This was taken from on top a tour bus. I really have no idea where. I really like this one.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Insanity is the only word I can use to describe the sunrise this morning!
Insanity and Insanely beautiful!!
I drove a two hour round trip to get this shot, getting out of bed at 4:30am, and it was absolutley worth the effort.
People were stopping their cars on the road behind me and taking phone shots, whilst I stood there with all my gear, shooting away, and having the whole jetty to myself.
Unreal way to start a Wednesday morning.
Hope you like "Yellow Brick Road"
Cheers, Mike
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 ;)
A brick wall during the morning is illuminated by sunlight. Photo taken at Innovation Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
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.

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.
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.
Street scene in Budapest Hungary. The buildings throughout the city have a lot of charm and character.
