Unlike the large stars in the previous image, these stars are serving the function of adding structural strength to a row house. I thought it was of interest that this row house was located on William Street. I wouldn't mind living on a street named after me. ;-)
Brick Lane is a long street in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. The street runs from Bethnal Green in the north, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city's Sylheti Bangladeshi community.

My house is pretty cool. Its made out of these old adobe like bricks. Pioneer in nature, very few of this type of brick houses survive. I have only seen one other in the city of Provo, Utah. And considering that each one of the bricks is different in style makes my house have a thousand different stories.
Where my house sat was where the Horse stables were kept when Nephi was only a Fort. Found a horseshoe out back from 1895. Then once the house was built and the fort walls were down, the building was built to be a doctors office. Dr. T.W. Allred was the doctor and we joke the his operation table was where we eat dinner.
After that, the wife of the Doctor had the house and went blind after his death. We bought it off her in the '70's with all the downstairs windows sealed due to her fears of burglars. A 711 was next door for the longest time and our lawn became a place of travelers relaxing.
By the time I came around, the freeway was in place (the main street used to be the main highway), and the 711 was long gone. Things had calmed down and the house was paid off.
Old House, many stories.
Music.

Taken in Pretoria, South Africa. I was staying at a missionary's house in Pretoria and this brick was in his backyard.

Vasagatan (Swedish for "The Vasa Street", named after King Vasa, "father of the nation" according to traditional Swedish history) is a common name for major streets in Swedish cities.
We particulary liked the detail in the brickwork here and the tones of red.

Padaria 14 de Julho, desde 1897 - Uma das mais antigas padarias do Bixiga - One of the oldest bakeries in Bixiga, the Italian neighbourhood in São Paulo
This took about four days of incredible work - here is the final path before the joiner sand was added and the plantings/edging completed
I call it "Krissi's Up the Garden Path workout"
- pickax swings (20 lb ax) 100 reps
take as long as you need to complete all 100 reps - don't cut off your toes
- deadlift warmups, 10 reps
using a pair of vice grips, pull 3" rusted garden 'staples' out of clay
- shoveling wet earth/clay, 100 reps
- sandbag deadlift and toss (50 lb bags) 11 reps
- grip strength/wheelbarrow combo:
- load brick pavers 4 at a time into wheelbarrow
- carry wheelbarrow 20 yards (though obstacle course - don't run over the tortoise) and unload bricks
(this combo can be done with heavy weight and light reps or light weight and more reps. Must move 50 SF of bricks.)
