Pyrohiv, also known as Pirogov, originally a village south of Kiev, is a neighborhood in the southern outskirts of the Ukrainian capital city. It is now home to an outdoor Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine.
The most talented military leader that Tennessee, and perhaps the United States, ever produced was General Nathan Bedford Forrest of the Confederate Army. Born in Bedford (now Marshall) County, Tennessee in 1821, Forrest's only military experience prior to 1861 was an abortive attempt to join the army of the Republic of Texas when he was 20 years old. During the period from 1841 to 1861 Forrest settled in the Memphis area and became a prominent & wealthy citizen, businessman, and planter, amassing a substantial fortune dealing in livestock & cotton. In 1861 Forrest, at 40 years of age, joined Captain Josiah White's Tennessee Mounted Rifles as a private. However, his status in civilian life dictated that he be given a command of his own. In a few weeks he received a commission as a lieutenant colonel and was authorized to raise his own company. Over the next four years Forrest acquired a reputation of invincibility among both his own men and the enemy. Though often misused & mistrusted by the professional soldiers of the Confederate high command for the strong streak of insubordination that Forrest often evinced, he always enjoyed the respect & begrudging admiration of his opponents. This was perhaps best illustrated by the affectionate nickname "that Devil Forrest" frequently applied to him by General Sherman. As Sherman himself elaborated:
"He had never read a military book in his life, knew nothing about tactics, could not even drill a company, but he had a genius for strategy which was original and, to me, incomprehensible. There was no theory or art of war by which I could calculate with any degree of certainty what Forrest was up to. He always seemed to know what I was doing or intended to do."
Of Forrest's younger years, only the barest outlines and several anecdotes are known. His grandfather, Nathan Forrest, settled in what became Marshall County in 1808 when William Forrest was ten years old. William Forrest married in 1820 and Nathan Bedford Forrest, named for his grandfather, was his first born child. The house in which General Forrest was born, according to a source interviewed in the 19th century by one of Forrest's first biographers, was torn down. In 1830 William Forrest acquired a tract of land from a Mr. W.S. Mayfield. The log and frame structure which still stands on this property is the only home still existing associated with Forrest. It was young Forrest's home for three years. In 1833 William Forrest sold the property and moved his family to Mississippi.
The photograph above shows the entrance to the property with large stone plaques on each side that read:
"Boyhood Home of Nathan Bedford Forrest - Lieutenant General Confederate States of America" -- left side
"He rode from here into the legend of the land."
Quotation from Jack Knox, Editorial Cartoonist at the Nashville Banner, who was an artist, horseman, & Forrest admirer -- right side
At the end of the just over two thousand foot gravel road is an excellent representation of a mid-nineteenth century rural Tennessee or Southern farmstead with amazingly little or no intrusion from the twenty-first century such as electricity or running water. And, for its historical connection to Forrest, the highly representative example of folk architecture of this particular time period and place in Tennessee history that the property is, and its wonderful preservation, this site was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 13, 1977. The information above, and more, was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

This beautiful wood house in Switzerland is made even more attractive with the warm light of the sun enhancing its tawny tones. Ornamental details both carved and painted are a beautiful contrast to the rustic wood sideboards. Text which begins,"I lift my eyes towards the mountains", is engraved on the face of the building.

Two preserved wooden haylofts of the once uncountable architectural works distributed along the whole Velka Fatra Mts. (let alone the whole Carpathians). Now as the way of living has changed dramatically, if lucky, such buildings serve mostly as a place for a tourist bivac. These particular haylofts above the village Hubová and under the mountain Kútnikov kopec were saved by volunteers in 1987, and repeatedly repaired 30 years later. In such a scenery, you feel the sense of remoteness not only in place but also in time.
It was taken in 2006, in a skanzen* in Hungary.

The soul of towns resides in their main squares, and Chinchón’s beats vividly among green-painted wood, long balconies, and old lanterns.
This photo captures one of the most iconic façades of its Plaza Mayor, with wooden galleries that have preserved the essence of centuries past.
Today, just like in olden times, these balconies serve as privileged balconies to life itself: shared meals, festivities, markets, or simply the passing of time.
The small Christmas detail on the railing reminds us that even in the most historic places, life is still adorned with little touches.
A gem of Castilian folk architecture, alive and vibrant, where each beam seems to whisper its own story.
Greece, Cyclads, Tinos, Kato meri district, Mouatain slope, Peristerione (dove cot). (uncut)
One of the very many peristeriones (dovecots) on the island. They're two storied, the dimension and colour are typical Cycladic and the ornamentation rich - sometimes they're refered to as "embroideries in stone".
Most of the 600 edifices were built in the 18th and 19th century. Their design is folk architecture (so no architects but artisans were at play here) - ethnographic significant as folk art, the geometric ornamentations can also be found on other cultural artefacts on the islands of Tinos and Andros.
The doves were kept for their fertilizing dung and their meat but nowadays very few dovecots are still in operation.
More infrmation about the dove cots is here.

Salda's Farmhouse in Jilemnice (Šaldův statek, Jilemnice, č.p. 121) was established before 1732. The wooden house on the picture was probably built at the end of the 18th century. In the 1990s the whole structure was disassembled, restored and built again 30 metres closer to the Zvedava Street. The house was declared a cultural heritage in 1958 an now there is a restaurant in it.

There are countless old, decaying houses in this small village. The red paint on the wall was quite unusual, rarely seen.

Skanzen at Szentendre, a Greek catholic church made entirely of wood...
I met a ice man here, the guide of this place, we chatted lengthily. Geez, he has a dream job: sitting here, in this little grove, listening to birds chirping, and enthusing about this little gem to the seldom visitors. The chapel stands on top of a hill, in a secluded corner of this skanzen, it has a very special atmosphere...
The texture I used here is Feathered Gold from pareeerica

We visited this little village called Böde, where this old temple can be found, built around 1220 AD. It had been rebuilt for a few times, as centuries and wars swept over the land, but it still maintains most of its original proportions and elements. In those medieval days these churches served as shelters for the people in war times, thus the thick walls and the narrow windows. There are still many little chapels like this in Hungary...

The Paul and Fredriika Geranen Farm near Frederick was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in February 1985 as part of the Architecture of Finnish Settlement thematic record.
Born in Poulanga, Oulu Province, Finland, Paul Geranen came to the United States in 1877 with his wife, Fredriiki Lippo who was born at Utajarvi in Oulu Province.
They went first to work in copper mines in Michigan and later decided to homestead in South Dakota.
The Geranens were members of the original Savo settlement in South Dakota, where Paul opened a store in 1902. The family filed a homestead claim on a different property nearby, then eventually moved here in 1893. They built or moved in the "old house." In 1906, Paul and Frederiika moved to Bryant, and in 1907 to open a general merchandise store in Lake Norden. They rented this farmstead to their son. The "new house" and a new frame sauna building were built in 1916. The previous sauna was an earthen structure. The big barn likely dates to the c.1900-1915 period. The listed property also included garages, granaries, chicken coop, pump, and shed. Paul and Frederiika were eventually buried in Savo Cemetery.
