  My guess is a better camera angle.

  there are bricks everywhere, the bricks were made on site with a combo of cinnabar ore and clay.. it looks like 3-4 molds were used for the main bricks, and then at a later date another mold was introduced, as the composition and coloring is the same, i am going to assume the later date one was a mold as opposed to imported bricks.. Yes it was for a better angle, unfortunately we got there a bit late in the day and hauled azz taking pictures... on the plus side, it made for some amazing offroading ;)

  With "St. Louis" molded into that brick, it probably wasn't made on-site.

  well, i agree, the MOLD probably wasn't made on site... The bricks however....
