The Half Brick

P1250946 - A clay brick from the materials it is created is already old. The weathering moss shows that it has been left for a period of time. In addition the marble is also old, but the processing of course renders it as new.

The slight focus issue, is because my eyes are old!

 

Daily Shoot

Make a photograph of something old. Be sure to show us the character that age can give a subject.

 

History

The half brick was original cleared from garden some years ago from the original site of a air raid shelter built with house in 1933/1934. I can only assume it was part of this shelter. The brick was probably made at the Gunville or Rookley brick works based on the Island
