A Village House
"Farm house" of a "Kunabi" villager surrounded by Rice Fields, built with Mud and brick covered with tiled roof.
That sounds so much sturdier than our traditional farm houses. They used to be made of bamboo and palm leaves. There are still a few in the more remote villages, but most now use plywood and/or concrete.

To western eyes, this is such an unusual building. Really lie the low angle you have on this.
