Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. The rules are rather simple.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.NOTEThis week's theme was suggested by tonyw. (Thanks, Tony!) |

In full transparency - when I took this I wasn't thinking of the weekly photo theme. That said, this was just taken yesterday. Just a little touchup in Lightroom and some dynamic contrast in On1.  |

All in all ....  ... "Another Brick in the Wall". Credit to Pink Floyd for oh so many inspirations, and to Sepiana and Tony for the theme. |

Portage Park Gate and closeup i.ibb.co/KhhHYBX/Gateway.jpgi.ibb.co/vxM6Tjp/Pillar.jpgAfter the Great Fire of 1871, Chicago was rebuilt with brick. The examples of brick and stonework are pretty close to infinite. But these two photos are of two of the most unusual I have seen so far. This is Portage Park, the area of Chicago where I live now. This is the main gate and a nearby example of the stonework cjt |

Lots of brick and stonework in town here as - like Chicago - there was a fire and a resultant by-law requiring brick or stone instead of wood. Some of the brick facades do need attention like this one which I only realised when looking at the photo that it appears to be held together with chicken wire!  Second is part of the town hall which is in much better shape - a very dull day so I had to replace the sky to brighten things up a bit  Tony |

The Drewry House is an early twentieth-century, two-storey building situated on the north bank of the Crowsnest River near Cowley, Alberta. Constructed of locally quarried, rough-faced sandstone, it features a hipped roof, plain exterior, and window bays on the west and south facades.  |

Two photos from earlier today - our local church wall faced with flint. Attractive and waterproof. Dennis Dennis, what an architectural gem you captured! Great idea adding a close-up shot of the flint work; it shows its attractive design. |

Andy, the choice of portrait-orientation is perfect for this subject; it follows the vertical lines of the stone steps. Thanks for acknowledging when this photo was taken! |

This is Portage Park, the area of Chicago where I live now. This is the main gate and a nearby example of the stonework cjt, beautiful stonework, enhanced by the curvy lines of the gate. Interesting piece of Chicago architectural history! |
