Several thousand pounds of calcium carbonate, carried in solution from the hot springs that bubble up through thick limestone, are deposited onto the enormous terraces each day. As the terrace complex spreads and grows, surrounding vegetation is overtaken. In this photo dead trees are seen embedded in calcium carbonate,

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.

(Zooming in will be a good idea on this one as you can see the height of these buildings more clearly)

The view from the terrace at House of Dun - from where you can see over the Montrose Basin to the Angus hills beyond. This Georgian mansion, now owned by the National Trust for Scotland, was designed by William Adam and built in 1743. I love its walled garden and woodland walks - which are perfect for seeing carpets of snowdrops and then bluebells through the seasons,
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.

These old terrace houses were built in the late 19th century. They still function today as city apartments. The spectacular feature is their old wrought iron balustrades.
The Bear River near Grace, Idaho cuts through a lava flow, creating steep black walls called Black Canyon. As it exits the steepest part of the canyon the river flows over dozens of beautiful terraces. It is a great place to fish but there are lots of deep crevices that make wading hazardous. An old foot bridge is a convenient place to cross, and part of the lava flow is visible behind the bridge.

Villa Terrace is a historic house in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was built in 1924 for the Lloyd R. Smith family - an Italian Renaissance-style home on a bluff above Lake Michigan. Since 1966 the house and grounds have housed the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Lloyd R. Smith House. [Wikipedia]
Passing through the residential district of Northwich, Freightliner Shed 66616 has a sizeable load in tow with its 2,400t train of limestone aggregate quarried in Derbyshire. The working is the 9.56am from Tunstead which is headed for Garston on Merseyside (6F70).
The terraces on the left stand on Greenall Road, once a prime spot for watching the trains go by but now partly obscured by vegetation. The houses on the right stand on Alan Street and in fact it's the back of them you can see, hence the occasional garden shed! Hidden by the bushes is the single track east curve of the triangle carrying the line to Middlewich and Sandbach - still regularly used by freight as well as a diversionary route for passenger traffic when the West Coast Mainline is closed between Crewe and Hartford.
I took this shot with a pano in mind, so centred the train in the middle of the frame (vertically) to get the best lens performance. The occasional white streaks here and there are rain-drops.

Little Gord finds himself a terrace near the top away from the herd enjoying his favorite grass dish. I'm sure they all started together but by the time I arrived each mountain goat took separate routes among the rocks so I had the choice of about 7-8 backdrops for my shots. This little guy who I believe is Gord's grandson always strikes me as worth the extra effort for good shots. He's very cute. I did get plenty of hind shots of the rest of herd however as consolation prizes.

If you ever find yourself in the central part of the island of Bali, you need to visit the Ceking Rice Terraces. The terraced rice fields in Bali are beautiful in their own unique way. While the rice terraces in China or Vietnam are amazing for their size, symmetry and geometry, the terraces in Bali are not as expansive, and are often steeply cut into the hillside and surrounded by jungle vegetation. They have a more primeval feel if you will. Here a Balinese woman in her kebaya and sarong carries an offering for the gods on her head. Everything in her offering basket is real by the way - real fruits and flowers are skewered onto a chunk of banana tree trunk in the center of the display.
