In a church perimeter wall...
The darker bricks were fired to a higher temperature.
You can see some original mortar, but it also has unfortunately been repointed with cement, which doesn't let the wall breathe or dry naturally.
At least it does have a protective cap.

I appreciate when humans make a functional thing beautiful by adding a pattern like this. Simple and elegant beauty!

Ah, the clay knowledgeable person can speak well of these bricks. The colors mixed together is definitely more artistic than just all the same in row upon row.
Your retangle of just bricks has a certain beauty.
I wonder if that church wall was repurposed from old materials like a bridge?
Dave I think it was all the leftovers from building the church
You know about bricks and how they work. Very little brickwork here in western Canada.
It looks like a very old wall. I wonder when it was built.
