Red brick homes and snow something I look forward to every winter :) It reminds me of all those greeting cards I saw growing up... white roofs.. picket fences.. Santa on his sleigh.. magical memories :)
We have had freezing temperatures and snow sitting around for a week plus now... weekend when one does not have to go out and can cuddle up with a book and cup of hot chocolate near the window looking out it is FUN!! but when one has to trudge through the ice and snow to get to work it really is not that much FUN :)
This is our street... The first one in the comment is a panoramic shot of the street, then a shot of our home and my car with "icing" :)

A wall. How many times has it been bricked through? A wall that has been home to so many windows. A story beyond each one?
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.
Found in a pile of builders rubble on Heol Las, Talgarth. There was an Ebbw Vale brick in the same pile too, but my pictures of that came out badly.
Taken from the top of the bus.
This is a normal street in Bath, note the side flank with the bricked out windows, this was to avoid the "Window Tax" which was imposed under King William 111.
The number of windows in a property was a sign of wealth and so a tax was levied, to get out of this many homeowners had windows bricked over to avoid paying the tax.
I converted it to mono to add to the drama.
There is an entire area in the old downtown district in Oklahoma City that has been refurbished and is called "Bricktown". Of course all the buildings are old and made of bricks and some streets and sidewalks are also brick. This is actually the Bricktown Brewery.
Emily made these Mickey Mouse & Stitch Lego pieces. Lego has changed so much since I was a child and even since Emily was a child, it’s so cool now!

Call me crazy, but I think Harvard bricks look better than just about any other bricks out there. Must be the age thing.
