This is a view on Selogriyo Valley, where the local people mastered the cultivation of many different kinds of plants on their rice terraces. Jamal, our guide, knew amazingly much about the farmers and the plants. He can be found in the picture too.

Bethesda Terrace and Fountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bethesda Terrace and Bethesda Fountain with its Angel of the Waters statue
Bethesda Terrace and Fountain are two architectural features overlooking The Lake in New York City's Central Park. The fountain, with its Angel of the Waters statue, is located in the center of the terrace.
Bethesda Terrace two levels are united by two grand staircases and a lesser one that passes under Terrace Drive. They provide passage southward to the Central Park Mall and Naumburg Bandshell at the center of the park. The upper terrace flanks the 72nd Street Cross Drive and the lower terrace provides a podium for viewing the Lake. The mustard-olive colored carved stone is New Brunswick sandstone, with a harder stone for cappings, with granite steps and landings, and herringbone pattern paving of Roman brick laid on edge.
Lots of lines, which I love. It might be a faux door or even a faux window. I didn't inspect it closely.
In 1862, the Countess of Ripon commissioned Sir George Gilbert Scott to build this church in memory of the first Earl, her husband, on their estate at Nocton, near Lincoln. This was completed in 1863 in an elaborate Early English style in Ancaster stone, with plate tracery and a 130 foot steeple. The builder was Mr W Hudleston. Scott also designed a monument to the Earl in 1859, the effigy by Noble in 1862, executed by Farmer, to go in the completed church.
In the village, Scott designed terraces of partly three storey stone houses (for example, 18-21 Main Road) in an asymmetrical style, a lodge to Nocton Hall, and a Gothic style school. Her son, the new Marquis of Ripon, who became Lord President of the Council during Gladstone’s first administration (1868–73), would have further dealings with Scott.

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.
On our terrace there are some oldfashioned - some might call them retro/vintage - carriage lights and one of them holds a somewhat illegal lightbulb. 100 w uh my gosh! I always argue with my partner, he wants me to throw them away but I hold against it that they still work and I do not want to waste that. One day, when they no longer work, yep - I will exchange them for whatever will be modern and allowed then - but for now, well, just sue me.
Facing Waterloo Place is Clarence Terrace, a shorter and somehow less imposing one although very similar in style. It's also set back behind a carriage drive, but its Greek Doric porches are less deep. The balcony railings are also heavier in style, cast iron rather than wrought. It was designed and built a few years later in 1836 by Joseph Neville. I assume it was named after William IV (1765 –1837) whose title was Duke of Clarence and who built Clarence House in London in the 1820s. He eventually married Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen in 1818, and we have an Adelaide Road nearby.
