This historic old home was built in 1870 by the Umlauf family near Billings, MO. Wilhelm and Anna lived there with their 9 children. The house was made of clay bricks from the backyard. When they ran out of clay, wood was used to finish the top floor.
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - Transporter des briques en terre cuite sur la tête et en escaladant pieds nus une pente raide, n’est pas un boulot de tout repos. Et comme tout travail pénible, c’est mal payé.
Les briques seront entassées sur la bord de la route -sur laquelle je me trouve-, en attendant qu’une charrette tirée pas des zébus viennent les charger. Le jeune femme va ainsi faire une centaine d'allers et retours.
Transportation of bricks
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - Carrying clay bricks on your head and climbing barefoot up a steep slope is no easy job. And like all hard work, it is poorly paid.
The bricks will be piled up on the side of the road - on which I am -, waiting for a cart pulled by zebus to come and load them. The young woman will thus make a hundred round trips
… and a fence
I built this wall and fence 20 years ago, in 2003.
I didn’t know then that it would form part of, and support for the deck.
Initially it was just a dividing wall & fence between us and our next door neighbours.
In fact it’s a series of walls each one measuring 8 bricks long (or 1790mm) in between each wall is a 100mm x 100mm (4” x 4”) timber post which is concreted in.
When I was setting this out I first concreted the posts 1790mm apart. I then laid the foundation concrete, followed by building the walls.
By doing it this way I could build a solid fence on the top of the wall.
This Spring I’ll give the fence another coat of Cuprinol Ducksback fence paint, and it’ll be good for another couple of years … then I’ll paint it again.
I put the 6ft vertical boards on both sides of the horizontal boards that stretch from post to post; that way the wind can get through, but you can’t see through.
Where does the time go? 20 years ago!!!

Das Foto zeigt mit den dunkelgelben Krokussen einerseits kultivierte Natur im Steingarten, andererseits mit dem Ziegel auch ein Stück menschliche Kulturgeschichte. Dieser Ziegel mit den Insignien H und D sowie dem Doppeladler mit dem W stammt aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts vom Wienerberger Ziegelwerk des Heinrich Drasche. Wien war damals die viertgrößte Stadt der Welt und deren Wachstum verlangte viel mehr und bessere Ziegel als die bis dahin in Feldziegeleien getrockneten Lehmziegel. Heinrich Drasche erfand den industriellen Brennofen für Tonziegel und durfte auf seinen Tonziegeln denDoppeladler zeigen, was vom kaiserlichen Hof nur relativ selten erlaubt wurde. Das heute aktive, große Baustoff-Unternehmen Wienerberger ist der Nachfolger vom Ziegelwerk des Heinrich Drasche.
The photo shows with the dark yellow crocuses on the one hand cultivated nature in the rock garden, and with the brick on the other hand also a piece of human cultural history. This brick with the insignia H and D as well as the double-headed eagle with the W originates from the Wienerberger brickworks of Heinrich Drasche in the middle of the 19th century. At that time, Vienna was the fourth largest city in the world and its growth required many more and better bricks than the clay bricks that had been dried in field brickworks until then. Heinrich Drasche invented the industrial kiln for clay bricks and was allowed to display the double-headed eagle on his clay bricks, which was only allowed relatively rarely by the imperial court. Wienerberger, the large building materials company active today, is the successor to Heinrich Drasche's brickworks.

Among the rocks and pebbles that tumble down the cliffs into the sea, are occasional clay bricks and pieces of bricks. Sometimes one at a time, and sometimes among entire foundations the bricks are released from the cliff walls and are washed into the ocean. Through wave action, they make their way down to the water's edge where, along with other earthy stones, wood and land debris, they are assimilated to all things the water works... smooth, round and oblong shapes.

