An old Ifugao Hut in Tam-awan Village. It is said that if a couple does not bear a child within a year of iving together, The native Ifugao couple stays here for a couple of months where a shaman (locally called mumbaki) performs a ritual upon them. A closer look at the houses will tell you they are well built , originally without a single nail used. A pride of philippine culture that is, sad to say, vanishing!

Ici, les encadrements des baies présentent de très élégantes lignes souples et en coup de fouet. La terrasse surmontant l'oriel, couverte par la toiture en pointe donnent à l'ensemble un cachet art nouveau très présent. Exceptionnellement, le propriétaire remarquant mon intérêt m'ayant invité à entrer, je peux vous montrer quelques photos de l'intérieur: notamment une vue vers le jardin que l'on découvre à travers une splendide paroi vitrée surmontée de très beaux vitraux . La menuiserie et les cuivres de la porte du hall sont exceptionnels.

Patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, l'abbaye de Montmajour, située à deux kms du centre ville d'Arles, et bâtie sur un ilôt rocheux, constitue un remarquable répertoire des formes architecturales romane, gothique et classique. Elle s'illustre par la construction de deux ensembles monastiques du XIe au XVIII siècles, lieux de vie d'une communauté de moines bénédictins. Elle accueille l'été des expositions dans le cadre des Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie d'Arles.
A very nice combination of Art Deco, Modernist, and traditional Chinese forms (the 2 lions with ball at the top) on this historic villa on Central Wulumuqi Rd.
I was coming back from Kierkegaard's graveyard and knew I'd never be able to come back to this spot later at night so I tried a rare day photo. This location would have been outside the city walls in Kierkegaard's day and would have probably been just grass and of no particular importance to him that I know of.
