@clickhere @donray Seconded!

@carstenraddatz That's a nice interpretation

@grahamperrin Ah, so it truly was specific! That was an interesting account, I could picture the whole scene

@wil Agreed! And this may be the flagbrick for equality,

@ColesStreetPothole

@ColesStreetPothole @michaelgemar A dark but intriguing thought - I can see a whole short story in this wall now.

@michaelgemar @ColesStreetPothole 'Evocative' is a nice word for it - yes, this very physical, functional brick manages to seem evocative.

@grahamperrin That seems specific, but I can't place the reference. I may have a vague memory of a nursery rhyme or skipping-rope song with a mulberry but otherwise am blank now.

@airwhale @constantorbit Agreed! Truly solid workmanship.

@AnnieBuddy

@juligudehus I was about to answer 'no, because asking a stranger if they were taking a photo for Mastodon would have made me seem weird' then realised that it probably wouldn't have seemed any weirder than me very publicly eyeballing a wall at close range and taking multiple pictures of one brick.

@emilyvanartist Oh, yes!

@newstik Ha - yes. Nice. I am not a tech person, but I could immediately see that.

@michaelgemar @ColesStreetPothole Agreed, that was my thought too. I both do and don't want to know the story. I sort of like the random mismatched mysteriousness of its presence.

@ColesStreetPothole I bet there's a hashtag. #MismatchedMasonry or #Brickstodon, with a lovely, peaceful, happy Mosstodonian-like community.

@wavesculptor This was an extremely Londony London Plane, then - it overhangs the media green front of the Houses of Parliament. Interesting to hear how the odd-brick-out may have come about. Thank you.

@AgatheBleibtDaheim

@wavesculptor Everything about this makes me happy. The idea of the tree 'dancing'. The fact that a random stone in a wall outdid Parliament Buildings, but then a random tree outdid the stone - a very Fediversey hierarchy. And best of all - you recognised the bare tree from its seedpods!

@JosephMeyer Oh thank you! That is a lovely thing to hear. You are very kind.

@donray Yes, that's what I thought!
