The Baerenschloessle (in English: "Bear Small Castle"), a former maison de plaisance and today’s café, located at the Baerensee (in English: "Bear Lake") in the red deer park near the city of Stuttgart, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany
Some background information:
The red deer park, that is also known as red deer and wild boar park, is located near Solitude Palace west of the city of Stuttgart. It is a nature reserve and hence, a protected territory. Today the red deer park covers an area of 830.5 hectares (8.305 square kilometres resp. 2052.2 acres). It mainly consists of broadleaf woodland that stretches back to include several more than a 400 years old trees. However, the forest is even older and already existed during the Middle Ages, when it was used as a silvopasture by the local farmers.
In the 16th century, the city of Stuttgart suffered from a shortage of water. Hence, in 1566, during the reign of Christoph, Duke of Württemberg, an artificial lake was laid out in the woodland area, the Pfaffensee (in English: "Parson Lake"), which served as a water reservoir for the citizens of Stuttgart. In 1618, after another shortage of water had occurred, a second artificial lake was laid out, the Baerensee (in English: "Bear Lake"). To keep improving the water supply of the city of Stuttgart, three more lakes were laid out in the first half of the 19th century.
Already in the 18th century, the forest was utilised by Charles Eugene, Duke of Wuerttemberg, who built nearby Solitude Palace as his summer residence and hunting retreat. In 1768, a maison de plaisance in the shape of a two-storey oval pavilion, the so-called Baerenschloessle, was planned and erected on the Bear Lake by the French architect Philippe de La Guêpière. The building that was situated just three kilometres (less than two miles) away from Solitude Palace, was designed in the ancient Roman style and built from stone. Venetian gondolas were set out on the lake, which Charles Eugene brought along from his tour of Italy in 1767. At the same time, the area around Bear Lake and the new maison de plaisance was made a fallow deer park. After Charles Eugene had died in 1793, both the maison de plaisance and the gondolas on Bear Lake came to rack.
But in 1815, the park was even more laid out and utilised by King Frederick I of Wuerttemberg, who stocked it with a livestock of 568 red deer and 138 fallow deer. Certainly, from then on, commoners were not allowed to set foot in the forest. Only against the payment of a fee, they got the permission to traverse the area on three designated forest tracks, while the then hunting grounds of the noble authorities were bounded by fences. The fee had to be paid on the tracks at the access to the park.
After Frederick I had died in 1816, his son and successor on the throne of Wuerttemberg, William I, pulled the first Baerenschloessle down in 1817, just to replace it by an even larger octagonal pavilion. The new building was designed in the classical style, including a terrace and a hall that was equipped with hunting trophies and paintings. On its outside, the new Baerenschloessle was originally wainscoted with bark and also decorated with hunting trophies, while zinc glazed bear figures stood on both sides of the pavilion. But Frederick I also enlarged the park and the game reserve.
In 1919, after World War I, the collapse of the German empire and also the collapse of the kingdom of Wuerttemberg, the fence around the deer park was removed and the area was made publicly accessible. In 1937, the pavilion became a guest house of the state and the city of Stuttgart, while the park was again fenced in. In 1939, the red deer park, and in 1958, also the wild boar park were declared nature reserves.
Today the park belongs to the urban district of Stuttgart-West. It is an unfenced publicly accessible and very popular local recreation area for the residents of the city of Stuttgart with an old tree population, several game preserves, playgrounds and barbecue areas. Furthermore, rather rare tree species grow in this woodland area like checker trees and sorb trees. By the way, the Baerenschloessle has become a nice restaurant catering for day-trippers.
Stuttgart is the capital and largest city of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is located on the Neckar river in a fertile valley known locally as the "Stuttgart Cauldron." The city’s urban area has a population of more than 609,000 residents, making it the sixth largest city in Germany. However, 2.7 million people live in the city's administrative region and another 5.3 million people in its metropolitan area, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Germany. Stuttgart is also a transport junction, and possesses the sixth-largest airport in Germany. Several major companies are headquartered in Stuttgart, including Porsche, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler AG and Dinkelacker.
Stuttgart is unusual in the scheme of German cities. It is spread across a variety of hills (some of them covered by vineyards), valleys and parks. Stuttgart’s green and hilly appearance often surprises visitors who usually associate the city with its reputation as the "cradle of the automobile". Due to the many jobs the city has to offer, mainly in the car and car component industry, every third inhabitant of Stuttgart has an immigrant background. Stuttgart is often nicknamed the "Swabian metropolis" in reference to its location in the centre of Swabia and the local dialect spoken by the native Swabians. The city name has its etymological roots in the Old High German word Stuotgarten (in English: "stud farm"), because the town was founded in 950 by Duke Liudolf of Swabia to breed warhorses there.

Agricultural terraces at Machu Picchu, Peru

Finished this a few weeks back, only recently got around to taking photos of it. I wanted to make a distinctively Australian modular and the first thing that came to mind was a Melbourne terrace house. It's my first attempt at a modular standard, although a bit of a cheat as it's a corner building and i didn't include the laneway! Also, terrace houses are rarely double fronted, but they are also typically very deep and i only had 32 studs to create an interior with... eh, it is what it is. :)
Note: Ground floor interiors
Provident Terrace on Hopper Street – part of the 1868-70 phase of development.
These streets tell the story of Wallsend’s own aspirational artisans who spent their earnings in their own cooperative society. They were families who got together and put their dividends and savings towards providing mortgage loans so they could their own homes.

