Just back from a productive 90 minutes at Brick Kiln Plantation, which is about 20 minutes brisk walk from my house. I still reckon we have about a fortnight of colour ahead of us if no more big storms blow in. Also shot on Velvia and Portra ( exposures of 5 minutes but fortunately not a breath of wind.

Helped by some encouragement from another Flickr member -thank you once more Martin- , I redesigned the small capstan at the front. It now stands on the deck and is a bit lower.
I also heightened that deck a bit by one extra layer of tan bricks (there was a reason, but I have forgotten why I needed it higher).
Also in this picture; my small callibre swivel guns... Stud-shooters with a round 1x1 brick in stead of a stud.
If closed stud 1x1 round bricks are used, it can even shoot those bricks.

A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.
Brick Lane has a regular display of graffiti, which features artists such as Banksy, Stik, ROA, D*Face and Ben Eine. The lane has been used in many music videos such as "Glory Days" by Just Jack and "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers.

I just found an old cookie tin box filled with these roundabout 100 years old charming bricks in great condition. For me the black, gray and light gray bricks are new colors. Any info on these 3 colors would be much appriciated - as far as I know, they didn`t appear in the Batima wooden boxes.
Batima is the earliest known plastic construction toy, made in Belgium circa 1930, compression moulded from casein formaldehyde (milk curds hardened with formaldehyde).
Some great colourful brickwork on this person's house, accentuated by the mould and blackness (and the piece of chewing gum).
