Second, it is made into bricks using different shaped moulds and left to dry in the sun for days - these are for a circular well shaft
Jamie brought these home from a job site for me and I put them down...now I want more so I can do the whole garden :-)
Fountain Square is one of three art districts in Indianapolis. Lots to see, do, eat, and drink...and buy! I took this series of photos within a 20 minute time frame on a very hot day. I want to return when it's cooler.
Bricks crossing on the outdoor BART station platform at MacArthur. The concrete was a spooky shade of green, way more ominous than in daylight; it's as if they were getting ready for St. Patrick's Day.

An Abstract image of a brick wall taken on the Blackpool promenade, Lancashire, England.
The images in this series were inspired by Mishka Henner's 'No Man's Land', a series created using Google Maps randomly taken images on the roadside. This series is created in the same way by photographing from the window of my car while driving around my local area. However, I added my own personal touch by zooming in and positioning the camera to get abstract style images and this is the result. I believe this concept is what truly has made these images rather different if not unique. This series also shows how our streets that we walk along every day can be made into art if you just take the time to look at it in a different way. It showcases the natural beauty of our manmade structures and local wildlife amongst it that we often take for granted.
Please comment and critique because I would always love and appreciate feedback to improve my photography.
Walking back from taking this photo, I noticed the lines of the adjoining warehouse which I thought would make a nice monochrome shot (and I reckon I was right, especially in the largest sizes where the detail can be seen). However, because it was only red brickwork against a blue sky the colour version was also OK, and in a moment of decisive fence-sitting I uploaded both.
I did a bit of Photoshopping here to boost the contrast, blacken the blacky bits, etc etc, so I'm pleased with how much detail in the bricks was retained, especially since it was only the kit lens (seen best in the larger sizes). The whole thing ~ circular windows, multiple arches, perspective lines, repeating pattern of the roofs ~ has come together nicely.
At Blackley clay and shale have been mined and quarried from the mid 19th century and in the twentieth century became the home of "Wilkinsons of Elland" who stamped that proud boast on all their bricks. This brickworks closed in 1985.
The quarry has now became a landfill site but luckily a few buildings from the Blackley Mine have survived.
I decided with the nice weather today that I'd go downtown and walk around a bit and try to get some photos, so quite a few of those my end up on here over the next few days. This building is on the corner of 3rd and Main where the China Panda restaurant is located. Inside they have a lot of photos of the buildings in different phases over the years, some with only 2 stores, some with 3. Every time I go get takeout from China Panda I look at these photos. I think it used to be a hotel but now it houses the chinese restaurant, a coffee shop, and has apartments upstairs.
I found this facade fascinating, the brick panels resemble pilasters and not structure; with even the turned outlines on them exaggerating the effects. Most interesting perhaps is the separation of the brick 'pilasters' from the brick 'cap.'
This year's Brick Fiesta was a bit underwhelming compared to the last two, and I didn't exactly help matters by hardly building all year. But had a good time hanging out with Steve.
