Bricks in the wall


Down in Greymouth someone has painted the back of a building different colours, each section of bricks is different resulting in a sort of colourful puzzle effect - I think it's a very effective way of brightening up what would've been a dull wall.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

The multi-coloured panels look like the start of a migraine.... better than a plain dull concrete wall though.

I like how the colorful mosaic type brick panels were interspersed with the solid panels. Made it an interesting building.

I really like it. It looks like a row of brightly coloured garage doors. Some people are so creative and imaginative.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
