Yucca, sand cherry, and lots of tall grasses and perennial flowers make this Greenery terrace garden a welcoming oasis on the 10th floor of a Manhattan building.

I went out this afternoon to draw this long terrace of 20 ordinary family houses. In recent years, half a dozen or so have been converted into student accommodation. The shop at the end used to be Bert Trick's greengrocery. He's famous for having taught Dylan Thomas about politics.
The Banaue Rice Terraces (Tagalog: Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) also called Payew, are 2000-year old terraces that were carved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the indigenous people. The Rice Terraces are commonly referred to by Filipinos as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".[1][2][3] It is commonly thought that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand. The terraces are located approximately 1500 meters (5000 ft) above sea level and cover 10,360 square kilometers (about 4000 square miles) of mountainside. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if the steps are put end to end it would encircle half the globe.[4]
Locals to this day still plant rice and vegetables on the terraces, although more and more younger Ifugaos do not find farming appealing, often opting for the more lucrative hospitality industry generated by the Rice Terraces[citation needed]. The result is the gradual erosion of the characteristic "steps", which need constant reconstruction and care. In 2010 a further problem was drought, with the terraces drying up completely in March of that year.[5]

A further test model of the full relief version of the large terraced houses kit has made it possible to set up a small diorama. With buildings such as these . more seems to be better. This echoes the philosophy behind their design making smaller individual dwellings appear grander than they really were.

2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of Washington New Town. It was officially established on 24 July 1964 and since then the area has witnessed massive changes. Old pit terraces have been replaced with modern housing, thousands of new jobs have been created, great new shopping and leisure facilities have been built and a derelict industrial landscape has been reclaimed and transformed.
To celebrate this anniversary Tyne & Wear Archives has brought together a set of images of Washington as it was 50 years ago. These were commissioned by Washington Development Corporation, which was responsible for planning, designing and building the New Town.
The images are an important reminder of Washington's past. They reflect how much of the town has changed beyond recognition. The town will continue to evolve over the next fifty years and we must make sure that the memories continue to be preserved.

A part of the Lighthouse residences (Danish: Fyrtårnet boliger) with terraces both in the facade and on the roof.
Built: 2007. Architects: Lundgaard & Tranberg.
Been away for awhile but wanted to experiment with Kentmere 400, doing exposure at EI200 with Xtol (alone). Was pretty happy with these results, with present but not overwhelming grain, and good tonality and detail. This is a good combo, I think, and better than exposing at EI400. Thanks top the flickeranians who continue to inspire!

Designed by James Simpson, 1891-3. A Renaissance end terrace townhouse with Greek detailing set on ground falling steeply to the rear with further basement storeys. Corinthian columned bowed bays. Anthemion friezes to bowed bays and 1st floor windows. Doorway to centre with advanced corniced porch supported by Corinthian columns. A building richly detailed on the inside too by Scott Morton and Co. including stained glass by Daniel Cottier, 1893.
James Simpson was an Edinburgh based architect working mainly in Leith, where he was the Burgh Assessor and Town Architect. Learmonth House is probably his most high profile residential work, but he also worked on Leith Town Hall.
The development of Newbold Terrace was so piecemeal during the 19th century that it took until the late 20th for this substantial gap to be filled with these blocks. I've always liked its design and although it makes few concessions to its Regency or Victorian neighbours, it seems to me to work. 'Regency' or 'Regent' are regular names for any new buildings in Leamington, and some estate agents really struggle, describing anything that has white stucco as 'Regency' even when it's obviously 20th century, and 'Regency style' sometimes for the genuine article. At the far end you can see Royal Terrace, a particularly fine terrace that was carefully restored in 2011.
This is the residence of the Iowa Governor, and also a national historic landmark. There's some chromatic aberration in the upper branches that I was unable to completely remove. I've seen this with this lens from time to time in high contrast areas, but usually I can get rid of it in post. Tamron Adaptall 01A.
