What's The Point ...

What's The Point ...
For this week's Sunday Challenge, for which we had to use the online random point generator to generate (not surprisingly) a random point that we then had to visit and photograph.

Sounds easy, but if you live in a rural location more often than not the random points were in the middle of nowhere and barely accessible. So, I reduced the parameters somewhat so as to hopefully get some points in town that I could get to easily and eventually it sent me to Friarage Street in Northallerton, which is where they are currently building a new Marks & Spencer food store.

The shot I've posted was taken from the corner of the building site looking up at one of the gable ends where they've rather interestingly left many of the bricks protruding out. At first glance I thought they were all sticking out an equal distance, but on closer inspection (although perhaps not evident from this shot) I found that the amount they stick out decreases as you get nearer the apex of the building.

I'll bet that was a fun job for someone and I can't help but wonder if they were left asking ... what's the point of that then?

By the way, I've added a screen shot of this random point from Google into the Notes. Interestingly nearly all of those buildings have been demolished, including the bungalow (top centre) to facilitate the construction of this new store.

cp_u, Lebojo, Armin Fuchs, Berny and 35 other people have particularly liked this photo

May be a random point but it's pointless to point out it's a pattern

Yes, still trying to make my mind up if it's been a fun challenge or just an irritating one - lol! ;)

I was getting a stiff neck zooming in and out of all of those random and useless locations that it threw up, but I got there in the end! :)

Excellent abstract Paul. Love the pattern made by the bricks and their shadows.
What if all the bricks were meant be flush against the wall but someone forgot the brick cutter? ;-)
