Another example of the beautiful brickwork in the Lorton Reformatory reverting to nature.

Not that all of Lorton's brickwork served lofty purposes—This wall borders the former sewage treatment plant for the prison complex, which is currently in the process of leeching some brightly-colored substance into Giles Run. (One wonders what Washington, D.C. had to do to get the EPA to turn a blind eye to leaving this facility intact in the Occoquan watershed?)
