Whoever laid the bricks did so in a
very nice herringbone pattern. Actually, you know what I always find myself thinking when I see bricks; that the concept of a homogenous 'brick red' is a ridiculous myth. Take a look in the picture itself, the colors range through tones that are almost yellow or orange, through the 'classic' 'brick red' all the way to dark brown and almost black. But every time you see someone draw or paint some kind of brick building, they always do so with the bricks solely in 'brick red'...
Even the bricks of the buildings in the background are tanish-yellow, not red.
Same thing with the grass and the concept of 'green grass', really. It's not a pure single-tone green, it's mixed tones of light- dark- and mid-, with some yellows and browns in there, but people still perpetuate the 'green grass' myth.
What? I build terrain as one of my other hobbies, I think about these things.
Oh... we were supposed to discuss the subject on the sign in the picture and not the picture itself? My bad.
