larry and his friends a great place to go sledding, even if the hills were a bit rough because of all the rocks. This story is about one day when they had a fantastic new adventure and I hope you enjoy it.
Down Hill Racers: It was a really cold day and Larry and his brother Rick headed to the hills to meet their friends and go sledding. While the kids were playing they found a hood from a old car half buried in the snow. The kids dug it out and thought it would be great to use it as a sled. Larry and nearly 14 kids worked so hard to drag it up the hill. Once at the top all the kids climbed on board and a older boy gave them a shove to get them started. Down the bumpy hill they soared, going faster and faster. Soon Larry saw Mick fall off and then his friend Butch too. Evey time they hit a bump another kid would go flying off of their sled. By the time they got to the bottom only Larry, Mike, Emma, Glory and her puppy were left. They were still going fast as their sled plowed into a group of small trees finally ending their journey. Larry and his friends laughed so hard and they rode down the hill two more times that day. Hope it brought smiles.
Dave

Oh yes! I remember going downhill on our sled...what fun. Didn't like dragging the sled back uphill though, lol. Fine work constructing this wonderful tribute to a fine person.

It's been a while since your last post huh? I am glad to see you working on images again Dave. I've missed them. This is adorable and fun! What a great memory to bring to life. Your characters faces are so full of expressive emotion. You can feel the happiness they feel as they ride down the slope on that snow.

I grew up in California, so I didn't see a lot of snow, but it does snow there you just have to go to IT... and what wonderful memories this brings back, one silly or stupid one on my part. Is my dad pouring me some hot chocolate from a thermos, and me taking a quick big drink of it, to which it burnt my mouth and my dad asking why didn't I sip it, and I said I didn't think it would be hot. Not realizing at my young age then what a thermos did. Sweet work as always!!

Wow! I love the imaginative way kids can improvise ... I never tried sledding on a car hood, but so long as one doesn't snag body parts on sharp metal it should work. Excellent story Dave and wonderful render.

I like that you added the little girl building a snow man in the background. That was always such a common thing around these sorts of places along with the toboggans. In fact, part of the game was often to dodge the snowmen as our sleds came rocketing down the hill. Like Larry's hill, ours was the end result of human superstructure building, namely a sewer junction two stories high. Located at the south end of what was eventually a park, the concrete got covered over with earth excavated from the housing construction in our area. In the spring time it also acted as a dike against spring flooding caused by the swollen creek that wound its way through the park land. The little guy falling off the back end (Mick) is rather a lot like me on our toboggan hill where I grew up. Most of the time I'd be with my brother and sister. Our dog, Belle, would plow along beside us not willing to jump onboard the sled. Of coarse, it would be awfully crowded with a full grown Labrador retriever.
