Brick + Stone

Steeple Ashton, Wilts. Walls like this, with elegant curves, are seldom built now. Curved masonry walls can be created three ways. If the radius is large enough, standard brick can be used. If the radius is small, radial brick (curved brick manufactured to a specific radius) should be used. The third way is to cut standard brick to create a shorter inside length.
Our generation builds walls with sharp angles because they are conveniently simple and less expensive, not because they look good. Our age is utilitarian and rapacious.

Shot with a Nikkor-O.C Auto f/2 35mm lens on a Nikon D2Xs. This is a good lens and hard to find for sale. There's plenty of the f/2.8 35mm Nikkors. They are good, but not as good as the f/2.
