Elaborate stone masonry is a characteristic of the landscape in Hinohara and Okutama municipalities. It is needed to build houses, Shinto(u) shrines, play ground for children, car parking space etc. as the flat land is scarce.
This photo was taken at a settlement on the riverside of the Akigawa, a tributary of the Tamagawa.
I took this photo last year. I'm not sure, but I think it was the San Francisco unified school district office building . Curiously, The sculpted man in the foreground is clutching a mallet as he pores over a book -- on stone masonry, perhaps -- and the demonic-looking fellow is intensely examining a rock or a lump of something.

Perpendicular, interrupted strips of bricks form the facade of Goes town hall. They play a role in the complex energy management system of this building.

Stay safe everyone and hopefully this will all be over soon.
It is amazing in this kind of traditional architecture made by masonry walls, to look how many sizes of stones are used and what a difficult work is to fit it all. This is an old house in a village at Madrid mountains region, Spain.

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
The Dunkeld Bridge is a bridge spanning more than 200 metres over the River Tay and one of many built by the great Scottish engineer, Thomas Telford. This is a seven arch masonry bridge that for a long time was one of the major crossing points for the Tay. Even by the standards of arched bridges, the supports are beautifully formed semi-circular arches. If you’re ever in the area, it’s worth making a stop here by car or walking for the views across the Tay and, the hills and forests of Dunkeld.
Windmills have become part of the Canarian landscape, silent witnesses of a past in which they played an important role in the economy of the islands. In the case of Fuerteventura, they existed profusely because this typology is developed mainly in arid or desert regions, taking the wind as a source of energy, to make up for the lack of water currents. To this contributed the almost permanent presence of air currents in the islands and the orography of the island, characterized by vast plains only "interrupted" by these peculiar constructions.
Their typologies are made up of two very different types, but one of them predominates numerically. The most abundant is defined by an architectural structure of flat circular plant, with truncated cone shape made of masonry, topped by an irregular conical or pyramidal wooden roof of which one of its parts is open to give exit to the axis of the blades. The interior is divided into two floors, with access to the upper floor by an interior staircase, in some cases, or exterior, in others. The other typology, of which there are fewer examples, is defined by a quadrangular building, on which rises a tower made with a framework of wooden railings, which supports the blades. In the center of the tower descends an axis that connects the gearing of the blades with the stones.

Ermitage de la Roche Sainte Enimie - Gorges du Tarn - Lozère.
Édifice semi-troglodytique du Xe, XVe siècle, il est constitué à partir de la grotte et de plusieurs éléments de maçonneries rapportés à différentes époques.

A semi-troglodytic building from the 10th and 15th centuries, it is made up of the cave and several masonry elements brought back at different times. According to legend, the Princess Enimie rested there and retired there at the end of his life. The hermitage of Roche is accessible on foot via a Stations of the Cross.

Leftovers and outtakes for today. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend (we'll be out doing stuff)
Every year on the last weekend of August the small town of Bad Wimpfen - residence of the German emperors in the middle ages - hosts its annual Zunftmarkt (Guild Market). It's a reenactment for medieval crafts. It's a very fine spectacle - especially in a town that still reflects about 900 years of history in its streets and townscape.
I had originally tried to capture this scene with a reflection of the arches but with my limited knowledge of DOF at the time I stuffed it up well enough to warrant having another go and besides, the lack of clouds was hardly going to impress anyone either!
On my eventual return though, to my disappointment I discovered a newly erected fence right in front of the lake on the west side of Lion bridge preventing access to the same view.
So, knowing this has now become a rare perspective of the house here's the half that ain't half bad. Can anyone lend me a sky?
Thank you for wading by :)
