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.
At what level, you ask? Don't ask here, just come to the show, and see!
Yes, there are short shots, sabers, RPGs, overmolds, and even more buried deep down. Come and dig!
Streetart on a wall near the canal - I thought the bricks pattern made it look ever so slightly like 8-bit graphics. Quick snap with the phone camera
I do enjoy strolling around Brick Lane particularly while wearing a comfortable skirt like this. Loads of nice pubs and restaurants in the area and plenty of vintage clothes shops to wander around in. You must join me one day.
reminder of the great san francisco earthquake. not pretty, but i liked the variety of brickwork and geometrical shapes.
The now defunct Toronto Harbour Commission (THC) began construction of the peninsula in the late 1950s. Its originally foreseen purpose was to provide a breakwater for Toronto's Outer Harbour, which itself was expected to be necessary to handle the increase in shipping on the Great Lakes after the Saint Lawrence Seaway opened in 1959. However, owing to the containerization revolution of the 1960s, the need for an outer harbour never arose, and all cargo ships calling at Toronto still use the Inner Harbour, while the Outer Harbour sees only pleasure boat traffic.
The need for the headland, however, did not disappear. In the 1960s and 1970s, development in Toronto proceeded rapidly, and the Leslie Street Spit was a convenient place to dump the endless supply of rubble and earth generated by all the building projects in the city. (from wikipedia)

Brick Rodeo was in Austin TX this year and we finally got to attend for more than one day (we bought the AFOL passes). I was thrilled to find these minifigs in my goody bag.,, especially the custom printed purple space torso :-)
I rearranged the minifigs slightly. The female face was on the red spaceman and I moved it to the purple torso. I also changed the hair to something that would fit over the purple oxygen tanks but otherwise, these are very similar to what we were given.
It was a fun event and I can't wait to attend it the next time it's in Austin (I think that's 2 years from now). I only wish it could be in Austin every year.....

God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun,
And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone,
It can't outmatched, it can't be outrun, no...

Detail of interior brick wall at the new Victrola on Pike. It warms the cockles of my heart to see new businesses that respect the beautiful old bones and architectural details of the spaces they build upon.
Despite similar looks, this tessellation is not Momotani’s Wall — it is a different pattern designed by myself. Its relation to Momotani’s Wall is roughly such as the relation of Pythagorean Tiling to Rectangle and Square Flagstone.
The twists being placed around the rectangle with rotational but without axial symmetry lead to some interesting properties. First, the tessellation is not rectangular, although the staggered rectangles create a roughly rectangular outline whose sides are not parallel to the sides of the bricks. Second, unlike Momotani’s Brick Wall, the bricks in this design can be made with different proportions. The height is always two grid units and the length can be arbitrary as long as it’s at least two grid units. In this fold, the proportions are 3:2. The case with square bricks is the same design as Pythagorean Tiling with 1:1 ratio and the way I came up with the idea for Shifted Bricks was by modifying that model. It is even possible to mix different brick lengths in a single model as long as the length is consistent along each strip of bricks whose top and bottom edges are adjacent.
Shifted Bricks is an iso-area tessellation. In contrast to Momotani’s Wall, the bricks on both sides are parallel rather than perpendicular to each other. The direction of the slant between brick columns is mirrored between the sides. In the pictures you can see that I folded the model in such way that the front side is completely clean while the back side has some visible construction creases. Folding both sides cleanly seems possible for but rather tedious for larger grids (the model shown here is from 32×32 grid).
I will be teaching this model at the online CDO convention this November. If you want to try making a clean fold (with lots of precreasing), you can use the instructions I made available at origami.kosmulski.org/instructions/shifted-bricks
