The resorts we stayed in employed local people. These ladies weren't playing extreme jenga, but were carrying bricks to make some more lodges.
Took a pile of pictures at Brick Fiesta this year. Turnout was a bit disappointing compared to last year, but still had fun. I seemed to be damn near the only non-Texan at the con.
The castle selection was much smaller than last year, but the quality was very high. This was a nice presentation, but I think it would have helped to vary the hobbit hole style away from the set's style.

I'd found a complete example of this brick in Buck Wood, Thackley, a few months before: www.flickr.com/photos/sgwarnog/5874134393/in/photostream
This house, at 5611 Lexington Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, was the home of Luther Moses, a prominent Cleveland shipbuilder. It has the highest initial trim quality of any pre-Civil War house tht I've seen in Cleveland, east of the Cuyahoga. The residence, built c. 1854, is a Cleveland Landmark. It is described in detail on Cleveland Area History.

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.

This brick wall is of a closed fire station. This wall reminds me of several things... United we stand, Strong as brick, Old but still useful. I look at this photograph and I think of the years it housed diffrent men and equiptment, and how everyday they risked their lives to save our homes, our belongings, and our memories.
Building materials week. Brick is HEAVILY used in Bogota, so it's not hard to find some interesting arrangements of it.

This is the first village where we stopped for lunch. In all the villages we saw during our 4 days tour (just a few), all the houses were made of mud bricks.
Parked in a carpark waiting for my wife. Got bored, nothing else to do so I took a picture of a brick wall.
