Beautiful photography, and a very beautiful area. The architecture is interesting... I like how the roofs in that last image make the structures almost look like mushrooms.

In the second-to-last image, what is the purpose of the place, especially the pots? It looks important.

As for the dog... We have to keep ours tied up, because he won't stay close enough to home. He chases delivery trucks and deer, and barks in peoples' windows. He used to run freely.
