Located at the gardens of Tokyo National Museum this house dates (according to the museum) to 1742 when it was built as what is called a shoin (書院) in Japanese.
A shoin is, historically speaking, a hall and a place for sūtra studies at a temple - and this building began its history as a shoin at the Myogen'in Buddhist temple, in Oharucho, Aichi prefecture, so it was probably meant just for that. (Today the word shoin rather means a drawing room or study, but those words ill captures the nature of such a big hall as this.) The house is 15 metres long and 9 metres deep, consists of just two room and a surrounding corridor.
The museum acquired the building in 1933.

Panorama of Hamnoy with its majestic peaks of the Lofoten Wall, the fjord, the swerving bridge towards Sakrisoy and Reine and Eliassen Rorbuer sheltered by the mightiest peak, where we had established our HQ for our second Lofoten excursion :)
After an entire night of fighting elements and howling storm we woke up to a tranquil, white winter morning at Ballstad, ready to start our exploration :)

abandoned traditional stone cottage in the Scottish Caingorms. Its location, the way its natural construction materials merge back into the landscape they were taken from and its beautiful way of decaying really touched me and madem me think of how we have become so detached of the landscapes we live in, building with materials which are universal and characterless, losing local flair and culture.
the amazing location and landscape of Reine on Moskenes island, Lofoten archipelago are already well known. But sometimes one simply gets lucky during the short period visiting there and the clouds decide to pull all the strings putting a celestial alegretto vivace on display :)).
(This is a long exposure with two HD filters on top of each other (0.8 + 0.6) in order to manage the strong day light ...)
Lofoten worlds where houses often are just a stone throw apart yet divided by a waterway - be it fjord or sea strait.
Interesting are also the distinct and different weathermoods which may occur all together.
Derneburg/Lowersaxony GER
Rund um das Schloss Derneburg ist der kulturhistorische Rundwanderweg, der "Laves-Kulturpfad" entstanden, auf dem neben verwunschener Natur so interessante Bauten wie ein Pyramidenmausoleum und ein griechischer Tempel zu besichtigen sind. Das ehemalige Kloster Derneburg wurde in Folge der Anbindung des Fürstentums Hildesheim an das neue Königreich Hannover 1814 dem Grafen Ernst zu Münster vom englischen und hannoverschen König geschenkt. Der Graf gestaltete zusammen mit seinem Baumeister Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves rund um das Schloss einen englischen Landschaftsgarten, dessen reizvolle Reste heute viele Besucher nach Derneburg ziehen. In dem ehemaligen Gewächshaus der Schlossgärtnerei ist ein Ausflugscafé und eine Kulturzentrum untergebracht.

Bidermatten is a typical hamlet in the Saas Valley, between Saas-Grund and Saas-Balen, Valais, Switzerland. Some houses show elements of traditional Walser architecture.

A detail of the facade of a dual-use building in a small town, the ground floor occupied by small, local businesses and the upper floor mostly by apartments. The store at left is a children's art studio; that at the far right sells inkjet refills.

typical fishermen huts (rorbue) in that wonderful Norwegian Red at the village of Å, Lofoten island of Moskenes. Perched against the ragged basalt rock mountains, their stilts preventing them from flooding since their fjords and bays are tidal of course.
a land-locked lake to add to the countless water features on the Lofoten islands. Its perfectly calm waters create reflections that will test any observer's sense of reality :)

Goslar/Harz
The Imperial Palace of Goslar (German: Kaiserpfalz Goslar) is a historical building complex at the foot of the Rammelsberg hill in the south of the town of Goslar north of the Harz mountains, central Germany. It covers an area of about 340 by 180 metres. The palace grounds originally included the Kaiserhaus, the old collegiate church of St. Simon and St. Jude, the palace chapel of St. Ulrich and the Church of Our Lady (Liebfrauenkirche). The Kaiserhaus, which has been extensively restored in the late 19th century, was a favourite imperial residence, especially for the Salian emperors.
Τον τελευταίο καιρό η Σαντορίνη,η Αμοργός και όλες οι Κυκλάδες ταλαιπωρούνται από χιλιάδες σεισμικές δονήσεις. Το ηφαίστειο και τα τεκτονικά ρήγματα της περιοχής αυξάνουν την ανησυχία.10.000 κάτοικοι έχουν ήδη εγκαταλείψει τα σπίτια τους. Οι γνώμες των επιστημόνων διΐστανται για την έκβαση των φαινομένων. Ας προσευχηθούμε ο Θεός να μην επιτρέψει καταστροφές.
Lately, Santorini, Amorgos and all the Cyclades have been suffering from thousands of earthquakes. The volcano and the tectonic faults in the area are increasing the concern. 10,000 residents have already abandoned their homes. The opinions of scientists are divided on the outcome of the phenomena. Let us pray that God will not allow disasters.

Little Tiendweg Mill is the most easter lower mill. This hollow post mill has been present since 1751. In 1951, the mill lost its function in draining the Streefkerk polder. The mill was then rented out for a time. Due to a lack of maintenance, its condition deteriorated. Along with the other dilapidated mills in the Streefkerk polder, it was threatened with demolition. In 1957, the SIMAV was founded, which purchased the five mills for preservation. The Kleine Tiendwegmolen was renovated in 1977, after which it became operational again. The last renovation, including that of the waterways, took place in 2010-2011.
The SIMAV windmill foundation owns 33 windmills in the Alblasserwaard and Vijfheerenlanden region. The Alblasserwaard and Vijfheerenlanden area is located in the southeastern part of South Holland. The area is primarily a peat meadow area and is bordered by the Lek River to the north, the Diefdijk (part of the Dutch Waterline) and the Linge River to the east, the Merwede River to the south, and the Noord River to the west.

Taman Ayung, meaning "beautiful garden", is the second-largest temple in Bali. It is a World Heritage Site as one of the five sites defined by UNESCO in the Subak cultural landscape of Bali. Taman Ayun Temple is unique, both in aesthetics and as an essential part of the local irrigation system, or subak.
The tall, multi-tiered shrines with black thatched roofs are called Meru. They are built in odd-numbered tiers (3, 5, 7, 9, or 11), symbolizing the sacred Mount Meru in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. These shrines honor different gods and ancestral spirits. Balinese temples, known as pura, are not only places of worship but also vital cultural centers. The layout often follows mandala principles, with inner and outer sanctums. Rituals, offerings (canang sari), and temple festivals are central to Balinese Hinduism, which blends indigenous animism with Indian Hindu influences.
A traditional Viking style house alone in the middle of the icy wilderness of the mountaineous area around one of the Westfjords. The epitome of solitude and perseverance I'd say

Βρίσκεται 1,6 χλμ. περίπου δυτικά της Πύλης και δίπλα στον αμαξητό δρόμο Πύλης-Ελάτης. Ενώνει τα βουνά Ίταμος και Κόζιακας. Απέχει από τα Τρίκαλα 20 χλμ. και μέχρι το 1936 ήταν ο μοναδικός συνδετικός κρίκος του Τρικαλινού κάμπου με τα χωριά της περιοχής Ασπροποτάμου.
Το γεφύρι είναι μονότοξο, ημικυκλικής μορφής.
