Noudar Natural Park is located in a farm estate called Herdade da Coitadinha, between the rivers Ardila and Múrtega, in southern Alentejo (Portugal) .
The pastures surrounding the area, holm oak and olive groves, grazing cows and herds of black pigs are all common to neighbouring farms in this region. But here, a more abrupt and rocky relief has protected dense enclaves of holm oaks and forest where light penetrates with difficulty.
In Noudar, life presents itself in a state of wilderness and absolute purity.
Apart from its beauty, the place, being remote and exempt from any light pollution, is excellent for astrophotography (the best where I’ve ever been).
The Castle of Noudar dates from the early 14th century (finished in 1307), when it took an important role for border defense against the kingdom of Castile (now part of Spain).

Located in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, this river has a particular beauty, its waters are not transparent, it has a brownish color, and I think that's why it is even more beautiful. This photo was taken from an iPhone X on a trip I took in 2018. For tourists (like me), it's very worthwhile to take the boat trip to navigate this river, and visit the islands and fishing village that are in the path. I found this house in the woods of a small island within this river interesting.

Localizado em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, este rio, tem uma beleza particular, suas águas não são transparentes, tem uma cor amarronzada, e acho que por isso fica mais bonito ainda. Esta foto foi feita a partir de um iPhone X em uma viagem que fiz em 2018. Para turistas (como eu), vale muito a pena fazer o passeio de barco para navegar sobre este rio, e conhecer ilhas e vila de pescadores que tem no trajeto. Achei interessante esta casa dentro da mata de uma pequena ilha dentro deste rio.
Palazzo Mincuzzi located on one of the main streets of Bari and it is owned by the merchant family, the Mincuzzi who inaugurated their studio in 1928.
Located in the Napoleonic quarter Murat on the corner between Via Sparano and Via Putignani, its project, in delicate and refined Style Liberty, is due to the architect Aldo Forcignanò, who conceived an effective and extremely scenic corner solution.
The façade of the building is made up of a succession of columns, beaded pilasters, Ionic capitals, masks, and, above, there is the monumental family banner. The interior, one of the most striking examples of Southern Italy Art Nouveau style, includes a monumental staircase and it is all illuminated by the glass dome that dominates the building.
Over time the Palazzo Mincuzzi has become the symbolic place of Bari and one of the most prestigious shops in Bari. In 2001, however, the Mincuzzi family decided to close an era and rent its building to the clothing company of Luciano Benetton.
After the change of ownership, many people feared the distortion of what for all the Baresi had always been a symbol of a history of trade and cultural exchanges. However, on the building, the Superintendent of artistic heritage has supervised and still supervises: the external and internal architecture has remained intact, absolutely respectful of the Art Nouveau style.

Located at the foot of the Quantock Hills, the Church of St Etheldreda – also known as the Church of St Audries – is a Church of England parish church in West Quantoxhead, Somerset. Designed by John Norton, it was built in 1854-56 and is a Grade II listed building.
St Etheldreda’s was built on the site of an earlier church, which had a chancel dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, and a nave and tower of the 15th century.
By the middle of the 19th century, the church had become dilapidated and was considered too small to adequately serve the local congregation. After a period of deliberation, Sir Alexander Fuller-Acland-Hood favoured building a new church rather than restoring the existing one, and plans were drawn up by John Norton of London.

The first brewery in Texas. Located in La Grange, Texas
Here's more info:
No one should ever underestimate the impact that German immigrants have had on Texas. German settlers were in Texas from the beginning of the Colonial period, but at the end of the Mexican War large numbers of Germans and others immigrated to Texas because of the mild climate and cheap land.
Map Link
One such German immigrant was Heinrich Kreische. He arrived in Fayette County in 1849 and purchased 172 acres on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River above La Grange. This land included the land where the Dawson/Meir tomb is located. He honored those who gave their life for Texas by maintaining the tomb his whole life.
Photo Link
Mr. Kreische was a master stone mason and over a period time built a three story stone home on the bluff. He was also involved in the construction of many stone structures in Fayette County. I've noticed in my travels that German stone masons have been involved in almost every major stone building in Texas in the 19th century, from the Capitol Building in Austin to the Fort in Fort Davis, Texas.
Heinrich Kreische
In 1860 Mr. Kreische began building one of the first breweries in Texas. He cleverly built it in a ravine below his house that was feed water from a spring that he used in the production of beer. By the middle of the Civil War the brewery was producing beer in a nine step brewing process with an ingenious gravity feed water system. When a new batch of beer was ready a large banner was raised that said "Frisch Auf" (Freshen Up). This was an invitation to the community to come to the bluff and enjoy a picnic, dancing, games and a stein or two or three of "Kreische's Bluff Beer"!
In 1882 Heinrich Kreische, German immigrant, master stone mason, and brew master, was killed in a wagon accident.

