FAFE (Portugal): Casa do Penedo.
Casa construída nos anos 70 (terminada em 1974) a partir do aproveitamento de quatro rochas. As paredes externas foram revestidas com pedregulhos, semelhantes às rochas originais.
A casa tem dois pisos. No primeiro há uma sala e uma pequena cozinha. No andar de cima, uma casa de banho e três quartos. Tudo bem pequeno, inclusive as camas, para caber no espaço deixado pelas pedras.

"The Murtoa No 1 Grain Store, also known as the Murtoa Stick Shed is the largest rustically-built structure in the world. It was a 'temporary' grain shed, 270m long and 60m wide, built in late 1941 and early 1942, using 560 unmilled mountain ash tree trunks. [Australian heritage site: Murtoa No 1 Grain Store]
Murtoa Stick Shed, formally known as the Number 1 Emergency Grain Store, is a large grain store (silo) in Murtoa, a town in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia. It is located adjacent to the railway line in western Victoria’s vast wheatbelt. 560 upright poles, some 80-foot-long, went into building the cathedral-like structure. The joints are held together with galvanised hoop iron, allowing it to move in the wind. Many more poles went into fabricating the roof trusses and bracing. The slender mountain ash poles were probably salvaged from native forests at Powelltown, Noojee, Erica and the Otways burnt during the 1939 bushfires. The Murtoa Stick Shed, as it became known, is 870 feet long, 198 feet wide and 62 feet 10 inches high at the ridge, covering an area of 170,000 square feet and with a capacity of 3.4 million bushels or 95,000 tonnes. Australia experienced a wheat glut in the late 1930s as traditional export markets of Great Britain and Western Europe evaporated due to a shift in world trade and restrictions to shipping. By the outbreak of the War in 1939, the Australian wheat industry produced between 150 and 160 million bushels per year, of which 100 million had been traditionally exported. But only 48 of the 160 silos planned under the 1935 Victorian Silo Scheme had been completed.
The Murtoa Stick Shed was hurriedly built over four months between September 1941 and January 1942 and filled with grain within six months of its construction. The wheat stayed in storage until 1944. It was the first emergency bulk wheat storage shed built in Victoria and is the only one remaining of its type in Australia. Wartime shortages meant the builders had to rely upon and adapt traditional bush construction techniques. It’s claimed to be the largest “rustically-built” structure in the world. The Forests Commission Victoria (FCV) produced over half a million lineal feet of poles from State forests mainly for emergency storage of wheat in 1941/42." (Wikipedia)
Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo is the largest church in Venice, even bigger than Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. The church’s name translated into English is “Basilica of Saint John and Paul”. It was established by the Dominicans and it took nearly one century to build. It was finally consecrated on 12 November 1430. The Doge Jacopo Tiepolo had a vision in which he was told that part of his swampland was to be dedicated to God’s preachers. Thus, he donated this part of his land to the Dominicans and it is where the church currently stands.
Земля для этой церкви была, так же как и для Фрари, представленна по приказу Дожа Якопо Тьеполо. Первая церковь здесь была построена в 983 году, но впервые документально упоминается в 1184 году. Доминиканцам дали землю около 1230 года, и их первая церковь была завершена в 13 веке. Вскоре она оказалась слишком маленькой. Однако, работа над гораздо большей церковью началась в начале 14 века. В 1430 был завершен неф, и церковь была освящена в 1458-62. Церковь так же называют "Венецианский Пантеон", так как в ней находятся двадцать пять гробниц дожей.
They were a little dark, the side altars in the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice. But then the sun sent its rays into the interior of the beautiful church and penetrated the darkness. And if you were very quiet, you could hear Him speaking....in the church in the light of the sun.

En el año 1959 se declara a la villa de Cuacos de Yuste, perteneciente a la Comarca de La Vera, “Paraje Pintoresco”. Se trata de una calificación equivalente en la actualidad a la declaración de Bien de Interés Cultural, con categoría de Conjunto Histórico.
El teatro Victoria de Talavera de la Reina (Toledo) se levantó sobre el solar del antiguo corral de comedias del siglo XVII que fue derribado en 1892.
La fachada de tres alturas y composición simétrica es una minuciosa combinación de arquitectura modernista, en la que destacan los balcones metálicos historiados, los apliques de hierro y la azulejería.
Edificio construido en piedra a mediados del siglo XVI. Tiene una sola nave, en planta rectangular, cubierta con bóveda de medio cañón, fajada con lunetos. Se accede al templo por una portada, a los pies, próxima a la torre, en arco de medio punto.

Very typical of the small villages and towns in Mallorca are the narrow streets. Not enough that the houses are built close together, leaving little space for the alleys and streets between them. Mostly on one side of the street is parked one car after another. This makes maneuvering through the small towns not quite easy for the inexperienced, not to mention the orientation with the many one-way streets....but sometimes you are lucky and catch an alley completely without cars and people.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!

Much like traditional homes, even churches in the Faroes can have turf roofs. This one happens to be in Skálavík, a small village of less than 200 on the eastern coast of Sandoy. The town is home to a couple of famous Faroese authors, although honestly, famous by Faroese stands is unknown by global standards. The church itself was built way back in 1891.
There's not a ton of villages to see on Sandoy. Within a span of about 20 minutes you can drive from the ferry port in Skopun, through Magn, and into Skalavik. Of course, add some time to walk around a bit, but overall, that's like half the island. Add in time to drive to a couple more remote villages if you like, and you have yourself a nice little day trip.

Este antiguo templo se abandonó construyendo uno nuevo dentro del núcleo, donde se llevaron las piedras nobles y los objetos de culto. Esta decisión parece tomada desde las incomodidades que creaba tener que desplazarse no poco trecho por un camino dificultoso. Con el cambio, lo que fue templo pasó a ser cementerio, condición que conserva actualmente.
Photographed somewhere in the Faroe Islands, this scene pulled me in because of its natural flow. The rugged stone hut in the foreground anchors the image, guiding your eye toward the white church in the valley, and then even further into the dramatic mountains beyond.
If you look closely, there's a tiny boat floating quietly in the fjord—barely noticeable, but it adds that final touch of depth and story. The soft, moody light layered perfectly with the landscape's raw textures: rusted roofs, green ridges, and steep basalt cliffs.
Shot with a mild telephoto to compress the perspective and highlight the visual rhythm across the frame. One of those moments where everything simply clicked.

"Castle Hill Lighthouse is a solidly built structure, and has needed little more than routine care and maintenance over the years. The original wooden stairs were replaced by concrete steps in 1992. Castle Hill Light remains an important active aid to navigation, showing a flashing red light every thirty seconds, and has been used countless times as a beginning and ending point for the famous yacht races taking place in Newport."
