Bali

Some pierced wall are created by building with unpatterned bricks in patterns. Some made by carving or casting.














In Canberra

Just a few from Australia's capital. These remind me of elements in the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.













Breeze blocks








These walls have been in my life for over 20 years, a view from the kitchen window. The concrete is rotting and the masonry is breaking down. Stan who built these walls has past away. He at the age of 75 used to ride a dragster bike with a small cart attached and ride along the road to collect blue metal from the edges for this concrete mixing.

Cutting of the Y

I was away at the time of the cutting of the Y. Jan took these shots for me. One just before the cutting, the other after the cutting.

Autumn

he says a word
and I say a word - autumn
is deepening
