When nature conquer rooftop! I love this urban rooftop terrace, a cool place to relax in this world of concrete!
Outstanding in every way, Bethesda Terrace, located mid-Park at 72nd Street, is the artistic culmination of the 1858 “Greensward Plan,” that designers Olmsted and Vaux conceived of for Central Park. This architectural achievement defines the heart of the Park as it seamlessly joins the Mall with a Terrace overlooking the Lake and the wooded Ramble beyond.
It is built of New Brunswick sandstone in a mixture of styles, Romanesque, Gothic and Classical with decorative elements designed by Mould. His amazingly intricate carvings reflect upon nature’s significance, as it features birds and seasonal plants that appear along the stairways and also on the Terrace’s main posts. On the upper Terrace facing the Mall, he represented symbolic carvings of daytime and nightfall including a crowing cock for day and a witch on broom for night. This magnificent split-level Terrace creates a heavenly atmosphere with its upper terrace and grand stairways on either side topped with flower filled stone vases that descend to the grand walkway below. The floor consists of red tile panels bordered with strips of bluish granite, completely installed in 1910.
Many visitors stand on the Upper Terrace and gaze out toward the famous Bethesda Fountain at its center while the Lake and the shoreline of the Ramble are in clear view.
As you descend the stairways, you can sit on stone benches built into the lawn’s Terrace walls and watch the tranquil drama of people rowing, a wedding unfold or visitors taking photos from every conceivable location. One can access the lower level by the stairways, or use one of the four paths that symmetrically surround the area, yet the most traveled walkway is from the Mall.
Beneath the Terrace Bridge and the 72nd St. Drive you will arrive at the seven arches of the Arcade, a columned passageway with walls on either side in blind arcades adorned with trompe l’oeil paintings.
You can see that we are in the beginning of the planting stages. You can also see the size of the stones that we put in place - by hand - yikes!

The Douro would take us to the Spanish border, but from then on the river is not navigable, not for a boat of our size anyway. So we later visited Salamanca by bus. It was noticeable how all the hills in the Douro Valley were terraced, whereas this was not the case on the Spanish side because they simply have more space.

The Terrace Wood incorporates Terrace Walk and Nun's Walk. This is an interesting tract of Ancient Woodland that hugs the road. Diving past in April you will be greeted with a fine display of bluebells. There are some interesting botanical features here. There are a few huge sweet chestnut stumps. My farther was once a game keeper here for Lord Nicholson back in the day, we would go for walks around this place and he would tell me the history of the place. we would park the old Morris Marina van, which had a huge hole in the floor, a fire poker for a gear stick and an upturn bucket for a passenger seat, good old days. I was always amazed at the size of this old tree stumps, and wondered how old the were, my farther told me some men cut them down to count the rings to find out their age but not surprisingly they were hollow in the middle. Looking at them today I would have put them around 250 – 300 years old before they were cut down 60 – 70 years ago, so they could be nearly 400 years old now.

On the 26th July I made my way to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight by coach trip. The day was in the heat wave we had during July 2018 and was very hot and humid. The trip over by Red Funnel Ferries was great, their ferries are very comfortable and much larger than the ones at Lymington, no criticism intended. Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main facade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847. An earlier smaller house on the site was demolished to make way for a new and far larger house, though the original entrance portico survives as the main gateway to the walled garden.
Queen Victoria died at Osborne House in January 1901. Following her death, the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state, with a few rooms being retained as a private museum to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy, known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. In 1998 training programmes consolidated at the Britannia Royal Naval College which is now at Dartmouth, thus vacating Osborne House. The House now under the watchful eye of English Heritage is now open to the public for tours.
In 1903, the new stable block became a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. Initial training began at about the age of 13, and after two years studies were continued at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. The college closed in 1921, with the last students leaving on 9 April 1921. The traditions of Osborne helped inspire the operations of the Nautical College Pangbourne, after its founding in 1917. The NCP has now become Pangbourne College, but its students continue the tradition of wearing naval uniform, and maintaining certain naval traditions.
One of the buildings called Swiss Cottage in the grounds, here you will find inside, the story of the life of a Victorian royal child. Thanks to funding from donors including the Heritage Lottery Fund, vivid new displays, a garden trail and a new play area enable families to experience for themselves how the children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert played and learnt in this unique and special place. Osborne House is famous for its selection of formal gardens containing rare and unusual plants, and there is also plenty of space to run around. Enjoy the formal walled gardens, visit the sheltered the Walled garden, admire the view the Solent from the Palm Terrace or visit the charming gardens which surround the miniature Swiss Chalet. As well as a stunning array of plants, rare red squirrels can be spotted amongst the trees. Gravel, tarmac and concrete provide access for all abilities. Benches and rest points are dotted throughout the grounds.
The organisers of the London Capital & Finance were holding an event day on the 25th and 26th July 2018. This meant many parts of the gardens could not be visited on these two days having been reserved for the visitors to these trials. Osborne Horse Trials hope to attract a new audience to the sport and to the Isle of Wight with this easy to follow two day eventing format. Horses will perform dressage and show jumping on the House lawns, before setting out across the estate parkland. Each phase will finish before the next commences, enabling spectators to see 70% of the action from one spot. Both days will feature two classes at open intermediate level with a Grand Prix class and three further categories tailored to either top level or less experienced horses. Pictures can be taken inside the house but not using flash. However Videos cannot be made while in the house itself.

