Round houses in the garden and resort Paraiso de avedad , Philippines
We had the opportunity to visit Paraiso de Avedad near San Pablo city, and I must say, it left me utterly captivated. The resort effortlessly weaves together the splendor of nature and gardens, the allure of history, and the magnificence of architectural design. Surrounded by lush landscapes and breathtaking vistas, the resort truly lives up to its name as a paradise. At this moment in time it is a beautiful day-resort and a restaurant with delicious food. The possibility to stay overnight is not yet possible for outsiders in this wonderful and peaceful community with friendly people.
The resort's rich history is felt in every nook and cranny, with relics and artifacts that tell tales of a bygone era. As I wandered through the pathways lined with ancient trees, I couldn't help but feel a profound connection to the past and with nature. The architectural design seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements, creating a harmonious ambiance that's both regal and inviting.
To the community we can only say: maraming salamat sa inyong lahat!
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
Peculiar round windows in an exterior wall of a high-level international bank. The wall is covered wtih what appear to be "thin bricks" of marble. In order to create an abstract, surreal image, I have inverted the section of wall with its windows. .
Location: International Bank of Settlements, Basel BS Switzerland.
In my album: Dan's Windows.

... und wieder geht es rund - Frühling, Sommer, Herbst, Winter ... egal was passiert - die Erde wird sich weiter drehen (bis sie zerstört wird ...)
Wer sich die Zeit nehmen möchte, hier sind ein paar gute Gedanken, wie ich finde: robert-betz.com/mediathek/aktueller-brief/2017/januar-2017/
the black-fronted dotterel (Charadrius melanops); unlike many other waders, it keeps the same plumage all year round.
this is on the banks of Wastwater and i can tell you these bikers didn't bomb along it like you would think...they sauntered actually.
We saw less than a dozen people this day up there.
Bet its been a tad different this week!!
Why did farmers build round barns? Many believed that round barns were efficient in a number of ways:
The round barn had a greater volume-to-surface ratio than a rectangular barn.
There is an estimated a 34% to 58% savings in cost of materials compared to a rectangular barn.
The open floor gave farmers space to work without having to dodge the posts supporting the building.
Farmers could also work in a continuous direction.
Feed was often stored in the center of the barn, making it easy to distribute to the stalls.
Stalls were wedge-shaped, which actually fits quite well with the natural shape of cattle.
But efficiency was just one of the reasons some farmers built round barns. Many people believed that round barns were stronger and could better withstand severe weather. Others thought that the design stayed warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
