Water buffalo and oxen are now rarely seen in Taiwan plowing rice fields. An article in the March 06, 2017 Taipei Times said that there were about 99 water buffaloes in use in Taiwan in 2015. (www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2017/03/06/20036...) Now, big tractors are commonly seen in the fields of Taiwan. This ox was plowing a rice field near Shueilin Township in Yunlin County, Taiwan.

Rain clouds gather over the historic village of Shirakawa-go, a village in the Japanese Alps that's known for its traditional gassho-style houses.
Dressed in their lovely traditional costumes, these five delightful young ladies had been entertaining us with traditional dancing. We had only just arrived in Luang Prabang,Laos, when we were taken to an ancient wooden house. There we had a splendid meal, then a Buddhist welcome ceremony followed by these ladies dancing. It was truly a magical night to remember in this wonderful city of many Buddhist temples. Unfortunately the light here was very dim so I struggled to get decent images.

There are multiple definitions for when a boat becomes a ship, including size, purpose, and other characteristics:
Size: Some say a ship is a vessel that's at least 197 feet (60 meters) long. Others say a ship is a large, ocean-faring vessel.
Purpose: A ship is a versatile vessel that can be used for commercial, military, or scientific purposes. A boat is often used for leisure activities.
Masts: A sailing ship may be defined as having at least three masts.
Deck: A ship may have a through-fitted deck, while a boat may have an open cockpit.
Weight: A ship may weigh at least 500 tonnes.
Crew: A ship may have a commander and a crew, while a boat may just have whomever is on it at the time.
Personal use: A vessel may be considered a yacht if it was constructed solely for personal use and has a combined occupancy of less than 100, including crew.
Submarines are technically ships, but they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate.
Ayamonte, Andalusia
Correct me if you have any knowledge about the Algarve and Andalusia architecture but I think this type of tiles and the tradition of decorating houses with ceramic tiles is mostly common for the south of Portugal, not really characteristic for Andalusia?
Ayamonte is a bordering town with Portugal, by River Guadiana, so it's possible that some traditions of architecture mix, even though the differences can be seen with the unaided eye.