Located in the altitude fields of the "Serra da Bocaina", the "Casa de Pedra", as it is currently known, was built by Dr. Lassance, a resident doctor from Rio de Janeiro, in the beginning of the 20th century and its apogee in 1914.
Once ready and decorated with the richest imported refinements, the house was not much to the liking of his wife who was not interested in the patrimony.
The abandonment and vandalism were destroying the beautiful building that is now in ruins, and today is only a reminder of the golden days of "Bocaina".

Located in the city of Carira, Sergipe, Brazil, I found this house that caught my attention due to the art that was placed in detail. From its size of narrow proportions, but with its details inlaid on the wall, door with various accessories, from water pipe connections, to pieces of hose forming hearts, shells, stones of different colors and shapes, drawn with stars, birds , padlocks that make us travel only in these details. In addition to not being well finished on the outside, that is, not plastered, we have inlaid on the wall, bicycle parts, in the windows, bottle caps, hoses and ropes, and we also have three images on top of this house, the first being the first , I think that representing the slave (here in Brazil it was brought from Africa for hard work), the second image, a saint, here in Brazil it is the patron saint, Nossa Senhora Aparecida, and the third image of Jesus Christ crucified.
I couldn't speak to the owner of this property, I would like to know more details, to know the story of this creation. I hear there's even more in there, and of course I was very curious.
Every moment you look at this image, you see something new, there were many pieces and ornaments placed.
The image appears to be crooked, but no, this house is on a slope, thus forming this form of image.
If I manage to speak with the owner, and manage to enter, I will post new internal images and the history of this different property.
Localizada na cidade de Carira, Sergipe, Brasil, encontrei esta casa que me chamou a atenção devido a arte que foi detalhadamente colocada. Deste o seu tamanho de proporções estreitas, mas com seus detalhes incrustados na parede, porta com diversos adereços, desde conexões de encanamento d'água, a pedaços de mangueira formando corações, conchas, pedras de diferentes cores e formatos, desenhada com estrelas, pássaros, cadeados que nos fazem viajar só nestes detalhes. Além de não estar bem acabada por fora, ou seja, não estar rebocada, temos incrustadas na parede, peças de bicicleta, nas janelas, tampas de garrafa, magueiras e cordas, e temos ainda em cima desta casa, três imagens, sendo a primeira, acho que representando o escravo (aqui no Brazil foi trazido da Africa para trabalhos duros), a segunda imagem, uma santa, aqui no Brasil é a padroeira, Nossa Senhora Aparecida, e a terceira imagem de Jesus Cristo crucificado.
Não consegui falar com o proprietário deste imóvel, gostaria de saber mais detalhes, saber a hitória desta criação. Soube que tem mais ainda lá dentro, e claro, fiquei muito curioso.
A cada momento que você olha para esta imagem, vê algo novo, foram muitas peças e ornamentos colocados.
A imagem parece estar torta, mas não, esta casa fica numa ladeira, assim formando esta forma de imagem.
Caso eu consiga falar com o proprietário, e consiga entrar, colocarei novas imagens internas e a história deste diferente imóvel.

This is located near the quite moderate sized town of Ithaca NY a park that mostly caters to local regional hikers from the lack of any out of state license plates I saw in the parking area. The hike to these falls was any easy hike for anyone in decent physical condition and was worth the five hours of putting the pedal to the metal for me to get there. The falls drop 115 feet and there is a viewing area at the base of the falls you can get to. This park was named after Robert H Treman a wealthy businessman and conservationist who bought the land and just a few years later donated the land to state as a park in 1920.
