This old brick wall runs the lenght of our garden and beyond. The colours are lovely if you catch them in the right light.
There are many elegant homes in the waterfront suburb of Devonport which date from the late 1800s. Most of them have million dollar views across the harbor to Auckland city. Some have original brick chimneys from the huge fireplaces which were essential in those early days for all forms of heating. This one stands out with its deep red brick work and embedded floral design contrasting with the slate colored roof and pale green facings of the house.
All the curves on the mannequin were done by creating slight gradients with the bricks, so that when viewed from afar it would mimic the organic curves that the human body has.
A woman making bricks in Southern India. If you ever start to get fed up with your job, you can count yourself lucky that you don't have to do this. Bending over, out in the hot sun all day long, whacking lumps of mud into rectangular shapes.
Hawksworth's church of St Mary & All Saints is distinguished by an attractive brick west tower, which is presumably post medieval, with a very unusual, largely geometric Norman tympanum built into the south face.
The body of church all mid 19th century rebuilding, small scale and fairly plain, though with some lively early Victorian grotesque faces.
I was unable to see inside, it is kept locked without keyholder notice.

Twin-Bricks, Saitama, 2008
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.

Wonderful brick building, formerly a bank and now a charming bookstore called The Left Bank. Searsport, Maine
I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!
I took these photos in East London in October 2016.
Thought to be the oldest brick home in Lauderdale County, Alabama (although, I'm not sure of that). Located near downtown Florence. Was also a house of prostitution at the turn of the century (that's last century). Has been abandoned for many years. Currently owned by a friend of mine who is going to be preserving it. His actions have kept it from being demolished. The previous picture in the photostream was taken within this home.
A news story on the home from 2004. This was prior to them knowing what would happen to the house:
