Living in the Himalayas one can't but admire the ingenuity, hard work, & practical approach likely based on years of trial and error, & also co-evolution of such practices across diverse mountain regions of the world. Simply a marvel of human engineering. Then there is the stunning beauty of such agriculture scapes

Perched on the slopes of Mount Carmel, the Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa unfold like a stunning green staircase, with 19 terraces descending toward the Mediterranean Sea.
This UNESCO World Heritage site is a blend of natural beauty and spiritual tranquility, where vibrant flowers, manicured hedges, and flowing fountains create a sense of perfect harmony.
At the heart of the gardens stands the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb, shining as a symbol of hope and unity. As you walk through this breathtaking landscape, each terrace feels like a step closer to peace, offering visitors a serene space to reflect and connect with nature and spirit.
By day or night, the Bahá’í Gardens are a true gem of Haifa, representing a message of unity for all.
“Learn this, as we pass through the portico: Fear nothing; there is nothing you can know! … This—what we seek is never what we find!”
