If you get to Porth Wen just as the sun comes up the bricks of the old Porth Wen brickworks glow with that lovely warm pinky, orangy brick colour. There must have been a lot of rain over night and the little gully you follow down through the gorse was a fairly rapid stream that I thought might end in a waterfall at the bottom. But it wasn't that bad and I arrived just before the sun started to shed the long shadows and orangey light. I immediately headed for that outcrop of white quartz that rises out of no where and ends in a Durdle Door style archway where it falls towards the sea. I climbed to the top and set up my tripod but realised that with a 16mm wideangle it wasn't wideangled enough to get the three ovens and the main brick building in shot. I needed to move further back. Further back, and closer to the sea the spine of quartz has just one more step, but it is narrow and short and a few feet higher than the rest. I was not at all happy trying to get up on that last point. The vertical drop on three sides is considerable and I managed to get up on top on all fours. But I felt that if I tried to stand up I might over balance. Using my tripod as a third leg I unsteadily rose to my feet, not daring to move in any direction. Carefully I put up my tripod but the space was so small I couldn't spread the legs far and I had to stand in the space between the two tripod legs. I don't suffer from vertigo but boy did I feel wobbly and unhappy there. At Porth Wen brickworks I really was bricking it. I just hope the shot was worth it. Of course I could have made it much easier and safer, and just stitched two shots together from a closer vantage point.

I love the timeworn brickwork on this 2.5 million-bushel monster and only wish I had some better light on it for this photo. The layered brick totals 2.5 feet thick.
Transforming, Cole Blaq inspired LEGO™ brick robot.
I've always been inspired by the brickbuilt 3:1 4x2 brick sculptures. A few years ago I built version 1 of this little fella, put him in a box, and forgot about him.
I found him again recently, and decided to rebuild him from the ground up. There were lots of things wrong with v1, but I think I've managed to address them all.
Our Daily Challenge ... bricks.
I have just a few bricks left over from the garden edging. I will have to get some more before I can complete the last few metres
A strange phenomenon is connecting universes across the whole Multiverse and Kylo Ren heard about Sinestro. A guy who wants to bring order in the universe using one those rings shooting those colorful beams?! He, the mighty Kylo Ren (he holds himself in high regard and he is the only one to do it :) ) is the one who will bring order. He ordered his Stormtroopers to capture or kill this so called Sinestro (good luck).
A briefing room inside a First Order base.
Kylo is standing before several Stormtroopers. On a holoscreen there is an image of Sinestro.
Kylo: “This is your target. This clown named Sinestro claims he will bring order to the universe. He wants to steal our job but the First Order never fails!”
[Yeah, for sure: you lost the droid, two prisoners escaped your custody and your super base blew up. Yes, you never fail lol]
Kylo: “They say this clown’s powers are fueled by fear but Kylo Ren fears no one!”
He activates his lightsaber and starts to smash things around.
Kylo: “You [beep]! I’m the [beep] Kylo Ren and I’ll [beep, beep, beep]” A series of insults follows as he smashes half of the room before he is calmed down by the sight of a Darth Vader hologram.
The room is silent now.
Kylo: “Remember. Kylo Ren fears no one!”
Meow. A sound breaches the silence.
Kylo: “Ahhhhh!” He runs under a table.
Kylo: “A monster! Vader! Help me, Vader! Help…”
A Stormtrooper interrupts his screams: “Hey boss! It’s just General Hux’s cat!”
Kylo: “Hux! I hate Hux! Now reach the coordinates and bring me that Sinestro clown”
The Stormtrooper unit begins to search for Sinestro. They look around the planet for the whole day until a patrol makes contact.
Flametrooper: “Hey look! It’s our target!”
Stormtrooper: “Clown Sinestro (he thinks his name is Clown Sinestro), by order of the First Order you are under arrest!”
Flametrooper: “Realy?! By order or the First Order?”
Stormtrooper: “I’m still working on the catch phrase”
Sinestro approaches them. Tendrils of yellow energy pierce through the night as the troopers feel fear all around them.
Sinestro: “The servants of the alley rat…pooh!”
The Stormtroopers draw their weapons but Sinestro hand lights up with yellow energy.
Sinestro: “You can serve me and enforce order through the Galaxy or you can die in the name of Kylo Ren, the alley rat. Choose quickly.”
Stormtrooper: “So who do we choose: big bad yellow guy or the wannabe be Darth Vader?”
Flametrooper: “You really have to think about it?”
Stormtrooper: “Nah!”
Who do you think the chose hehe?
I realized I wrote a wall of text lol but I had this little parody scene in mind and I wanted to write it down :)
I hope you like this photo :)
May the Brick be with You :)
Yes, for the first time since October 2019, I've displayed models at a real-live LEGO event: Brick Féile, held just north of Dublin last weekend. It was fantastic to be around other LEGO fans again and to show models to the public, in a really friendly atmosphere.
The models are a subset of my movie car collection, which I last displayed in Manchester, in 2018. After that the models stayed in the UK, with the good people of Fairy Bricks, who were going to take them to Ireland for Brick Feile 2020. Due to the pandemic, this was postponed to 2022.
The models are getting old by now, but they were well looked after and the public loved them. And for me it was great to see them again, after four years!

Bricks ~ after falling down, I'm as black and blue as these bricks.
The walls are going up as the builders keep laying the bricks as they aim to complete before breaking up the holidays

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.

You do get to see interesting characters on the streets of Brick lane, more so on Friday nights.
Brick Lane, London/2014.

On the edge of Grand Ledge; a retired brick factory transformed into a park. They've cleaned the place up a bit since I took this photo in July of 2013, though it remains obviously a ruin.
