Bricks of our time

Some old bricks have been used to pack the hardcore on the track we ran alon leading up from the road to the Waterloo memorial. Curious I looked them up - to no ones surprise there is a site dedicated to Scottish Bricks

https://www.scottishbrickhistory.co.uk/white-hill/

These probably came from Mid Lothian. Other pieces documented are marked with comments such as ‘unfortunately this is not in my collection’. To each….

So now you know.

For A Project™, I need to learn about the historical origins of . Highly doubt these were first created on computers; where in the world have rectangular or carried a textual message? (The tiled signs in the subway are , not based on a grid.) Where did bitmap fonts really start?

There, the lighthouse is fully assembled. It's very, very pretty, and a delight to assemble.

I think #LEGO is fascinating.

As both child's toy and adult pass-time it is very stimulating and cathartic. Enjoyable.

The #bricks are all #plastic.

It takes two Kilogrammes of #oil to make one Kilogramme of #ABS Lego bricks. The #rPet alternative bricks haven't worked out. Yet.

In 2015 there were EIGHTY-SIX Lego bricks per human on the planet.

Current figures of BPP (bricks per person) differ, depending on who is doing the calculating.

Environmentally, Lego is far from harmless.

Brick tramways at the entrance to the former stables of the Glasgow and South Western Railway on Bell Street in Glasgow. Built around 1900, the tramways allowed cartwheels to move more smoothly over the otherwise cobbled stable yard. I've come across tramways made from granite slabs elsewhere in the city, but these are the only brick ones I've found so far.

Three things I love most on photography: submerged branches and trees, portraiture in nature, and BRICKS I REALLY LOVE BRICKKS. I would now understand now why it is so, and discover the implicit meaning and connection of body-brickies-leaves

Throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, Glasgow and its surrounding communities were home to a large and diverse range of brickworks, each of which stamped their own mark on their products. This sample from a small area of the foreshore below Dumbarton Castle gives you a fair idea of this diversity.

Well I'm pretty happy with this personal remix of Van Gogh-ish monuments. What do you think of it?

Actual question;
I have two holes in the fascia bricks in my house, they used to contain natural gas fueled space heaters. So 8-10 bricks per hole. I'd like to pull out the expanding foam I filled the holes up with and re-point the holes right? My question is; where do you even start locating matching bricks? Like I have absolutely no idea where to even begin to locate bricks from 1953 or so!
Any thoughts?

"Beneath the Veneer"

The brick building is painted gray. The bakery wanted a classic brick look. So they put a false brick veneer that looks like a brick wall over the real bricks that don't.

Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.

We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.

Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.

"The "#AmericanDream" is a very painful dream."

Returning to #Mexico with $55 after decades in the #UnitedStates, #OmarVazquez started his own successful #plant #business and soon expanded into a more personal pursuit of using the massive amounts of #sargassum washing ashore to make #bricks.

These blooms are likely caused by #ClimateChange, and this business may soon be another Everything, Everywhere, All at Once option for #sustainable #HomeBuilding.
