Several thousand pounds of calcium carbonate, carried in solution from the hot springs that bubble up through thick limestone, are deposited onto the enormous terraces each day. As the terrace complex spreads and grows, surrounding vegetation is overtaken. In this photo dead trees are seen embedded in calcium carbonate,

Yuanyang Rice Terraces, located on the southern slopes of Ailao Mountain in Yuanyang County (part of Honghe Hani Autonomous Prefecture) and located in the south of Yunnan Province has been a masterpiece of the ingenuity of the Hani people for generations. Southern Ailao Mountain, with this typical tiered landscape, is famed for its unique frontier scenery.
The Hani people's ancestors came to this steep mountain area 2,500 years ago. In their struggle against the difficult terrain they successfully established the terraces, where they grew rice in order to make a living. The technology of developing fertile land on rugged mountain slopes didn't spread all over China and Southeast Asia until 14th century. The creativity of the Hani people turned this mountain area into one of artistic beauty. In recognition, the Ming Dynasty emperor granted the title of 'Skillful Sculptor' to Hani people and their good reputation was passed down from generation to generation. At present, known as 'land sculpture' the terraced fields have been being officially acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site.

To visit some of the famous Balinese Rice Terraces was on top of our list for this travel. From Ubud, were we stayed for a few days, the Tegallalang Rice Terraces were the closest and the easiest to reach with the motorbike. Of course we went there early morning to avoid the crowds of tourists. That payed off. We got no people at all, payed no entrance fee and found still some fog in the valley, wich made it more mysterious. Still the athmosphere was far from the mind-blowing photos we new from some travel magazines. The vegetation period seems to make a big difference in how photogenic the scene is in total. At the time of our visit most of the fields were not ordert, just full of mud, some were irrigated and some, like in this photo, were in a very early stage of growth.
Nevertheless, I am very happy with this photo, which was one of the first I shot that day. It even got a frame, which I only do with photos that deserve a proper presentation.
The archaeological site of the Moray Terraces is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru. These mysterious concentric circular terraces (andinas) were used for agriculture. Some scholars believe that they may have been used as a Inca agricultural research center - the higher terraces would be at a higher temperature than the inner ones and could simulate the conditions of various ecological strata.

The Machu Picchu plateau is supported by steep Inca terraces on all sides. Inca farmers used such terracing throughout the empire to control erosion and increase surface area in their Andean enclaves.
Apparently also known as Kangaroo House, this lovely old heritage residence at 27 Enoggera Terrace, Red Hill in Brisbane seems to have been converted into multiple flats. Nicely kept though and right across the road from the Red Hill Cinemas.
This note from the Brisbane City Council's heritage website
"This late Victorian residence was built circa 1891 for John Storie the younger, owner of Storie Steam Joinery on nearby Windsor Road. Its architectural features reveal evidence of the owner’s chosen trade, and reflect the heritage of Red Hill’s early industry. It remains as a significant example of early development along Enoggera Terrace and is important for its strong aesthetic value."

Villa Terrace is a historic house in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was built in 1924 for the Lloyd R. Smith family - an Italian Renaissance-style home on a bluff above Lake Michigan. Since 1966 the house and grounds have housed the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Lloyd R. Smith House. [Wikipedia]
Passing through the residential district of Northwich, Freightliner Shed 66616 has a sizeable load in tow with its 2,400t train of limestone aggregate quarried in Derbyshire. The working is the 9.56am from Tunstead which is headed for Garston on Merseyside (6F70).
The terraces on the left stand on Greenall Road, once a prime spot for watching the trains go by but now partly obscured by vegetation. The houses on the right stand on Alan Street and in fact it's the back of them you can see, hence the occasional garden shed! Hidden by the bushes is the single track east curve of the triangle carrying the line to Middlewich and Sandbach - still regularly used by freight as well as a diversionary route for passenger traffic when the West Coast Mainline is closed between Crewe and Hartford.
I took this shot with a pano in mind, so centred the train in the middle of the frame (vertically) to get the best lens performance. The occasional white streaks here and there are rain-drops.

Little Gord finds himself a terrace near the top away from the herd enjoying his favorite grass dish. I'm sure they all started together but by the time I arrived each mountain goat took separate routes among the rocks so I had the choice of about 7-8 backdrops for my shots. This little guy who I believe is Gord's grandson always strikes me as worth the extra effort for good shots. He's very cute. I did get plenty of hind shots of the rest of herd however as consolation prizes.
