I found this solitary Lego brick on the steps of Edes House in Chichester as I arrived to accompany a pupil in a concert last Thursday. It struck me as being a very odd place to leave such an item so I picked it up, thinking it might make an interesting photo sometime. I decided its time had come today and felt it would look best shot against a contrasting yellow background. Judging by all the scratches it’s a very well used piece of Lego – no doubt its previous owner built lots of interesting constructions with it!

The contrast of colors gives to this simple object a particular aura ! josy63 · 2012-05-31: 11:17

Very Swedish! Annbramwell · 2012-05-31: 13:53

Wonderful contrast, it appears to be well loved. :) I usually find those with the bottom of my feet in the middle of the night. karmankwarner · 2012-05-31: 14:29

Is it the first brick....the last brick ...or just another brick in the wall? Wonderful shot...:) LAZYWASP · 2012-05-31: 17:10

lovely contrasting colours :) KatysPassionata · 2012-06-03: 12:41

I've read somewhere that Lego is the most ingenious game in the world. If this piece could tell us tales... =))) Nellinka · 2012-06-04: 00:58

Great arrangement, the blue brick against yellow background. Surely I have built lots of Lego, mostly together with my youngest son who has his room full :) Melusine · 2012-06-04: 06:10
