The periphery of Valencia has been beautified since my last visit in 2009. The architect Santiago Calatrava was the primary architect for these buildings.

There is one area in particular, of the woodland at Revolve Farms I've found captivating since it was first shown to me. It has a character different that the rest of the forest that I have explored to date and is always a place I go to spend dome time.
From a fall '24 visit to @revolvefarms.ca
Cuban cooks walk out of the cafeteria in the apartment block in Alamar, a public housing periphery of Havana, Cuba. The Cuban economic transformation (after the revolution in 1959) has changed the housing status in Cuba from a consumer commodity into a social right. In 1970s, to overcome the serious housing shortage, the Cuban state took over the Soviet Union concept of social housing. Using prefabricated panel factories, donated to Cuba by Soviets, huge public housing complexes have risen in the outskirts of Cuban towns. Although these mass housing settlements provided habitation to many families, they often lack infrastructure, culture, shops, services and well-maintained public spaces. Many local residents have no feeling of belonging and inspite of living on a tropical island, they claim to be “living in Siberia”. © Jan Sochor Photography

Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve
The edge of Fort Caroline was also that of the Timucuan Preserve where both ecology and history were the maim goal of preservation. I was glad to learn about the lives of the indigenous peoples here while appreciating the crisp landscape of Northern Florida.

The twisting path in the park invites us to discover further.
Line 166 is quite an interesting service. It's connecting Gubacsi út with the old terminal of Ferihegy airport, while following a half-circle shaped route over the South-Pest area, even leaving Budapest at some parts, passing next to remote areas with no passenger traffic whatsoever.
On this shot, 10-19 is passing over the rails of the Burma-railway, somewhere in no-man's land.
Lehde Open-air Museum: Farm from the periphery of the Spreewald, a combination of buildings from two sites. In the centre, behind the dovecote, you see a house from Suschow, built for the aged parents of a farmer's family about 1820, and at the right edge a farmhouse from Kittlitz, built in 1775.
Am Rande des Spreewalds besaßen die Bauern Anbauflächen von etwa 7 bis 15 Hektar, abhängig von der Qualität des Bodens. Damit hatten sie bessere Voraussetzung für die Landwirtschaft als im inneren Spreewald, wo alle Generationen sich ein Haus oder sogar eine Stube teilen mussten. Daher konnte man sich leisten, für die ältere Generation auf dem Hof ein eigenes Haus zu errichten, das sogenannte Auszugshaus.
At the periphery of the Spreewald the farmers owned cultivated areas of about 7 to 15 hectares, depending on the quality of the soil. This gave them better conditions for agriculture than in the inner Spreewald, where all generations had to share a house or even a living room. Therefore they could afford to build a separate house on the farm for the older generation.
Lehde (Lědy in the local Sorbian language) is a village situated near Lübbenau and meawhile integrated into that town. While Lehde had 298 inhabitants in 1929, only 150 people still live here (as of 2017). The place is a village consisting of many small islands. For centuries, until the early 1950s, Lehde could only be reached by water. Even today, practically all plots of land have their own access to one of the many canals between 0.8 and 1 meter deep, which largely have the function of roads. Postal deliveries and waste collection still take place by water. During the winter months, however, mail is delivered to mailboxes set up by the residents on the landside, by mail bike or car.
Due to the unusual location of Lehde and some preserved historical Spreewald houses, Lehde, which is completely under monumental protection, is a popular destination for tourists. Lehde can also be reached on foot, by bicycle or by car, however, the beauty and special features of the place can be experienced above all from the water side. (Wikpedia.de)
The Spreewald (German for 'Spree Forest'; in Lower Sorbian: Błota, i.e. 'the Swamps') is a section of the German state of Brandenburg located about 100 km sou It is known for its traditional irrigation system, consisting of more than 200 small canals (called Fließe; total length: 1,300 kilometres or 810 miles) within the 484-square-kilometre (187 sq mi) area. The landscape was shaped during the last Ice Age. About 50,000 people live in the biosphere reserve (1998). Many of them are descendants of the first settlers in the Spreewald region, the Slavic tribes of the Sorbs and Wends. They have preserved their traditional language, customs and clothing to this day.
Most inhabitants depend on tourism. Many tourists explore the Spreewald in punts. Agriculture, forestry and fishery are other important sources of income. The principal town of the area is Lübbenau. Alder forests on wetlands and pine forests on sandy dry areas are characteristic of the Spreewald region. Grasslands and fields can be found as well. About 18,000 species of flora and fauna have been identified. In 1991, the Spreewald was protected by the UNESCO under its Man and Biosphere Reserve Programme.

Situated at the periphery of the cultivated area of Tetang are five protective devices known as Rigsum Gönpo, which literally means the three (gum) protectors (moon-po) of the families (rigs) of Bodhisattvas identified as Manjusri, Avalokitesvara and Vajrapani. Indeed each Rigsum Gönpo consist of three chortens, each of them painted in a different color: red (the color associated with Manjusri) , white (the color associated with Avalokitesvara) and black (the color associated with Vajrapani). Rigsum Gönpo are in a sense the "walls" of a settlement, a barrier against the intrusion of unwelcome visitors and evil spirits.
An outsider. Perched on the periphery of a place I cannot reach. The sediment shores of new lands crumble under each new footfall. Seductive waves splash at my ground. Ahead of a bright horizon. Observer my cast role. Camouflage granting only superficial access. Destined to glimpse community. Experience but a taste of its golden offerings. Before reality comes for repossession. Tossing my vessel to the fringe. Where I await the next welcome opportunity.
