Day 38 of 365: "Location, Location, Location"
Since starting this 365 project, I feel like I'm also getting better at scouting cool locations to shoot. It amazing how many interesting spots there are to photograph within a few mile radius of where I live. Doing this project is solidifying my love of landscape photography.

Brick in cement buildings are the most common buildings constructed in the recent times in Nepal. Buildings that are more than 15-20 years old are mostly this type of urban areas. Buildings that are built mostly in rural and outskirts of urban areas are of this type. These are the brick masonry buildings with fired bricks in cement sand mortar. In some of the semi-urban area masonry buildings with concrete block and cement are built.
The structural walls are one brick thick (230mm) constructed in 1:6 cement sand mortar, in general in these type of buildings. The number of stories usually goes up to three or even more in core areas. The floors are of either reinforced concrete or reinforced brick or reinforced brick concrete slabs. The roof is also of similar construction although in some cases it is made sloping using RC slabs. Usually, the slabs rest directly on walls without beams. A peripheral beam cast with the floor slab can be found in some buildings. Though the cement mortar quality is better than mud mortar, the use of
thin walls and large openings and absence of earthquake resisting elements such as bands and vertical reinforcement make these buildings also vulnerable to earthquake.
Nepal suffered a massive loss of lives and property on Saturday 25 April 2015, when the devastating magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Nepal. Subsequent aftershocks, including one of magnitude 7.3 near the Chinese border on 12 May, produced additional losses of life and property.
The earthquake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest and in the Langtang valley. Villages were flattened and people were made homeless across 31 districts, with 14 districts suffering the highest impact. Infrastructure was damaged throughout the earthquake zone. Historic neighborhoods and heritage sites were destroyed in the Kathmandu Valley.
As a result of the earthquake, 8,790 people died and more than 22,300 people were injured. Assessments showed that at least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government buildings were destroyed. Another 256,697 private houses and 3,622 government buildings were partially damaged. In addition, 19,000 classrooms were destroyed and 11,000 damaged.
The earthquake affected manufacturing, production, and trade in agriculture as well as tourism and other areas of the service sector, thereby weakening the national economy. Economic growth fell in 2015 and has picked up slowly 2016. Once fully underway, reconstruction should contribute to economic growth in the coming years.
According to initial estimates arrived at during the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), NPR 669 billion would be required to reconstruct damaged properties and infrastructure and to support recovery in affected sectors of the economy.
The government was providing 300 hundred thousand grant for Private housing reconstruction & 100 hundred thousand grant for retrofitting of the private house damaged by earthquake
Set in the sand dunes known as 'the Burrows' overlooking the marvellous beach at Freshwater East are a handful of holiday cottages built in the early twentieth century. With the growth of Pembroke Dock as a Naval Dockyard in the 19th century, Freshwater East became a popular recreation area and holiday homes were built by the wealthy. Plot development was halted when designated National Park status in 1952. Most cottages have been renovated & upgraded beyond recognition but this one, next door to the one we stayed in, still retains some period charm. Indeed, at least one of the cottages has been listed by Cadw.

Very sad location at Fort Breendonck where prisoners in World War II got shot by the Germans. They would tie them hands behind their backs to each of these wood poles and then got shot dead. It was a very quiet and erie place to be at as i was there alone. You could feel the tragedy.
