Alternative shot of the Main Shrine of Izumo Taisha. It is believed to be the residence of the enshrined gods, namely, Ookuninushi and his family members.
Shintou architectures are known to preserve original Japanese architectural traditions better than Buddhist architectures that were influenced by Korean and Chinese architectures. Although half-hidden by the walls, residences for the gods in the compound are constructed as stilt houses with a ladder. In this sense, they resemble the houses by the Yeak Laom Lake.
Architects point out that Japanese houses are designed to be well ventilated in order to be comfortable in humid summer by sacrificing protection against the cold in winter. In my opinion, it would be an influence of the Austroasiatic people, which came with the rice cultivation.
Rice cultivation in Japan started in Kyuushuu Island in the west around the 10th century B.C. and spread nationwide except for northern Honshuu and Hokkaidou by the 3rd century B.C., which roughly coincides with the period of Austroasiatic expansion. The style of earthen ware had drastically changed as rice cultivation spread.

Lohr liegt im Landkreis Main-Spessart. In den Fußgängerzone herrscht kein Mangel an schönen Fachwerkhäusern. Dabei wirkt Lohr aber keineswegs wie ein Freilichtmuseum sondern ist ein lebendiges charmantes Städtchen.

What's left of the marina in Alviso, California; the old main channel. It has been allowed to silt in and return to a mostly natural condition.
Happy Fence Friday from Pemaquid, Maine. Warm sunset light broke through the clouds just in time to light up the lighthouse :)
The main biodome and atrium. The idea behind this was to combine the Presidium Commons-like dome from the asteroid, the plaza area also from the asteroid, rolled into one big public space.
Featuring access ways and elevators to other areas, a common area for friends and crew to get together, drinking, eating, relaxing by the waterfall, all in one space. Powered by a condensed star-like Singularity core, in the centre. There's never a dull moment in this giant spaceship.
Not much left (except some great old buildings) along Main Street in the ghost town of Gilmore, Idaho south of Leadore.

The monks’ refectory, which lay to the south of the cloister, was demolished by Sir William Paulet to make way for a new gatehouse, to form a grand entrance to his house.
Standing close to Southampton Water, Netley Abbey is the most complete surviving Cistercian monastery in southern England. After the Suppression of the Monasteries the buildings were converted into a mansion for Sir William Paulet. The ruins now reflect over 800 years of change, during which the abbey was transformed from a monastic house to a mansion house, and later to a romantic ruin.

A local commuter train inbound to Philadelphia using the same tracks that are used and operated by Amtrak. Originally, these tracks were used by The Pennsylvania Rail Road (PRR). Before Amtrak took over these rails the PRR brought passengers to what in the Philadelphia area is called the Main Line described here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Main_Line
Le château des ducs de Bretagne est un château défensif et de plaisance situé à Nantes. Le château est classé monument historique depuis 1840. Le château a été construit au XVe siècle avec des éléments ajoutés aux XIVe au XVIIIe siècle. Fondé par les ducs de Bretagne au XIIIe siècle pour constituer une base défensive à Nantes, le château est devenu, sous François II, la principale résidence ducale bretonne. Sa fonction militaire est également utilisée par le duc lors de la Guerre folle au cours de laquelle il s'oppose au roi de France. Sa fille, la duchesse Anne, est plus tard contrainte d'épouser deux rois de France successifs, Charles VIII et Louis XII. Ces mariages entraînent l'union de la Bretagne à la France, définitivement scellée par un édit signé au château en 1532, par François Ier. Dès lors, le château perd son statut de résidence ducale pour devenir une forteresse royale. Il voit passer la plupart des rois de France, lorsque ceux-ci visitent la Bretagne, et il est la résidence officielle des gouverneurs de la province. Cependant, les séjours de ces derniers sont souvent brefs, à l'exception notable du duc de Mercœur, un gouverneur qui y tient une cour pendant les guerres de Religion. Sous l'Ancien Régime, le château sert aussi de prison d'État, ainsi que de caserne et d'arsenal militaire. Il ne subit aucune dégradation pendant la Révolution, mais l'explosion des réserves de poudre, en 1800, détruit une bonne part du monument. Propriété de la ville de Nantes à partir de 1915, il devient un musée en 1924. De 1990 à 2007, il bénéficie d’une rénovation de grande ampleur et il accueille, depuis 2007, le musée d'Histoire de Nantes.
The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a defensive and pleasure castle located in Nantes. The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 1840. The castle was built in the 15th century with elements added in the 14th to the 18th century. Founded by the Dukes of Brittany in the 13th century to constitute a defensive base in Nantes, the castle became, under François II, the main Breton ducal residence. His military function was also used by the Duke during the Mad War during which he opposed the King of France. His daughter, Duchess Anne, was later forced to marry two successive kings of France, Charles VIII and Louis XII. These marriages lead to the union of Brittany with France, definitively sealed by an edict signed at the castle in 1532, by François Ier. Consequently, the castle loses its status of ducal residence to become a royal fortress. It sees most of the kings of France pass, when they visit Brittany, and it is the official residence of the governors of the province. However, the stays of the latter are often brief, with the notable exception of the Duke of Mercœur, a governor who held a court there during the Wars of Religion. Under the Ancien Régime, the castle also served as a state prison, as well as barracks and military arsenal. It did not undergo any degradation during the Revolution, but the explosion of the powder reserves in 1800 destroyed a good part of the monument. Property of the city of Nantes from 1915, it became a museum in 1924. From 1990 to 2007, it benefited from a large-scale renovation and, since 2007, it has housed the Nantes History Museum.
