Terrace seats? It's not that stylish. It's just a man drinking alone at the storefront. This is also a preventive measure.

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.
a bit of a fuller more sweeping view of the terraces at Linderhof Palace in Bavaria... I was about mid level here I believe...very green with all plants life just coming alive in early May...you can see where I took the previous image just about lower middle ...I could have looked at this scene for eons..and never tired of it...but we were off to more beauty and the Bavarian countryside was beckoning to us and heading to explore the WEISS CHURCH or in German known as the" Weiskirche"...not far away..Church in the meadow...
Done for the Tuesday/Thursday Things group.

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.
Construit au cœur du plus grand parc forestier clos d’Europe (environ 50 km2 ceint par un mur de 32 km de long), il s'agit du plus vaste des châteaux de la Loire. Il bénéficie d'un jardin d'agrément et d'un parc de chasse classés monuments historiques. Chambord est le seul domaine royal encore intact depuis sa création.
Un palais surgit au cœur des terres marécageuses de Sologne. François Ier, tout jeune roi, en ordonne la construction. Le château de Chambord n’est pas conçu pour être une résidence permanente, François Ier n’y passe que quelques semaines. C’est une véritable œuvre architecturale que le roi se plaît à montrer à des souverains et ambassadeurs comme un symbole de son pouvoir inscrit dans la pierre. Le plan du château et ses décors ont été conçus autour d’un axe central : le fameux escalier à doubles révolutions, inspiré par Léonard de Vinci, spirale ascendante qui mène au foisonnement des cheminées et chapiteaux sculptés, sur les terrasses.
Built in the heart of the largest closed forest park in Europe (approximately 50 km2 surrounded by a wall of 32 km long), it is the largest castle in the Loire. It benefits from a pleasure garden and a hunting park classified historical monuments. Chambord is the only royal estate still intact since its creation.
A palace emerges in the heart of the marshlands of Sologne. Francis I, a young king, ordered the construction. Chambord Castle is not designed to be a permanent residence, François I spent only a few weeks there. It is a true architectural work that the king likes to show to sovereigns and ambassadors as a symbol of his power inscribed in the stone. The plan of the castle and its decorations were conceived around a central axis: the famous staircase with double revolutions, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, ascending spiral which leads to the proliferation of the chimneys and carved capitals, on the terraces.