The pool on the Upper Terrace at Mammoth Hot Springs at Yellowstone. Truly a remarkable place and a must see no matter what the weather conditions.
The Lake Mirror Terrace is one of Lakeland, Florida's icons. Located on the edge of downtown, the terrace completely encompasses the small lake, which is a popular destination for walkers. Several notable locations ring the lake, including Hollis Gardens, Lakeland's current Amtrak Station, Lakeland Community Theater, the Magnolia Building, and the wonderful Texas Cattle Company restaurant, a highly rated steakhouse.
The historic Terrace Hotel looms over the center of the picture. The iconic gates shown at left in this picture once guarded an underground tunnel leading directly to the aforementioned hotel.
Lakeland is a small city between the larger urban centers of Tampa and Orlando.
Shrine of Remembrance:The Terrace Courtyard to the south-west recalls Australia’s misadventures in Vietnam in the ’60s and ’70s, in its use of south-east Asian planting. It also features the names of every Victorian town, and embedded into its concrete walls is the pixelated camouflage used today by Australian soldiers (the wars go on).
In architecture and city planning, a terrace or terraced house is a form of medium-density housing that originated in Europe in the 16th century, whereby a row of attached dwellings share side walls.
Terrace housing can be found throughout the world, though it is in abundance in Europe and Latin America, and extensive examples can be found in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia. The Place des Vosges in Paris (1605–1612) is one of the early examples of the style. Sometimes associated with the working class, historical and reproduction terraces have increasingly become part of the process of gentrification in certain inner-city areas.
The first streets of houses with uniform fronts were built by the Huguenot entrepreneur Nicholas Barbon in the rebuilding after the Great Fire of London. It is far from being the case that terraced houses were only built for people of limited means. This is especially true in London, where some of the wealthiest people in the country owned them in locations such as Belgrave Square and Carlton House Terrace.
By the early Victorian period, a terrace had come to designate any style of housing where individual houses repeating one design are joined together into rows. The style was used for workers' housing in industrial districts during the rapid urbanisation following the industrial revolution, particularly in the houses built for workers of the expanding textile industry. The terrace style spread widely across the country, and was the usual form of high-density residential housing up to World War II. The 19th century need for expressive individuality inspired variation of façade details and floor-plans reversed with those of each neighbouring pair, to offer variety within the standardised format.
Since the Second World War, housing redevelopment has led to many outdated or dilapidated terraces being cleared to make room for tower blocks, which occupy a much smaller area of land. Because of this land use in the inner city areas could in theory have been used to create greater accessibility, employment or recreational or leisure centres. However, sub-optimal or flawed implementation has meant that in many areas the tower blocks offered no real improvement for rehoused residents over their prior terraced houses.
Even into the late 1950s the houses seen here did not have bathrooms and had outside toilets.

The Hungduan rice terraces are one of the four clusters that make up the UNESCO World Heritage designation for the Ifugao rice terrace landscapes of Luzon, Philippines. We were lucky to visit Hungduan on the day of a festival where many locals dressed up in traditional clothing.
These rice terraces (The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces in Bali) were a gorgeous sight to see. They are actually protected by UNESCO.

An Arriva Trains Wales Class 150 Sprinter DMU, on the Cardiff to Treherbert service, is seen heading north through the Welsh town of Trehafod in the Rhonnda Valley, with its rows and rows of terraced houses along the valley sides, so typical of many of the former coal mining towns in South Wales. The head frames and mining infrastructure seen to the left of the train are part of the Lewis Merthyr Colliery, a former underground coal mine that ceased operations in 1983 and is now preserved as the Rhondda Heritage Park.

People arrayed on terraces and stairways at the Whitney Museum
This is another of my December 2015 photographs from the New York Whitney Museum, and perhaps yet one example of my idiosyncratic approach to visiting museums. I love visiting museums, especially art museums, and I can easily spend many hours or even a full day wandering around and slowly taking things in. It is enough to drive other people who go there with me crazy! (On this visit, the rest of our group finally gave up, left without me, headed to a nearby tavern, had lunch and drinks, and waited for me to finally show up hours later.)
I love to look at the art, the people, and quite often the architectural spaces as well. This was my first visit to the new Whitney Museum, so there was a lot to see. I started on the top level and explored galleries, but soon was distracted by the outdoor terraces, which extent from each of the floors in delightful and interesting ways. On the top floor narrow terraces project out into space above the Chelsea district. On lower levels the terrace areas become larger, and afford urban landscape views of the surrounding city and back upwards toward the exterior of the museum. When I looked up at this mass of windows, terraces, stairways and more I knew there was a photograph (or several) here, and I spent some time with the subject.

The Lower Terrace, Central Park, New York City, USA
The terrace was one of the very first structures to have been built in Central Park; its construction began in 1859, continued throughout the Civil War, and was completed in 1863. The structure's layout consists of both an upper and a lower terrace, which are connected by two grand staircases and a smaller one leading directly to the Mall.
The entire terrace is constructed primarily of New Brunswick sandstone, paved with Roman brick, and boasts granite steps and landings. While the upper terrace flanks 72nd street and is responsible for the amazing views witnessed by tourists every year, the lower terrace connects to the Mall and features the majestic Bethesda Fountain.