LELUTKA - EBODY - TRADITIONAL FACE -
Along the streets of Kyoto there are many street food shops where you can eat traditional Japanese sweets.
In this shop two young students were buying dango.
Negozio di dolci tradizionali
Camminavo perso tra le vecchie botteghe di Kyoto, come un bambino che viene finalmente portato alle giostre ed avevo perso ogni contatto con la realtà.
Quando qualcosa vi sembra troppo bello, si perde quella capacità di assimilarlo razionalmente, tanto che molte cose appaiono sfocate e confuse.
Ma una scena appariva nitida tra tutte le altre, una scena a cui no avrei potuto dare una collocazione storica temporale, per la mancanza di punti di riferimento.
Un negozio di dolci tradizionali che a parte la plastica delle vaschette che contenevano i dolci, sarebbe potuto tranquillamente venire fuori dal passato.
Mentre osservavo le insegne scritte a mano ed il legno levigato da chissà quanti anni di utilizzo, due studenti sono spuntate dal nulla, ed anno comprato dei dango.
Erano vestite con l’uniforme scolastica ed erano giovanissime, ma prima di andare o tornare da scuola si erano fermate a prendere il loro dolce preferito.
Appena un attimo dopo è arrivato un anziano signore, con la sua bici di metallo argentato scintillante, non ha nemmeno notato le giovani studenti ormai al lato del negozio, ma si è subito perso con lo sguardo nel bancone tra i dolci.
Dopo aver chiacchierato con il venditore, ha scelto una confezione di dango da portar via.
Questa scena mi è rimasta così impressa che è stata una fortuna fotografarla e portarla con me tra i miei ricordi.
L’anziano signore venuto da un passato lontano, le giovani ragazze proiettate in un futuro ancora incerto ed il negozio di dolci tradizionali a fare da collegamento tra quello che è stato e dovrà essere, senza mai dimenticare i dango.
Just seven and half kilometers south of Fira, a different side of Santorini emerges, an aspect that harkens back to the picturesque Greek villages of yesteryear. Here, the pace of life is more relaxed; cats stroll in the alleys, families dress up in their Sunday best to go to church, and piano lessons can be heard through the open windows of the cultural society. The main square, with its tall pine trees and quaint little coffee shops, is the focal point for socializing and entertainment. Regardless of the season, its busiest time is noon, when people gather for ouzo or Santorinian beer accompanied by excellent local meze.
This is Pyrgos, the largest preserved village on Santorini and the island’s former capital. Strategically built in the heart of the pre-volcanic hinterland and at the foot of Mt Profitis Ilias, Pyrgos affords panoramic views. Yet, located that bit further from the famous caldera, it has been spared the terraces, balconies, infinity pools and master suites that adorn the glossy covers of tourist magazines the world over. Pyrgos is not swamped by sunset spotters, nor is it the first choice among the hordes of cruise-ship passengers. Its charm is different: more subdued, less picture-perfect, little advertised.
Ask the locals what the difference is between Pyrgos and the rest of the island in terms of social profile, and you’ll get conflicting answers. For some, it’s that the villagers are more cultivated and more united among themselves, while for others, it’s that its location has kept the village relatively untouched – at least for now – by the tourist industry that is flourishing on the island.
It is a fact, however, that on Palm Sunday, as I was going up to the top of the medieval Kasteli (castle), I was overcome with emotion. The historic Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary (1660), one of Santorini’s largest and most important places of worship, was welcoming the faithful for the first time after a lengthy restoration: its masterful pulpit and intricate woodcarved altarpiece have been fully restored after centuries of wear and tear.
If you feel inclined to visit Pyrgos, get your climbing shoes on. This is the only way to explore the Pyrgos Kasteli, the best preserved of the five Venetian castles that once adorned the island. Don’t worry about getting lost; just head uphill from the main square and you’ll find it, a fortress hamlet that started life as a monastery and grew in size after the arrival of the Venetians at the beginning of the 13th century.
Αν και πολλοί γνωρίζουν τη Σαντορίνη για το ηφαιστειακό τοπίο της, τα λευκά σπίτια της, το συναρπαστικό ηλιοβασίλεμα της Οίας και τη διάσημη Καλντέρα, ωστόσο οι ομορφιές του νησιού δεν εξαντλούνται εκεί…
Το νησί έχει πολλούς οικισμούς και χωριά το ένα καλύτερο από το άλλο. Ένα από αυτά τα χωριά ο Πύργος που βρίσκεται σε απόσταση περίπου 10 χιλιομέτρων από τα Φηρά, είναι ίσως το ομορφότερο χωριό του νησιού. Ο Πύργος, η παλιά -έως το 1800- πρωτεύουσα του νησιού βρίσκεται στην ενδοχώρα, στο ψηλότερο σημείο της Σαντορίνης, στον Προφήτη Ηλία.
Στο κέντρο του Πύργου βρίσκεται το μεσαιωνικό κάστρο με τα σπίτια αμφιθεατρικά χτισμένα γύρω του. Συνδυάζει τα χαρακτηριστικά της εποχής της ενετοκρατίας, με διάσπαρτες εκκλησίες, αρχοντικά αλλά και χωριατόσπιτα κι έχει χαρακτηριστεί διατηρητέο μνημείο. Το μοναστήρι του Προφήτη Ηλία είναι μια από τις παλαιότερες εκκλησίες της Σαντορίνης και η ανοικοδόμησή του τοποθετείται χρονικά στον 10ο αιώνα.
Όλο το χωριό είναι μια πρόκληση για τον επισκέπτη, που έχει την ευκαιρία να ανέβει στο κάστρο, να περιηγηθεί στα σοκάκια με το ξεχωριστό «χρώμα» και να απολαύσει το περίφημο σαντορινιό ηλιοβασίλεμα, κι ας μην είναι στην Οία… Το σίγουρο είναι πως αν επισκεφτείτε τη Σαντορίνη μέσα στα πολλά που πρέπει να δείτε και να κάνετε μην αμελήσετε να βάλετε στο πρόγραμμά σας μια επίσκεψη στον Πύργο! Θα σας μαγέψει…
Και κάποιες δικές μου πληροφορίες ...
Την πρώτη φορά που επισκέφτηκα αυτό το χωριό πριν τέσσερα χρόνια νόμισα ότι το εξερεύνησα καλά, αλλά στην πρόσφατη επίσκεψη μου ξανά πρόσφατα, κατάλαβα ποσο λάθος είχα κάνει και ποσό <<τουριστική>> ήταν εκείνη η πρώτη ματιά, άσχετα αν εγώ πίστευα τότε το αντίθετο.
Το χωριό θέλει και προσφέρει καλή εξερευνηση, Ανεβείτε προς την κορυφή και ακόμα και αν σας δώσει την εντύπωση ότι μέχρι εκεί ήταν..απλά συνεχίστε και θα σας αποκαλύψει πολλά πράγματα. Βέβαια αυτό θα το κάνετε και κατα μήκος του χωριού. Πέρα από τα πολλά γραφικά σημεία το χωριό προσφέρει εξαιρετικές αρχιτεκτονικές λεπτομέρειες. Προσωπικά πιστεύω ότι μια επίσκεψη δεν είναι αρκετή, αν όμως δεν έχετε άλλο χρόνο προτιμήστε απογευματινή ώρα μιας και πιστεύω ότι το φως λειτουργεί καλύτερα τότε.

The traditional canal boat "Gdansk" has just entered the short Ripon canal from the River Ure. There are three locks on the way to the end of the canal
The Ripon Canal is located in North Yorkshire, England. It was built by the canal engineer William Jessop to link the city of Ripon with the navigable section of the River Ure at Oxclose lock, from where boats could reach York and Hull. It opened in 1773, and was a moderate success. It was sold to the Leeds and Thirsk Railway in 1847, and was effectively closed by 1906, due to neglect. It was not nationalised with most canals and railways in 1948, and was abandoned in 1956 (Wiki)
The traditional dance repertoire or Margam commences with a flower offering: "Pusha-Anjali" or Pushpanjali in praise of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and followed by the customary Bhoomi Pranam or salutations to Mother Earth beseeching for forgiveness and blessings.
