Being a tourist isn't normally how I like to spend my weekends (books, movies, and a rousing bout of shopping are the norm), but this weekend I decided not to be my anti-social self and tag along with my fabulous coworkers on a trip to the historic Claybank Brick Plant. I won't bore you with the story of the place (you can read all about it on their website), but suffice to say I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting a setting it is and a great opportunity to break out my fancy new digital SLR camera!

 |
| The clay for which the plant made its bricks has many interesting textures |
 |
| I think that Catherine has found her dream house! |

| Donald, at the top of the clay bank (apparently climbing is allowed) |

| Rafters inside the plant |
 |
| Who knew that brick textures could be so numerous and interesting? This is just one of the examples |

| Paula on her way inside the giant kiln (Don't worry, it hasn't be active in years) |
