I was pretty happy to get some of the autumn colours before I headed back to Vancouver Island. We don't get the colours like this over here!
- Sintra, Portugal -
I cannot resist photographing this building whenever I visit Sintra. I think I have photographed it four years in a row? This is my most recent effort. Photographically speaking ... the scene itself improves with age ... if not the photography. I will resist posting the others for comparison in the hopes that the image stands on its own merits (truth be told - I am notorious for not key wording and generally not keeping up my image library properly and therefore it would take me ages to find them). I must prepare myself for the day when I will return to Sintra and I will find that they have torn this down and replaced it with something more functional but infinitely less charming.
Artwork without a title by the Danish sculptor Per Kirkeby at Skeppsholmen. I took a very similar photo here a year ago, because that is how I operate.

seen somewhere in Chicago west side, don't recall where now...I wondered what was the story behind bricking up that window....

Honeycombed brickwork in a wall of Flemish garden wall bond.
The honeycombs were used (back in the day) for allowing air to circulate. In this instance the circulating air was used to help keep animal food stuffs (such as hay) fresh.
The building is a former stable and barn, with space for horse & carriage to drive through the width of the barn, also to store the carriage in the barn.
Flemish garden wall bond consists of 3 stretchers (the brick laid longways) to 1 header (the brick laid short ways) all along each course.
Headers in a wall provide strength (English bond has many headers, and is the strongest bond). It’s very difficult to make a wall look nice on both sides with lots of headers being used (they can vary in length, but should be exactly 215mm long). So garden wall bonds are used, that have some headers, but not too many to make it difficult to face a wall on both sides.
I think you’ll find Flemish garden wall bond very attractive to the eye.
The current owners use tea-lighters to enhance and show off the now decorative honeycombed brickwork.

HWW!
View On Black Colourful brickwork masonry constructed in a herrinbone pattern. An unusually thick layer of mortar was applied to bind each brick and fill in any gaps in the the bricks.
Today, the We Are Here! group is visiting the group Brickworks. This brick pattern is part of the floor of the gazebo in Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, CA. It could do with a washing!

One of the most recognisable features of the town centre is the Epsom Clock Tower. But did you know that it was originally a weatherboarded Watch House that dates back to around 1711 and was located by what used to be the town’s pond? The Watch House was split into a fire engine house and a temporary lock-up – where the village policeman was paid by the parish vestry for escorting prisoners to trial at the nearest town after they had been locked up overnight.
After the vestry resolved to pull it down and sell all the materials including the clock, the task of re-designing it fell to two London architects James Butler and Henry Hodge. The Builder magazine reported that: ‘The openings for the dials are four feet six inches, and is to be built of red and Suffolk bricks. The four lions, bearing shields, are to be of Caen stone’.
On 19 November 1847, the foundation stone of Epsom Clock Tower was laid by Thomas Tompson, who was the chairman of the rebuilding committee. In fact, he owned a linen drapery shop which was situated in the spot Waterstones is now. After the ceremony, his committee retired to dinner at the nearby Kings Head, while hundreds of locals celebrated with beer in the streets!
