all in all you're just another brick in the tumbled down wall

I pulled out some 1976 Bricks while my granddaughter was working on her latest creation and added a railing to the decks on my latest creation. You can also see her work in progress in the background. She had to leave before she finished.

This giant brick smokestack was erected over 100 years ago. There were once many like it in the Birmingham area. Now there is one. The rest have been harvested for their brick.

This stack helped conduct the No. 5 mine, which was a limestone mining operation.

This smokestack is the last of its kind in Alabama.

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.

brick lane

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.

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.

Flattr this!

in Centerville, Indiana

Espero que no haya sido así, así desde el comienzo, y espero que no lamentes el haberme conocido. Espero que no haya dolor dentro de tu corazón, porque el mío se cae en pedazos ..

.. when I'm far away from you .

A big brick Victorian house on a big lot in Little Falls.

Exterior, longer range view of the structure bearing the vault ceiling.

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.

Brick texture with old fashioned patterns and painting.

Location- Nottingham- City Centre

This photography is of a brick wall that shows the use of graffiti work. I particularly like how the graffiti changes the image of the bricks into 3-D and makes them brighter. The texture is rough and lit up by natural light. The location is set in the city centre where lots of the population live therefore brick walls are more likely to have signs of graffiti on them so it will change the walls appearance.

"Beautiful Freak"

You're such a beautiful freak

I wish there were more just like you

You're not like all of the others

And that is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

That is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Some people think you have a problem

But that problem lies only with them

Just 'cause you are not like the others

But that is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Yeah that is why i love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Too good for this world

But i hope you will stay

And i'll be here to see

That you don't fade away

You're such a beautiful freak

I bet you are flying inside

Dart down and then go for cover

And know that i

I love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

You know that i

I love you

Beautiful freak, beautiful freak ~Eels

Ballina Brick Event

A Street Photography approach to a visit to Brick Lane in the East End of London. It was walking distance from where I was staying in Whitechapel.

Its famous for its street market, colourful street art and is home to a thriving Bangladeshi community.

interesting bricks on the side of this party store have always caught my eye since i was a little kid but i never thought of taking a picture of it till now. another attempt at the self portraits everyone else does so well. i've never really liked doing selfies but i'm getting to the point where i want a person in some pictures. you always have yourself and i work cheap =).
