Brick Lane, London. This is the heart of the city's Bengali community. If you're into hot Indian food, this is the place for you.

A roving bridge on the Peak Forest Canal at Marple. As you can see, its name is quite apt.

Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Insanity is the only word I can use to describe the sunrise this morning!
Insanity and Insanely beautiful!!
I drove a two hour round trip to get this shot, getting out of bed at 4:30am, and it was absolutley worth the effort.
People were stopping their cars on the road behind me and taking phone shots, whilst I stood there with all my gear, shooting away, and having the whole jetty to myself.
Unreal way to start a Wednesday morning.
Hope you like "Yellow Brick Road"
Cheers, Mike
It's been quite a while since I built my first bonsai, so it was time for another try. Though, this build is more the result of testing out two different techniques, rather than an attempt at creating a complete piece.
The first technique is the brick pattern of the pot, which is something I've been fiddling with for a while. I wanted to use 1x3 tiles rather than 1x2, which seems to be the norm, to represent the bricks as it fits better with real measurements. Of course, 1x2 tiles have the huge advantage in that it can slide on a single stud to any position, while the 1x3 tile has only 3 positions (5 if you use hollow studs). I wanted to make a technique using 1x3 tiles, with a halfplate offset between bricks in all directions, which made for quite a challenge. The result fits the bill, but is a bit on the inflexible side, and quite messy in the back.
The second technique is the tree trunk. I've seen similar things done here and there and I wanted to try it for myself. Basically it's a tree built by technic connectors with a bunch of debris tied to it with lego strings. It's quite tedious and you can't really follow a formula, but after a while it becomes a bit clearer which pieces fits where.
Photography is pretty poor and I would have liked to take some more photos and find a better angle, but unfortunately the build got pretty beat up by my very own inhouse demolition squad ;)
A brick wall during the morning is illuminated by sunlight. Photo taken at Innovation Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
As I was walking around campus on a super bright autumn day I spotted these interesting fence and tree shadows cast upon our standard patterned brick sidewalk.
Fence Friday is pretty tricky for me. Most of our fences are just chain link draped between the metal posts.
We also have lots of construction fences, but they are usually large, covered with some kind of banner or work cloth and concealing the interesting things behind them.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
'What's that up there!'

"The Three Little Pigs" is a fable about three pigs who build three houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs' houses, made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig's house, made of bricks.
Probably one of my favourite street art pieces.

Just over a year ago, a fire broke out on Columbia Street and destroyed half a block of historic buildings.
Brick factory workers (Madagascar).
HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos is available here: robertopazziphoto.com/#book
In Madagascar, as in many other countries, brick production remains a predominantly manual craft.
Clay is dug from the ground by hand, pressed into simple molds, dried slowly under the sun, and finally hardened in basic kilns fueled mainly by rice husk.
At every stage, workers carry heavy loads, often balancing bricks on their heads while enduring intense heat and swirling dust.
Earnings are generally meager and calculated per brick, a system that compels entire families to participate in the work. Children and adolescents are frequently present, sometimes entrusted with physically demanding or hazardous tasks close to the kilns.
Overall, the labor environment is severe, marked by long hours, a complete lack of protective equipment, and the absence of effective regulatory oversight.
