Brick Lane, London. This is the heart of the city's Bengali community. If you're into hot Indian food, this is the place for you.
Commissioned to celebrate Darlington's railway heritage and situated by the A66 on the edge of town, near the original Stockton & Darlington Railway line.
This picture is part of a series in progress, a personal project, on the brick factories in Nepal.
This location is not included in the Expeditions we undertake.
I believe that there are certain boundaries were each human being, be it a photographer or not, has to make his own personal choice. This can not be a matter of touristic photographic trips..
Nomad Photographic Expedition is organising photographic expeditions to special locations within exotic destinations.
Come with me on my next trip: Nomad Photographic Expedition

It's been quite a while since I built my first bonsai, so it was time for another try. Though, this build is more the result of testing out two different techniques, rather than an attempt at creating a complete piece.
The first technique is the brick pattern of the pot, which is something I've been fiddling with for a while. I wanted to use 1x3 tiles rather than 1x2, which seems to be the norm, to represent the bricks as it fits better with real measurements. Of course, 1x2 tiles have the huge advantage in that it can slide on a single stud to any position, while the 1x3 tile has only 3 positions (5 if you use hollow studs). I wanted to make a technique using 1x3 tiles, with a halfplate offset between bricks in all directions, which made for quite a challenge. The result fits the bill, but is a bit on the inflexible side, and quite messy in the back.
The second technique is the tree trunk. I've seen similar things done here and there and I wanted to try it for myself. Basically it's a tree built by technic connectors with a bunch of debris tied to it with lego strings. It's quite tedious and you can't really follow a formula, but after a while it becomes a bit clearer which pieces fits where.
Photography is pretty poor and I would have liked to take some more photos and find a better angle, but unfortunately the build got pretty beat up by my very own inhouse demolition squad ;)

Loods015 is the building that hosts many activities related to the development of the new urban area in Delft on and around the former railroad track, called Nieuw (New) Delft. A few days ago, children of the primary school Monseigneur Bekkersschool have painted a lot of happy flowers on the wall of the building to express the positive effect that this new development will have on the city and its citizens.
I have used this mural to create my piece of work. I took several excerpts of this long mural, aligned them all on the underlying bricks and blended them together into one colourful ensemble. To express my own excitement that I am going to live in this new area at the end of next year.

"HARTSHILL HAND-MADE TILES are NOT Machine Made ... BUT each and every TILE made entirely by HAND." Advertisement in the Architects and Surveyors Compendium for 1908 by the Hartshill Brick & Tile Co. Ltd., Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent, 'North Staffs.'
As I was walking around campus on a super bright autumn day I spotted these interesting fence and tree shadows cast upon our standard patterned brick sidewalk.
Fence Friday is pretty tricky for me. Most of our fences are just chain link draped between the metal posts.
We also have lots of construction fences, but they are usually large, covered with some kind of banner or work cloth and concealing the interesting things behind them.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
I designed this tessellation as a variant of Momotani’s Wall with some extra spacing between the bricks added (hence the name Brick and Mortar Tessellation).
The basic molecule is 5×5 grid units — compared to the classic, the difference is using a square twist with 2:1 slope instead of the 1:1 Kawasaki twist. Just like the original, this is an iso-area tessellation.
It’s a simple modification so someone may well have folded it before.
Part mosaic and part silhouette built for Bricks Culture Magazine as part of my one year residency.
The build was inspired by a photo I took on my honeymoon in 2004.
Just over a year ago, a fire broke out on Columbia Street and destroyed half a block of historic buildings.
These eroded bricks with embedded stones and pebbles are part of a wall in Pinkneys Lane, Southwold. They are not as high as modern bricks. I wonder if they are recycled Roman bricks. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Due chilometri a nord di Castelleone, sorge l’imponente chiesa di Santa Maria in Bressanoro, raggiungibile attraverso un breve meandro di viottoli di campagna.
In questo luogo, a metà del XV secolo, il francescano portoghese Amedeo Menez de Silva convinse Bianca Maria Visconti, duchessa di Milano e moglie di Francesco Sforza, a promuovere la costruzione di una grande chiesa con annesso convento quale sede della sua congregazione detta appunto degli “Amadeiti”. La chiesa risulta iniziata nel 1465 e terminata nel 1470.
La chiesa è costruita in mattoni rossi ed è caratterizzata da decorazioni in terracotta.
All’interno ornano le pareti 29 affreschi con la vita di Cristo.
Nella grande crocefissione compaiono Bianca Maria Visconti, il marito Francesco Sforza, le due figlie Elisabetta e Ippolita e altri membri della famiglia ducale, compreso Ludovico il Moro giovinetto.
L’intero ciclo, datato al nono decennio del XV secolo è opera di autori sconosciuti, legati a modelli iconografici arcaici, con una matrice tardo-gotica.
Two kilometers north of Castelleone, rises the imposing church of Santa Maria in Bressanoro, reached through a meander country lanes.
In this place, in the middle of the fifteenth century, the Portuguese Franciscan Amedeo Menez de Silva convinced Bianca Maria Visconti, Duchess of Milan and wife of Francesco Sforza, to promote the construction of a large church with a convent as the seat of his congregation called "Amadeiti".
The church is built in red brick and is characterized by terracotta decorations.
Inside 29 frescoes with the life of Christ adorn the walls.
The whole cycle, dated to the ninth decade of the fifteenth century is the work of unknown authors, linked to archaic iconographic models, with a late gothic matrix.
Street scene in Budapest Hungary. The buildings throughout the city have a lot of charm and character.
Originally a 19th century brick factory along the Mohawk River, currently converted into living space. Halfmoon, NY.
I’m excited to be a part of a new brick art app that launches this week. Find and follow me on brickly.
