An innocuous photograph of a pallet of #bricks, actually posted on the website of a building materials wholesaler in Malaysia, was cited as proof that the protests were organized by nonprofit organizations supported by #GeorgeSoros, the financier who, to the feverishly conspiratorial #RightWing, has become a mastermind of global disorder.
I love the way glazed bricks have been used to add decorative elements to the facade of this section of a Victorian weaving factory on French Street in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow. It's small features like this which really help to make buildings stand out, but that are all too often missing from modern buildings.
Looks like #BlueBrixx is axing their series of 6W #train sets in favour of 8W: almost all 6W #locos and #coaces have been designated "EOL" (end-of-life) while quite a bunch of new 8W #models have been announced.
Doesn't mean threy are gone tomorrow but if you like their 6W rolling stock you should keep an eye on availability.
Customers seem to prefer 8W models and in terms of detail I can't blame them.
A bit geeky, I know, but I love this old stone wall in the Yorkhill area of Glasgow. I've got no idea of its age, but it leads down to the former Bishop's Mill, on the banks of the River Kelvin, which was built in 1839.

I'll admit this is geeky, even for me, but I love this bit of brickwork I came across the other day in the Garnethill area of Glasgow. It's a glazed brick wall with a curved corner transitioning to a sharp right-angle mid-way through a single brick. The transition happens just above head height and my guess is that the lower curved profile is designed to reduce the risk of damage to the lower section by passing carts and other vehicles.
