Photo by Xi (Cecilia) Zhang. The local restaurant locates in the Bardstown St. The porch tiled stained brick and iron-cast ornament extended the space of the entrance. It reminds me the Red School which intended to give us a historic feeling of tradition..
the heat over the years has given the inside bricks the texture of a crunchie bar. if you lick it though it tastes of cobwebs and grit.
Close to the nature reserve and either on the edge of, or within, the green belt depending on who you ask, this entire new suburb is being built. It's odd to see it happening, though it has of course happened many times in the UK (Skem, Kirkby, Croxteth, etc). This is on a smaller scale, being a suburb rather than a town.
The tenements that they're building reminded me a lot of Edinburgh's New Town area. What impressed me was that despite the fact that they're being erected at the same time, by the same contractors, and undoubtedly to the same design, they've taken the time to specify different bricks on each of the buildings, giving it a bit more of an organic feel.
Not a difficult thing to do, but most UK developers wouldn't bother.
Bricking Bavaria 2015 in Munich. All shown builds belong to their individual builders/owners. I was only visiting the show.
I can't recally the significance at the moment. I'm pretty sure it was significant, though. Schoolhouse, perhaps? It was on the historic National Road, in eastern Ohio.
Though it's only an hour or so north of us, depending on traffic, we've only ever gone to Illinois Beach State Park one other time in the 13 years we've lived in Chicagoland, when we spent a couple of hours on a weekend afternoon in 2011 walking a little trail. There was a lot more beach at Illinois Beach back then. As I've mentioned a few times, Lake Michigan has risen about four feet since then and is now very near its all-time recorded high (at least since about 1850). Almost all the Lake Michigan beaches are now underwater, and the waves run right up to the lakeside forests.
This particular beach at the North Unit of Illinois Beach State Park has a few feet of sand, but its mostly covered over with cobbles about the size of a person's fist. For some reason, there are a bunch of bricks scattered among the rocks. I don't know where those come from. There's a small pile of bricks in the trees off to the left that made me wonder if there'd been a structure here of some sort at one time.
