He absolutely HAD to hold onto the car.

Some things are THIS close. You know they'd fit, but. Isn't that space unclosable.

Everything starts with one step, or one #brick, or one word, or one day. #CityTavernClub #Georgetown #WashingtonDC #Washington #DistrictOfColumbia #USA #1796

part of my study of bricks... about finding something remarkable, even beautiful, in one of the ordinary everyday things that are the building blocks that (literally) contain life.

I've shown one of these before, but this is a particularly crisp example.

Gave up on the Mural version, decided to try things in 3-d instead. The result is much nicer.

Next step: A light kit (it's built to light up) and more 2x2 trans-clear rounds to extend the white light side of things.

Lancaster, PA

I like the various blocks of colour and texture here.

Written with chalk on the wall of a diner.

Building gauge - shows where the technic pin bricks are and how wide the road is and the location of the center stripe. Plates on one side edge of the road and tiles on the other side edge. There are nine rows of bricks between the edge tile/plate and the center line plate.

The brick foundation wall is bowing and buckling under the additional strain from the beams not being supported.

Bricks on our chimney. I originally took a much wider shot because the sky was so blue that the contrast was really interesting, but actually, the pattern in the bricks was what caught my eye.

I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!

I took these photos in East London in October 2016.

I stopped by the old Worcester State Mental Hospital yesterday after donating platelets. I had a better zoom lens with me (previous pictures were with my 18-55mm kit lens and a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot). Check out the detail of the clock face in the larger sizes.

when I visited the site on January 7th there was a worker moving the school rubble around with a backhoe. He let me take a couple bricks and some other things as a souvenier.

He told me these were "sand-bricks" made in Georgia.

In a perfect world I would've found one with part of the POPASH writing on it, but in a perfect world the school wouldn't have been torn down in the first place

Lovely dovetailed sidewalks in Annapolis, MD.

I'm not exactly a trainhead, but Sava's engines are a thing of beauty.

Near Ligonier, Indiana. A short remnant later bypassed by a smoother curve.

20070128 - As we finished the day and started our way back to our hotel, I can't help but pause to reflect as these construction workers carried baskets of bricks on their heads up the flights of stairs.

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.
