Saint Peter's Abbey wall, Ghent, Belgium.

The abbey was built in the 7th Century. Not sure this wall and window frame are that old though.

Bestand saniert, leerstehende Dächer ausgebaut, neue Gebäude ergänzt: Beim Nachverdichten eines Postareals zum gemischt genutzten Quartier setzt das Büro GRAFT auf Ziegel als gestalterische Klammer – aber natürlich mit parametrischer Verfremdung.»Um sich in das Ensemble einzufügen, erhielten die Neubauten Ziegelfassaden« geben die Architekten an und liefern damit eine Erklärung für den Namen »Bricks Berlin Schöneberg«. Den Zugang zum Areal von der Hauptstraße in den Hof haben sie aufwendig inszeniert. Die Ziegel folgen einer parametrisch entworfenen geschwungenen Geometrie und bilden einen höhlenartigen Eingang aus. Quelle: db-bauzeitung

I wonder what's the story that hides behind the web. Different types of bricks in various conditions.

Within hours of seeing my first swallow return from Africa, they were down in the muddy puddles dipping dried grass into the wet mud for their nest building. That's dedication !!!

I've seen this building numerous times when I'm down there and never knew what is was...from the Google then...

"World Market Center Las Vegas, located at 495 Grand Central Parkway in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a 5-million-square-foot showcase for the home and hospitality contract furnishings industry in downtown Las Vegas. It is the largest showroom complex in the world for the home and hospitality furnishings industry, serving domestic and international sellers and buyers."

Now I know...now you know. The explanation isn't as cool as the photo though... :)

I was walking along a country path near home when I smelled a gorgeous scent. Unusual. Then I saw why: a bunch of wisteria was escaping from the garden behind the stone bricks. How many of you have had, at least once in your life, the wish to escape?
