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.

Street scene in Budapest Hungary. The buildings throughout the city have a lot of charm and character.
I do enjoy strolling around Brick Lane particularly while wearing a comfortable skirt like this. Loads of nice pubs and restaurants in the area and plenty of vintage clothes shops to wander around in. You must join me one day.

These eroded bricks with embedded stones and pebbles are part of a wall in Pinkneys Lane, Southwold. They are not as high as modern bricks. I wonder if they are recycled Roman bricks. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

A rather crude brick feature at Easthampstead Shops. I suppose it was considered pretty cool at some point !
The uniformity and repetition of an apartment block in London, the design of which reminds me of stickle bricks that i used to play with as a kid.
I used to have an aversion to gray and brown. (I was also prejudiced against black and navy and black and brown.) Then, I noticed how well gray and brown went together in nature: feathers, fur, trees, rocks. No one would say those clash! Here’s another example of gray and brown pairing well together: bricks and mortar.

The now defunct Toronto Harbour Commission (THC) began construction of the peninsula in the late 1950s. Its originally foreseen purpose was to provide a breakwater for Toronto's Outer Harbour, which itself was expected to be necessary to handle the increase in shipping on the Great Lakes after the Saint Lawrence Seaway opened in 1959. However, owing to the containerization revolution of the 1960s, the need for an outer harbour never arose, and all cargo ships calling at Toronto still use the Inner Harbour, while the Outer Harbour sees only pleasure boat traffic.
The need for the headland, however, did not disappear. In the 1960s and 1970s, development in Toronto proceeded rapidly, and the Leslie Street Spit was a convenient place to dump the endless supply of rubble and earth generated by all the building projects in the city. (from wikipedia)
