The texture and color of brick has always been a favorite of mine. Punched up the color for this shot.
Quarai Ruins, New Mexico.
The Quarai were a Tiguex (Southern Tiwa) Pueblo band of American Indians that originated in present-day New Mexico. Because of Apache hostilities they fled to El Paso in around 1675; later they moved to Isleta del Sur on the Rio Grande.
Quarai, also known as Quarai State Monument, is also the name of a historic site that was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. It includes 13 structures including a pueblo and a mission which is known as Nuestra Señora de La Purisima Concepcion de Cuarac. It stands 40 ft tall and once had walls that were approximately 3 to 6 ft wide. It is included in Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.
This is a closed up nursing home - been empty many years. Well worth shinning over the wall for (and the bruises to prove it!). fisheye adaptor lens.
This picture was taken outside looking in through the window. I thought the layout here was kind of strange in that most buildings I've encountered don't have water towers inside. Most buildings also have roofs, but I guess they just do things differently in Los Angeles.
Looking down at Dock St., a brick street, in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. It was built with bricks from all the brick makers (8 or 9 of them) that were in operation in the Wilmington area at the time it was built during the 19th century. Each company's name appears on many of the bricks that they made and were used to construct Dock St. Bricks of different colors and textures came from the different manufacturers.
