The brick factory work is seasonal and the employment is contractual, utterly insecure and wage is piece-rated. Though man & woman workers comprise about one-half of the total workforce in every factory, they hail from the families that survive by working as labourer in every conceivable sense; they are from lower caste and class.
if you don't have safari or windows vista with IE7 you wont see the true colors of this picture. fuck firefox for having shitty color management and fuck windows xp for the same reason. thank you
Too much to fit in frame without having a wide-angle lense (and a giant brick wall preventing me moving further back!)
This Art Nouveau building was once a fabric factory in Barcelona. Today it hosts the "Science Museum" CosmoCaixa.

Brick Hill 南朗山
- Using Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical
Nam Long Shan (also known as Brick Hill) is a hill on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong, near Wong Chuk Hang and Aberdeen. At an elevation of 247 metres, it overlooks the South China Sea in the south, Sham Wan and Aberdeen Channel in the west, and Deep Water Bay in the east.
The Summit of Ocean Park is on the southern slopes of Nam Long Shan, with a cable car system connecting through the eastern slopes to the Waterfront in Wong Chuk Hang.
Singapore International School, Canadian International School of Hong Kong, Good Shepherd Sisters Marycove Centre, Hong Kong Juvenile Care Centre Chan Nam Cheong Memorial School, Nam Long Hospital and David Trench Home for the Aged are on the western slope of the Nam Long Shan.
Just over a year ago, a fire broke out on Columbia Street and destroyed half a block of historic buildings.
This was taken from on top a tour bus. I really have no idea where. I really like this one.

Taken with Canon nFD 28mm f2.8 @f8. Processed in darktable ... fiddled around with the equalizer. Great tool!
Brick Kiln Bridge is a grade II listed bridge within Up Nately Local Nature Reserve. The bridge dates from 1790 and was strengthened in 1973 with a concrete saddle and four pairs of pattress plates connected by tie rods.
The bridge spans the derelict part of the Basingstoke Canal which is an English canal, completed in 1794, built to connect Basingstoke with the River Thames at Weybridge via the Wey Navigation.
From Basingstoke, the canal passes through or near Greywell, North Warnborough, Odiham, Dogmersfield, Fleet, Farnborough Airfield, Aldershot, Mytchett, Brookwood, Knaphill and Woking. Its eastern end is at Byfleet, where it connects to the Wey Navigation. This, in turn, leads to the River Thames at Weybridge. Its intended purpose was to allow boats to travel from the docks in East London to Basingstoke.
It was never a commercial success and, from 1950, lack of maintenance allowed the canal to become increasingly derelict. After many years of neglect, restoration commenced in 1977 and on 10 May 1991 the canal was reopened as a fully navigable waterway from the River Wey to almost as far as the Greywell Tunnel. However its usage is currently still limited by low water supply and conservation issues.
This is a section of the Basingstoke Canal between Up Nately and the Greywell Tunnel is still in water and is maintained as a nature reserve, with the towpath as a public footpath leading to the western end of the Greywell Tunnel. Footpaths over the hill lead to the eastern end of the tunnel, in the centre of Greywell village, and the towing path continues onwards to the present day limit of navigation about 500 metres to the east.
Up Nately LNR is a 2.8-hectare local nature reserve in Up Nately in Hampshire. It is owned by Hampshire County Council and Surrey County Council and managed by the Basingstoke Canal Authority. It is part of Butter Wood, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
There have been proposals to reconnect Basingstoke with the surviving section of the canal several times in the past, and this remains a long term aim of the Basingstoke Canal Society. However, the bat population now established in the Greywell Tunnel makes it unlikely that the tunnel will ever be able to be reopened.
Another possible idea that has been considered in the past, and is still a long term ambition today, is to connect the remaining canal to the Kennet and Avon Navigation via a new Berks and Hants Canal. This link was proposed three times between 1793 and 1810, and a route was even surveyed by John Rennie in 1824, but following opposition from landowners was eventually rejected by Parliament in 1824 and 1826. This route would allow the tunnel to remain undisturbed.