The Liquin Terrace is the place where the god Phoenix drinks water. According to the records of Zhuangzi * Qiushui, the god Phoenix only lives on the Chinese parasols, only eats nuts and drinks the Liquan water. According to the records of Ruiyingtu, one who often drinks the Liquan water will live longer. The Liquan water comes from the ancient natural spring in the Nanhua Shan, which has been accumulating drop by drop for many years. The water is cool, clean and sweet. Around the pedestal of the Liquan Terrace, the copper-rimmed characters of the 18 deities of the Phoenix are engraved. You will feel the prosperity in your heart when you touch them.
Terrace of a 17th century row house behind Johanniskloster (Monastery of St. John) in the Hanseatic Town of Stralsund, district of Vorpommern-Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), Germany.
The houses behind Johanniskloster (most of them half-timbered) were used as an old people's home in former times. Today they are private homes.
The Franciscan Monastery of St. John was founded in 1254 and was built directly at the town wall in the north of the Old Town. It is a large complex of buildings grouped around two courtyards, decorated with precious medieval murals and vault paintings inside. The monastery church, however, fell to ruin due to a great fire in 1624 and the World War II air raid of 6 October 1944, with only the walls of the choir remaining.
----quotation from en.wikipedia.org:----
The town of Stralsund lies in Northeast Germany in the region of Western Pomerania in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
...
The town lies on the sound of Strelasund, a strait of the Baltic Sea. Its geographic proximity to the island of Rügen, whose only fixed link to the mainland, the Strelasund Crossing, runs between Stralsund and the village of Altefähr, has given Stralsund the sobriquet "Gateway to the Island of Rügen" (Tor zur Insel Rügen). Stralsund lies close to the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park.
A municipal forest and three municipal ponds (the Knieperteich, Frankenteich and Moorteich) belong to the Stralsund's town borough . The three ponds and the Strelasund lend the Old Town, the original settlement site and historic centre of the town, a protected island location.
...
The centre of Stralsund has a wealth of historic buildings. Since 1990, large parts of the historic old town have been renovated with private and public capital, and with the support of foundations. As a result of the contempt for historic buildings in East Germany many houses were threatened by ruin. The Old Town in particular, offers a rich variety of historic buildings, with many former merchants' houses, churches, streets and squares. Of more than 800 listed buildings in Stralsund, more than 500 are designated as individual monuments in the Old Town. In twenty years, from the Wende in 1990 to November 2010, 588 of the more than 1,000 old buildings were completely refurbished, including 363 individual monuments. Because of its historical and architectural significance, in 2002 Stralsund's old town together with the old town of Wismar were added to entitled the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list as the "Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar".

----quotation from whc.unesco.org:----
The medieval towns of Wismar and Stralsund, on the Baltic coast of northern Germany, were major trading centres of the Hanseatic League in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries they became Swedish administrative and defensive centres for the German territories. They contributed to the development of the characteristic building types and techniques of Brick Gothic in the Baltic region, as exemplified in several important brick cathedrals, the Town Hall of Stralsund, and the series of houses for residential, commercial and crafts use, representing its evolution over several centuries.

A wonderful natural travertine terrace along the banks of the Ferris Fork in the back country of Yellowstone National Park.
Ate most of my Wynn meals here. I'd give it the clear edge on value, consistent quality, and atmosphere over the buffet. Shortly after my arrival, I had a bacon-bleu cheese burger here that ranks as one of the finest burgers I've ever eaten, and I was hooked.
For those of a poker bent, while dining outside my first night, I saw Paul "X-22" Magriel pass by with an intent look on his face, then head into the hotel via what looked like a service entrance. Not sure if he was staying here, but I didn't see him at the Wynn poker room when I took a postprandial peek.

Now several days apart from the next road, we still saw farms and grazing land. Buffalos crossed our way, but also light-footed Sherpas. Wearing flip-flops, they jumped from stone to stone, carrying bags bigger than themselves.
'Seven Terraces' my beca driver announced. What is Seven Terraces, I asked him. Old house, Seven Terrace, he replied. And went ahead to park his vehicle. Seven Terraces is actually a boutique hotel in the historic Unesco listed heritage area in Penang, Malaysia. This was actually a row of fire-gutted 19th-century terrace houses behind the landmark Goddess of Mercy Temple. After more than two years of reconstruction, the former eyesores opened as Seven Terraces, a boutique hotel with the relaxed ambience of an island resort. This is a far shot of 7 Terraces hotel.
