The final piece of the portico was put into place. The original design was for a fully bricked arch clad in stacked stone, but I preferred the rendered look. To brick across the top piece would have required some ugly metal supports, so it was decided to do a faux top piece in blue board before rendering the lot. I really like the look as it reminds me of the trapezoidal Incan arches of Macchu Picchu, a theme that will be carried through with my photographs and mementos of South America.
