Castillo de Calatañazor (Spain, 2016)

Garage in front not original (!), but yes, that's snow. Way off the beaten track in northern Spain in February. For me, the perfect way to avoid crowds and explore 'hidden' cultural treasures; and avoid the heat.

A.I. Is Coming for Culture

We’re used to algorithms guiding our choices. But when machines can effortlessly generate the content we consume, Joshua Rothman asks, what’s left for the human imagination?

Maras: Salt Mines from the Past
The Maras salt mines are still active today, just as they were centuries ago. Thousands of salt pans are filled with mineral-rich water that evaporates under the sun, leaving pure salt crystals behind. The visual impact of the site is stunning and uniquely Peruvian.

MARAS
Maras is home to thousands of salt pools cascading down the mountainside, a dazzling sight since Inca times. Still harvested by hand, it’s a brilliant example of sustainable tradition.

Aboriginal cultural heritage site: The kuyang - A giant 300 metre eel arrangement

"All it is is rocks in a paddock," Mr McMaster (farmer)

"Adrian McMaster allegedly used an excavator to remove rocks from an ancient stone arrangement resembling an eel on his Lake Bolac property, between Ballarat and Dunkeld, in 2021. I was moving the stones so I could get the [weed sprayer] in there," the 65-year-old told Ballarat Magistrates Court."

Victorian farmer says destruction of Aboriginal cultural site an 'honest mistake'
