I took a nice normal picture of a nice normal building, and changed it 5 times until it wasn't nice and normal anymore. If you think this is manipulated take a look at the companion image "Building At You for the 30th Time" which has 25 more manipulations. When will I ever learn?

[This set has 7 images] Built 1921-1922 in Spanish Mission style, St. Agnes Catholic Church in Mena, Arkansas, uses fieldstone as its primary building material, the entire structure on a continuous cast concrete foundation. The locally obtained stone enhances the architectural style well. All the roofs are clad with green ceramic tile, from the gable roof on the front (eastern) facade to the hipped roof surfaces over the asymmetrical towers flanking the front entrance. My bad knee prevented taking photographs of the 3-sided apse on the western facade and other facades. The church is a single story. In the central gable above the entrance is a monumental symmetrically placed Gothic window of leaded glass and a trim of bricks as its surround. Stone simulates quoins on either side of this window. Below is a large entrance that mimics the shape of the window above. There is a double-leaf door with large single-pane sidelights. Just above the door is a rectangular stained glass pane and above this a single pane of an exaggerated triangle. Brick surrounds the door frame on 3 sides. The shorter tower at the entrance has a low hipped roof and two lancet windows, a short one at the lowest part and a taller one above (again with the brick at the outer edges). There are corner buttresses to this tower. The taller tower has the two lancet windows plus an open belfry in addition to the corner buttresses. On each tower is a cross. The National Register of Historic Places nomination form (link below) provides more information on the other facades and details of the interior, which I was unable to photograph. The dimensions of the church and 85x50 feet, the walls being 1 1/2 feet thick. The final cost in the early 1920s was about $25,000. St. Agnes was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 5, 1991 with ID#91000696.

A new gallery is starting to take shape in Sydney’s inner suburb chippendale where the brick facade is now fully visible. 1000’s of these small grey toned bricks create curves and waves that rise above you, it’s really stunning! The interior space is comprised of 3 sections; the gallery, a performance space and a central garden to link them all together.
The idea was initiated by a private patron whereby each element is authored by a different hand.
The Gallery architects are: @johnwardlearchitects
The performance space architects: @durbachblockjaggers
Engineering: @ttwengineers
Garden spaces: @360degreeslandscape
I can’t wait to explore the various ways the spaces crossover and interact with my camera 📷 .

An advert from the 1934 edition of "Specification", issued annually by the Architectural Press and containing an index of building and construction subjects, relevant specifications along with allied contractors and materials. This is for Vinculum cast stone, a produce made by a subsidiary of the large Tarmac Ltd whose head offices were based at Ettingshall in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire.
Tarmac Ltd had been founded in 1905 by the Wolverhampton worthy Sir Alfred Hickman whose iron works at Ettingshall produced the waste material slag that formed the basis of 'tarmac' along with tar. The product had been the brain child of one Edgar Hooley who had in 1902/3 first patented the mix and formed the first works at Denby. These had foundered and Hickman bought the concern out. Tarmac prospered as the need for durable roads and surfaces became vital as road traffic increased and by the 1930s they had several works close to iron works so as to be able to utilise the waste materials.
Vinculum was another product born out of such waste - in this case, slag dust bound with Portland cement and cast into reinforced forms. The material was not only used to help Tarmac expand into the growing council house construction market but was also, as here, sold as an ideal material for the 'decoration' of suitably imporessive civic and commercial building facades. So here we have six views of municipal swimming baths and pools - one of which certainly bears a local Wolverhampton coat of arms so I think that nails a possible location for that one! The others - well..
The design of the advert is quite charming if 'staid' in graphic design terms but the use of the fish motif along with bubbling water certainly adds to the theme!

Zespół regeneracyjnych pieców wapiennych.

