Villa Erard is a residential project designed by Andrea Pelati Architecte in 2015. It is located in Nods, Switzerland. Villa Erard by Andrea Pelati Architecte: “The villa is settled in a strictly planned residential zone hanging over the Diesse plateau, in the Swiss Jura Mountains.

Sacred City by russbishop by russbishop
Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park (known as the The City of Refuge) is one of my favorite spots on the Big Island of Hawaii. This tranquil park is tucked away on the Kona coast not far from Kealakekua Bay where Captain James Cook first visited the Islands in 1778 and soon after met his fate.
In ancient Hawaii this sacred location was both a favorite residence of the high chiefs, and a safe haven for defeated warriors and those who had broken the kapu (ancient laws). Several thatched buildings including a heiau (or temple) and interpretive displays provide a glimpse of what life was like here centuries ago.
Today this quiet palm lined beach and lagoon are perfect for snorkeling or photography, and contemplating the rich island history this park preserves. It is also a sanctuary for the endangered green sea turtles that feed in the shallow cove and frequent the sandy beach to lay their eggs and rest. View on black for best experience!
