The Balinese rice terraces go back over 2,000 years when hard-working farmers with primitive hand tools began carving the stepped terraces out of steep hill sides.
Temple Terrace is a small city pressed right up against northeastern Tampa. While once a small town in its own right, it is more or less a bedroom community for Tampa. Despite Hillsborough County's large population, there are only three incorporated areas. You'd think that there'd be more, since there are some really distinct parts of the county. Oh well.

This is the view of our terrace in Madrid. Not big, but enough to enjoy a little bit the warm nights in summer and nice spring lunch
These beautiful terraces are located on Royal Parade in the Melbourne suburb of Parkville. Once private residences, they now serve as the Jesuit Theological College.

One of many streets that runs off Park Road North in Birkenhead. You may just be able to notice a block of flats which adds more contrast to the scene.
From the Menu del Dia - squid in black rice. Nummers! Not bad, actually, but the vat o' beer helps....

14-17 Wenlock Terrace, York, 1882-83.
This terrace of four houses on the north side of Wenlock Terrace and the twelve identical houses on the south side were built speculatively in the late 19th century to appeal both to the high-ranking officers of the nearby military barracks and the higher social strata of the city’s populace. These are very large houses, attractively and individually detailed and unique to York.
Unique to York yet, alas, unlisted.
The short block of four houses on the north side of Wenlock Terrace is particularly significant in military history as being a Soldiers Home during the First and Second World Wars. The
home founded by Miss Mabel Campbell-Walker, referred to as the ‘Florence Nightingale of the Twentieth Century’, who ran it with a band of volunteers as a rest home where soldiers could find shelter, entertainment and religious guidance, and to accommodate the relatives of patients in the adjoining military hospital.
From the top of the Incan farming terrace, Craig and Molly enjoy the view while I take the reaction shot.
I could have used this as the "Origin of Nebraska" picture, only this is Iowa, and I've already done Iowa.
Here's one more view of that brief gap of soft white light illuminating the fields of Iowa not far from the Nebraska border. Oddly, the light here sort of made me think of a GE light bulb commercial when I was a kid that featured somebody painting pictures of women while Pachelbel's Canon played in the background. (It's the modern world where at least for the moment almost everything is preserved on the internet, so you can watch that commercial here.) I always loved Pachelbel's Canon, even though I still tend to associate it with GE light bulbs. Such is the power of marketing.
That does it for the Arizona trip. Finally. Now I guess I have to go take pictures of stuff.
Terrace of the Elephants
The Terrace of the Elephants is part of the walled city of Angkor Thom, a ruined temple complex in Cambodia. The terrace was used by Angkor's king Jayavarman VII as a platform from which to view his victorious returning army. It was attached to the palace of Phimeanakas, of which only a few ruins remain. Most of the original structure was made of organic material and has long since disappeared. Most of what remains are the foundation platforms of the complex. The terrace is named for the carvings of elephants on its eastern face.
The 350m-long Terrace of Elephants was used as a giant reviewing stand for public ceremonies and served as a base for the king's grand audience hall. It has five outworks extending towards the Central Square-three in the centre and one at each end. The middle section of the retaining wall is decorated with life size garuda and lions; towards either end are the two parts of the famous parade of elephants complete with their Khmer mahouts.
Strolling along the shops and through the richly coloured parks, warming up in a coffee place, watching the students pass by, booking a hotel for a quiet night: that’s an autumn weekend in Ghent in a nutshell.

Located in the East Hollywood Hills, this 1923 Beaux Arts Estate takes you back to the glamour days of a bygone era. The local residents refer to this luxury vacation rental home as the Valentino Estate because of the prominent Rudolph Valentino style. Upon entering the gated and very private estate, looking up to the chic-white palace of this 3 bedroom, 4 bath home will delight any discerning guest.

Albert Terrace is one of the oldest streets in Saltaire and still retains its original setts (cobbles). Some of the houses along here are three storeys high and were originally intended as shared lodgings for young single workers, but they apparently preferred lodging with families so, before long, these too became family homes. Overlooking the railway, church and open countryside, they have a very pleasant aspect.
Saltaire is a Victorian model village. The Victorian era Salt's Mill and associated residential district located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Saltaire was built in 1851 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname and the name of the river.
