Second, it is made into bricks using different shaped moulds and left to dry in the sun for days - these are for a circular well shaft
Jamie brought these home from a job site for me and I put them down...now I want more so I can do the whole garden :-)
Fountain Square is one of three art districts in Indianapolis. Lots to see, do, eat, and drink...and buy! I took this series of photos within a 20 minute time frame on a very hot day. I want to return when it's cooler.
Brick row houses in Oak Park, IL located next to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Frank. W. Thomas House (1901).
Bricks crossing on the outdoor BART station platform at MacArthur. The concrete was a spooky shade of green, way more ominous than in daylight; it's as if they were getting ready for St. Patrick's Day.

TWIN BRICKS
Twin-Bricks, consists of two wings - A five unit rental dwelling and the owner’s own two-family house. It is located in a quiet residential area, just 20 minutes by train from Tokyo. In order to secure some space for the owner’s car collection, the owner’s wing (RC Wing) stands closer to the road than the rental wing (S Wing). The rental wing is clad in both autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) panels as well as glass blocks.
S WING
The S Wing, based on the previously completed “Crystal Brick” House, introduces ALC panels as aseismatic elements in order to improve cost-effectiveness in the face of earthquake safety. The arrangement of glass block and ALC panel was derived from a series of experiments. The results showed that the ALC panel fail leaving the glass blocks intact, providing enhanced safety for the occupants. An intriguing spatial composition materializes due to the seemingly random composition of the glass block and ALC Panels which hide all structure.
RC WING
With the purpose of alleviating noise from the garage and providing a sense of privacy for the owners, Atelier Tekuto Co., Ltd. created the “RC structure + exterior thermal insulation” construction method. Costs were significantly reduced by introducing high-pressure wood wool cement boards and integrating the boards as form works. Original tiles were also developed after careful consideration.
The overall experience of Twin Bricks is heightened by the juxtaposition of the heavy RC wing and light S wing and between the transparency of glass versus the opacity of the ALC panels. Though these materials seem to be in antithesis, they exhibit a material harmony when partnered together.

The firebox has been burned out over the years. There is virtually no mortar left between the bricks.
An Abstract image of a brick wall taken on the Blackpool promenade, Lancashire, England.
The images in this series were inspired by Mishka Henner's 'No Man's Land', a series created using Google Maps randomly taken images on the roadside. This series is created in the same way by photographing from the window of my car while driving around my local area. However, I added my own personal touch by zooming in and positioning the camera to get abstract style images and this is the result. I believe this concept is what truly has made these images rather different if not unique. This series also shows how our streets that we walk along every day can be made into art if you just take the time to look at it in a different way. It showcases the natural beauty of our manmade structures and local wildlife amongst it that we often take for granted.
Please comment and critique because I would always love and appreciate feedback to improve my photography.
This brick is on an access cover surround on an estate which was built in the mid 1950s, dating this pattern of Whitehead brick to that period.
Whitehead Hill and Co took over from JC Hill and Co in 1925. The works, known as the Llandowlais Brick Works was located on Ty Coch Way, Two Locks, Cwmbran, east of the Dowlais Brook and south of the Monmouthshire-Brecon Canal. The works incorporated two eighteen chamber kilns, each chamber having a capacity of 19,000 bricks. In each kiln, approximately eight chambers per kiln were fired each week, giving an output of some 304,000 bricks per week. The last listing for the company is in the DOQ for 1973.