Die alte Waldbahn in Lauenburg - Buchhorst diente zum Transport von Ton für die in Buchhorst ansässige Ziegelei. / The old railway was used for clay transportation to the brick factory in Lauenburg / Buchhorst.
This picture was taken a few years back. I saw this gentleman watering brick tiles at a brick factory plant and I was intrigued by the leading lines created by the tiles.

Port Moorowie and Troubridge Point Lighthouse.
The tiny settlement of Port Moorowie refers back to the pastoral era. Moorowie station which stretched from Hardwick Bay on Spencers Gulf to Port Moorowie on St Vincent Gulf was centred on Warooka. The station took its name from a Narrunga word meaning “sandy water”. Most of the station leasehold was resumed by the government in 1869 for the survey of the Hundred of Moorowie which was to be part of the experimental Agricultural Area established by the 1869 Strangways Act. This allowed farmers to buy farms with ten percent deposit of the land price which had to be repaid in four years. A port to service the farms was surveyed around 1871.But alas the private town of Yorketown was created in 1872 and Port Moorowie never developed. However a jetty was erected in 1882 and farmers did send loads of wheat and some salt off in ketches to Port Adelaide. This ceased in 1938 when it was cheaper to truck grain to Edithburgh for despatch to Port Adelaide.
Not far from Port Moorowie a very significant shipwreck occurred along this coast. The Clan Ranald sank in January 1909. 40 lives were lost and only 24 seamen were saved. The disaster happened after the introduction of the White Australia Policy thus the British Officers were buried in the main part of the Edithburgh cemetery and the Philippino and Indian crew were buried in an unmarked mass grave at the rear of the cemetery. The 20 surviving and injured seamen were immediately deported as they contravened the White Australia Policy. After this the federal government had to change the act to allow injured and wrecked seamen to recover before being deported! In recent years a plaque naming the Asian seamen has been erected in the cemetery. There is a small memorial to this shipwreck near the Troubridge Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is constructed with special clay bricks to withstand high winds and earthquakes. The light has a range of 22 nautical miles. The area is known for the treacherous seas of the Troubridge Shoal and by 1911 the shoals had claimed nineteen ships. This modern Point Troubridge Lighthouse was built on the mainland in 1980 to replace the Troubridge Shoal Lighthouse. The light itself is 62 metres above sea level.

Saint Anne's Church and Bernadine Monastery, Vilnius
St. Anne's Church (Lithuanian: Šv. Onos bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in Vilnius' Old Town, on the right bank of the Vilnia River. It is a prominent example of both Flamboyant Gothic and Brick Gothic styles. St. Anne's is a prominent landmark in the Old Town of Vilnius that enabled the district to be included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. According to a well-known legend, Emperor Napoleon, after seeing the church during the Franco-Russian War in 1812, expressed a wish to carry the church home with him to Paris 'in the palm of his hand'. On August 23, 1987 the Lithuanian Freedom League held a rally in a square near the church and the monument of Adam Mickiewicz to protest the ongoing Soviet occupation, which was broken up by the militia.
Advanced thank you to all for the views, comments, awards and faves for the photo.

This was taken on a mission to check some archaeological site which is found during the construction of a new bridge in Golden Horn.
Bold March sunlight bounces
off the yellow-grey-brown claybricks
of the house across the gardens;
the next-door neighbour’s cut the dead ivy
and the reflected light hits the artificial flowers
and their strong delicate colours, glowing
in their various cobalt vases; blooming joyful
where living flowers find that corner sad;
the flowers as if washed today with brighter water-colours;
as if grace itself, wishing to send a message
to this room today, had chosen the spectrum
of the flowers’ purples, yellows, blues and reds
as its medium and message; and its smile;
today, the spectrum is for me
metaphor enough – its rainbow limits
playing now-you-see-me… with the retina,
hinting at the formless always beckoning
there, beyond the form..
metaphor enough
for heaven’s mind itself; and heaven’s smile.

Perhaps there is the house in which the little girls lives. It was not far from the place where i have taken her photo. I love the colour of the earth and the bricks so much...
