BMoxies 2nd Ever Photo Week – Day 2 (The Allusion of Metaphor) :: Flemish Bond
*******
Today, I’ve decided to reach back into the chronicles and grab something from Barry‘s Big Blog of Building, the inspiration for this photo series.
*******
AKA: Structural Brickwork in a Flemish Bond Pattern or . . . The Metaphor of Allusion
Location: Lewes, Delaware
In This Photo:
Originally published to the Big Blog of Building on October 1, 2009, Barry illustrates a Flemish Bond.
Additional Information:
There are a few traditional patterns, or bonds, in which brick can be laid. Here, interlocking headers and stretchers run both in each course make an un-common pattern.
With brickwork on my mind, a brick project underway, this seemed like a logical choice. It appears in Barry‘s first week of postings to the BBOB.
From September of 2009 to April of 2010, Barry posted a single original photograph per day. For anyone interested in things building, I would recommend spending a hour or so working your way through this archive. It is quite fascinating.

It is funny that it is patterned, and yet, it looks random to the quick eye.
Hold image about 12 inches in front of you.
Relax your eyes, and let them go out of focus.
Magically an image will appear.
ha! thanks Am. great day.
