I went out later than I expected to tonight and happened across this door while I was driving around looking for an interesting space. I liked the simplicity of the image as well as the detail in the texture of the bricks.
This is a manual combination of four exposures, 60, 30, 15, 10 seconds @ f/11, ISO 100.
Pentland Brickworks was located in Straiton in Midlothian, Scotland on the site of oil shale workings, the by-product from which this brick is composed.
All of these bricks were found on the foreshore between Prestongrange and Cockenzie in East Lothian in an area known as the "pottery beach".
I found this facade fascinating, the brick panels resemble pilasters and not structure; with even the turned outlines on them exaggerating the effects. Most interesting perhaps is the separation of the brick 'pilasters' from the brick 'cap.'
Noticed this today outside one of my favorite coffee shops. Did someone create this on purpose, or is it just an accidental heart-shaped hole inside a random brick?
Rather battered and not of the best quality is this unusually side-stamped brick seen in a wall at the long disused Stonetrough Colliery site in North Staffordshire. I have no idea where in South Leicestershire his was made or why it should have travelled so far.
A closer view of College Ave. in Racine, WI where the old brick street has been preserved. There is a row of little skinny bricks down the middle of this shot. I can't help wondering if one guy worked from one end of the block and someone else worked from the other, and when they met there wasn't enough room for another regular row.
