The charming little hotel where I stayed in Venice had a terrace restaurant where I ate one night. The hotel was the home of the famous composer, Vivaldi, and was on St. Mark's Basin. It was also next to this great canal where one had a view of several bridges.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Minerva Terrace is the primary feature of the Mammoth Hot Springs Area. It goes through cycles of activity where there may be no water at all to such large travertine deposits that it covers the boardwalk. The park actually installed a moveable boardwalk just in case.
Terraces at Ollantaytambo were built to a higher standard than common Inca agricultural terraces; for instance, they have higher walls made of cut stones instead of rough fieldstones. This type of high-prestige terracing is also found in other Inca royal estates such as Chinchero, Pisaq, and Yucay.

В этот день грозы прекращались лишь чтобы начаться с большей силой. Мы мчались на локацию для вечерней съемки, пытаясь обогнать грозу или хотя бы не оставать от нее. Но погода всегда вносит свои коррективы. Проезжая мимо террас, когда до конечной точки оставались считанные километры , выглянуло солнце. Мы фотографировали с рук, стоя под дверцей багажника нашего внедорожника.
Это террасы близ аула Чох, Дагестан
Спасибо, что дочитали и посмотрели
On this day, the thunderstorms stopped only to start with more force. We raced to the location for the evening shoot, trying to overtake the storm, or at least not leave it behind. But the weather always makes its own adjustments. Driving past the terraces, when only a few kilometers remained to the end point, the sun came out. We took pictures hand-held, standing under the tailgate of our SUV.
These are terraces near the village of Chokh, Dagestan
Thanks for reading and looking
Stretching for some 30 km along the northern shores of Lake Geneva, Lavaux Vineyard Terraces is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This photo was taken in the vineyard near a small town named Epesses.
This is one of the waterfalls on the Terrace Falls walk in Hazelbrooks Terrace Falls Walk. Taken after some quite substantial rain, this waterfall was certainly pumping!!!
Terrace Falls are located near Lawson and Hazelbrook, small towns approximately 90 kilometers (1.5 hour drive) from Sydney.
Falls are accessible by the short 800 meter walk from the bottom of Terrace Falls Road, or from the other side, Valley Road Hazelbrook. There are now gates on both sides to stop the dickheads that either dump cars or rip up the unsealed fire trail.
The walking track starts approximately half way between these two gated. There are two entry points along the track and it just depends from which Road you access it from.
The track itself is a beautiful example of temperate rainforest with many flowering native mountain plants, fungi, birds and sunning reptiles. Don't forget to look out for the colourful freshwater crustacean, locally known as the yabbie!!!
This walk has come rather rich and lush moss and lichens, not to mention the wonderful tree ferns!
Take your time and scamper up and down rocks, stop, listen and just chill to experience a true Blue Mountains experience!!! You might even get lucky as I did and witness the majestic Lyrebird.
Heavy rainfall required terraces and stone chips to drain rain water and prevent mudslides, landslides, erosion, and flooding. Terraces were layered with stone chips, sand, dirt, and topsoil, to absorb water and prevent it from running down the mountain. Similar layering protected the large city center from flooding. Multiple canals and reserves throughout the city provided water that could be supplied to the terraces for irrigation and to prevent erosion and flooding.
Florence Terrace in Rosedale is likely to have been named after Florence Nightingale Her medical work in the Crimean War of the 1850s made her famous not all that long before the Rosedale Abbey iron mining boom of the 1870s took place

Terrace Gardens, Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sigiriya is truly unique not only for its remaining ruins, but also for its stunning location.
The palace ruins on the summit of Sigiriya rock consist of several massive brick walls and pools, which were carved into the solid rock, and the sheer drop-offs on any side of the summit offer panoramic views in all directions.
The entry to the summit leads through massive Lion's claws which are the remains of what was once a much larger structure. In ancient times, the stairway lead straight into the mouth of a lion, and the name Sigiriya, which literally means Lions Rock, stems from this impressive monument.
The Royal gardens below the rock are among the most important and spectacular features of Sigiriya, and are considered to be among the oldest landscaped gardens in the world.