Drugim niezwykle ważnym zakładem w kujawskim "białym" zagłębiu" jest wytwórnia wapna palonego i hydratyzowanego. W obecnym miejscu zakład istnieje od roku 1956, kiedy to w ramach powojennej modernizacji obiektów zagłębia wapiennego powstały dwa piece obrotowe do wypału wapna. W 1975 roku uruchomiony został nowy oddział wypału wapna Bielawy II w oparciu o dwa nowoczesne piece regeneracyjne firmy MAERZ. Ich zasada działania opiera się o dwa naprzemiennie pracujące szyby, z których w jednym zachodzi proces wypalania wapna, a drugi jest ogrzewany spalinami z tego procesu. Co kilkanaście minut następuje zamiana, czyli tzw. rewersja i szyb opalany staje się szybem ogrzewanym. Dzięki temu uzyskuje się duże wydajności produkcyjne wapna przy jednoczesnym niskim zużyciu paliw w porównaniu do tradycyjnych pieców szybowych czy obrotowych. Paliwo dostarczane jest do pieców poprzez szereg lanc, umieszczonych w ich górnej części. Każdy z tych pieców ma wydajność 450 ton wapna palonego na dobę. Aby uzmysłowić duży rozmiar instalacji warto nadmienić, że wysokość kominów wynosi 50 metrów. Piece opalane są obecnie pyłem węgla brunatnego oraz rezerwowo gazem ziemnym. W przeszłości podstawowym paliwem był mazut, lecz restrykcyjne przepisy środowiskowe i konieczność jego ciągłego podgrzewania zadecydowały o wycofaniu tego paliwa. Tuż obok znajduje się zakład hydratyzacji wapna, gdzie produkowane jest wapno gaszone, używane między innymi w budownictwie. Obecnie zakład należy do spółki Trzuskawica SA, która jest częścią globalnego koncernu Cement Roadstone Holding (CRH).
More London is a development on the south bank of the River Thames. It includes the City Hall, a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianised area containing open-air sculptures and water features, including fountains lit by coloured lights. The Shard is also referred to as the Shard of Glass. It stands approximately 309 metres (1,014 ft) high, and is currently the tallest building in the European Union. HMS Belfast is a museum, originally a Royal Navy light cruiser. It is permanently moored in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum.
A stockpile of cut bamboo poles by one of the floating houses of the town of Kampong Chhnang. Built on the Tonle Sap River, close to Siem Reap, the town is the Provincial Capital and survives the annual rise and fall of the river and nearby Tonle Sap Lake by building floating structures or homes on tall stilts.
The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque is a traditional mosque in Shiraz, Iran, and is famous for its use of colored glass in its facade. Photo taken on July 31, 2008.
In the 1959 issue of the City of Wakefield official guide an advert for the local brick and stone supplier of George Armitage & Sons Ltd. It is always good to be able to ascribe a materials supplier to a particular building or structure and I can say that the Darrington Hotel still stands, in use as a pub, now adjacent to the Great North Road at Darrington. Equally it is interesting to see the name of the Leeds City Architect R A H LIvett whose work with that City's social housing is still recalled.
Armitage's had a long history having been founded in 1824 when work began to quarry stone at Robin Hood near Wakefield. By 1864 the company was making bricks with clays associated with quarrying and later from coal seams, and in 1907 it became associated with the brickworks at Oulton/Woodlesford to the south east of Leeds. In 1952 a further site was opened at Swillington and by 1975, their 150th anniversary, they were making some 64 million bricks a year. They sold out to Halifax based Marshalls in 1988 and so became part of Hanson's empire. There is still, apparently, a family link to the trade as one of the Armitage's now runs the York Handmade Brick Company.
I Photographed Conrad Yelvington CYXX Number 2108 and Conrad Yelvington CYDZ Number 239 in a Siding parallel to the main CSX Track just South of the CSX Yard in Wildwood, Florida.
CYXX 2108 is an EMD GP30M (aka: Rebuilt GP30), which was Built for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in November 1962.
It's Heritage is as follows: Conrad Yelvington #2108, ex CSXT #6931, exx Alabama & Gulf Coast Railroad (aka: AGR), nee: B&O #6931.
CYDZ 239 is an ALCO S2m, which was Built in June 1946 as Ontario Northland #1202. It's Heritage is as follows: Conrad Yelvington #239, ex IMC-Agrico #202, nee: Ontario Northland #1202.
There is a Wye here, which connects to the CSX Track which crosses Main Street (aka: US Route 301) on a CSX Track which went West to was used to go West towards Leesburg (Paralleling Sumter County Road 44A) where Surplus Freight cars were stored during the last Real Estate Recession. That Spur Track was later removed and now ends near Phillips Lane in Wildwood.

An advert from the 1934 edition of "Specification", issued annually by the Architectural Press and containing an index of building and construction subjects, relevant specifications along with allied contractors and materials. I do love the fact that the company name is so wonderfully specific - not only giving the town but also the county and the main product! In truth I suspect that the "Middlesex" was there to distinguish it from the other 'Enfield' brick company who were based in another heartland of red brick manufacturing, Accrington in Lancashire.
Enfield, as the diagram shows, was on the fringes of London and even today as one of the outer London Boroughs it is, to the north, still mainly open land thanks to the Green Belt legislation of the post-war era. However - southwards was during the Victorian and into the 20th Century prime building land for the massive expansion of the Metropolis and the Enfield Brick Company would have been well placed to exploit both the clay beds in this part of Middlesex and Essex as well as the growing market for bricks. As well as the standard 'Reds' the company made a 'Roman' brick with a distinctive bench-marked facing.
