..... close to Pahia Ammos but hardly accessible from the land
The AR-31 Swordfish was one of the last planes designed by legendary aircraft engineer Gianco Aribetti. It was initially designed as a passenger plane, but when the Periphery Wars broke out it was very quickly adapted into two military variants: an armed scout plane (the AR-31S) and a torpedo bomber (the AR-31B) As the main theatre of the war was the Aenian archipelago, seaplanes were ideally suited to this environment. Of a planned production run of 500 warplanes only 177 were produced before the main factory was destroyed. Striking from hidden bases dotted throughout the archipelago, planes such as these formed an effective part of the Allied battle against Hanji occupation and eventually helped to liberate the periphery countries from their oppressors.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

The periphery. The marginalized. The neglected. The forgotten...
But the periphery is also a place where art thrives.
Where the truth survives.
(For those not familiar with Japanese or Japanese culture, "heso" means the "navel." It is, traditionally, the area where the soul dwells and also important as the link to one's mother.)

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
Lehde Open-air Museum: Farm buildings from the periphery of the Spreewald. At the left edge you see a farmhouse from Kittlitz, built in 1775, and in the centre a house from Suschow, built for the old parents of a farmer's family.
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.
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

Glasgow is known for its tenements. These were the most popular form of housing in 19th and 20th century Glasgow and remain the most common form of dwelling in Glasgow today. Tenements are commonly bought by a wide range of social types and are favoured for their large rooms, high ceilings and original period features. The Hyndland area of Glasgow is the only tenement conservation area in the UK and includes some tenement houses with as many as six bedrooms.
Like many cities in the UK, Glasgow witnessed the construction of high-rise housing in tower blocks in the 1960s. These were built to replace the decaying tenement buildings originally built for workers who migrated from the surrounding countryside, the Highlands, and the rest of the United Kingdom, particularly Ireland, in order to feed the local demand for labour. The massive demand outstripped new building and many, originally fine, tenements often became overcrowded and unsanitary. Many developed into the infamous Glasgow slums, such as the Gorbals. Efforts to improve this housing situation, most successfully with the City Improvement Trust, cleared the slums of the old town. Subsequent urban renewal initiatives entailed the demolition of slum tenement areas, the development of new towns on the periphery of the city, and the construction of tower blocks.
The policy of tenement demolition is now considered to have been short-sighted, wasteful and largely unsuccessful. Many of Glasgow's worst tenements were refurbished into desirable accommodation in the 1970s and 1980s and the policy of demolition is considered to have destroyed many fine examples of a "universally admired architectural" style.
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.
30 Days of Perception - Day 15 - Periphery
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.
