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.
You are looking across the Kolob Terrace to the Pine Valley Mountains with snow on them. Last winter was one with lots of snow and rain in South West Utah. Some parts of the Klolb Terrace are in Zion Park.
In the historic Rocks area of Sydney today, where the sun was casting such lovely shadows across this terrace.

Madeira Terraces in Madeira Drive is usually fenced off and locked but walking home one day I saw it was open. So I wandered in and took a few photo's. It reminded me of the Black Rock site abandoned for what seems like forever. I looked up the history on the B&H website. This is an excerpt:
Madeira Terrace was originally built as a covered promenade to attract tourists from London when the new railway opened in the late 1800s.It was opened in 1890, before being extended in 1927 to meet the Aquarium.
Since 2012, the terrace has been progressively closed to the public as the structure degraded and became unsafe.
It was finally fenced off in 2016, with 4 of the 6 staircases connecting Madeira Drive to Marine Parade also being closed.
Rows of terraced houses, which once would have been accommodation predominantly for cotton-mill workers

In 1973 I did a northern working trip with a friend. We headed north from Vancouver and our first stop was Terrace, where we found jobs on a tree planting crew. We stayed in the Luso Hotel, pictured above, which could be described most accurately as a dump. There were drunken fights in the hallway at night - that sort of thing. Was the town as bleak as it looks in this photo? Yes. I hear it's better now, but I haven't been back.
We felt we were being exploited - overworked, underpaid - and so I went to Kitimat to check out jobs at the Alcan smelter while David headed for Prince Rupert. No cell phones in those days, so we reported to each other via pay phone at a prearranged time. No luck at Alcan, but David told me there were jobs galore in Rupert, and he was correct. I hitchhiked the hundred miles from Terrace, and on the first morning of my "creative job search" was hired at the grain elevator. Total number of doors I knocked on: one. Total time searching: fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile I continued to document everything, including every place I passed through. A lifelong obsession. I'm sure the Luso - for losers, we figured - is long gone. This photo doesn't give me warm fuzzies, nor does it induce any nostalgia, but rather, gratitude that I only stayed a week. Best memory from Terrace? We spent evenings at a pub down the street, where we'd sip a couple of beers very slowly to make them last, while David taught me how to play chess. We played each other and anybody else who wanted a game every day for the next two months, and when our trip was over I could beat the average player. I still can. A good player, on the other hand, will almost always mop the floor with me.

Tucson. On the Magic Mile. And if this is the magic, a mile is too close. The old Ghost Ranch Lodge was down the street.
A terrace of six cottages - the family accommodation for the quarry men at Cwmorthin. The shadows from the slate fence caught my eye here
This early row of cottages were originally built as low-cost housing for BHP miners and their families. The two-room cottages were built of timber and corrugated iron. The rooms were small; a living room on one side and a bedroom on the other. There was originally no bathroom or kitchen, so residents shared a communal facility.
This part of Broken Hill has been redeveloped, but its heritage buildings, like these cottages, have been preserved.

Silica terrace at Orakei Korako on Lake Ohakuri in the geothermal area of North Island, New Zealand, near Taupo.
I was constantly amazed at the structure of these terraces. They must be in a constant state of change as water levels change in different areas.
And all this for a tiny crumb of bread. Never knew sparrows could be so elegant.
See where this picture was taken. [?]

The overgrown terraces of Cathkin park, formerly Scotland's national ground and known as Hampden park (the 2nd) before they moved up the road.
