Incredible Tree House Community in Costa

Finca Bellavista is a self-sustaining community in the jungles of Costa Rica. So if you are fan of everything that is eco-friendly and like to merge with nature this can be what you need. Finca Bellavista encompasses 300 acres (1.2 km2) of rainforest.
The community features houses built right on top of the trees in the Costa Rican rain forest, connected by zip lines and sky bridges. These tree houses are accessible by stairs and ladders from the ground, reminds me of the Swiss Family Robinson.
The sustainable tree house community was founded by Americans Erica and Mathew Hogan not just as their own private escape from the crazy city life but as a community that attracts permanent residents and travellers from all over the world. New residents can purchase plots starting from $55,000 and build their dream tree-home; travelers can rent room for the short or long term.

Snow canyons in Japan

Yesterday I read a really interesting article  and it shows us the comparison between the condition of New York and Honsu Island in this snowy time. The condition in New York is sure bad, but compared to Honsu, wow I am shocked. Here are the pictures of snow in Honsu Island in the article and just like the article said it is a real snow and not photoshopped.

Amazing movable city on rails

 

Imagine a city in motion, where not a single building is anchored to the ground, with hotels, event halls and other structures all on rails and movable at will. That’s the vision behind ‘A Rolling Master Plan‘, a concept for the Norwegian city of Andalsnes by Swedish architects Jägnefält Milton. Both existing and new railway systems would be used to reconfigure the town for seasonal changes and special events.

Amazing world's tallest tower building in Burj Dubai

The tower is so enormous that the air temperature at the top is up to 8 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) lower than at the base. If anyone ever hit upon the idea of opening a door at the top and a door at the bottom, as well as the airlocks in between, a storm would rush through the air-conditioned building that would destroy most everything in its wake, except perhaps the heavy marble tiles in the luxury apartments. The phenomenon is called the “chimney effect.“

The largest cruise ship in world Oasis Of The Seas

Oasis Of The Seas is 1,184 feet long and more than 226,000 tons. The 5,400-passenger ship with a crew of 2,000 cost 1.5 billion dollars to make. Darn, I guess I can’t afford a copy! No other cruise line seems interested in topping it, so I think it will remain the largest cruise ship for some time.

The largest hydroelectric dam in the world

The Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It is located in the middle of the tree gorges on the Yangtze River, the third longest in the world, in the Hubei Province of China. The Yangtze River Dam was approved by the Chinese government in 1992. However, construction didn’t begin until 1994. It is scheduled to be completed by 2009. The $25 billion project is being internationally funded by companies, export credit agencies, and banks from Canada, Switzerland, Germany, France, Sweden, and Brazil. Controversy about the project arises from human rights issues (as many as 1.3-1.9 million people have been forced to relocate) and environmental impacts.

Beautiful Catamaran Pics

 

Necker Belle catamaran has everything a man could wish for a luxury one-week journey. Enough place for 12 guests, a full service crew on the board and a three man submarine you may use to explore the underwater world. 6-ft diving board, water skis, wakeboards, scuba diving equipment - everything is there. But the price is very high. One week in the Caribbean will cost you around $100,000.

 

World's Largest Cruise Ship, Allure Of The Seas

The world's largest cruise ship "Allure of the Seas," is a new ship of Royal Caribbean International. It is also the sister ship to the world's largest passenger ship, the MS Oasis of the Seas.
The "Allure of the Seas" is an architectural fantasy on the sea. It is 361-meters long, 66-meters wide, 72-meters high above the water, and its gross tonnage is up to 225,000 tons. There are altogether 16 decks and 2,704 passenger cabins in the vessel, which maximum capacity is 6,360 passengers and a crew of 2,100.

It left the Turku shipyard October 29 2010 heading directly to Florida, USA.

Val d'Aosta Wine Tours - - I Love Italian Travel

Val d'Aosta Wine Tours - - I Love Italian Travel.

So you have decided to go to Val d'Aosta, a sliver of mountainous land
bordering
on Switzerland and France. This region is bilingual and boasts some of
the best
skiing in Europe for example on Mount Blanc near Courmayeur. While tiny,
you'll
find some 150 historic castles, forts, and towers. Visit the medieval
village of
Bard and the fort that impeded Napoleon's military progress for two
weeks way
back when. St. Vincent has been a spa resort for more than one hundred
years and
is popular with the jet set. If you have time for only one castle, make
it the
Castello Fénis and don't miss its ancient frescoes. Visit the Parco
Nazionale de
Gran Paradiso (Grand Paradise National Park) is Italy's first national
park, and
once belonged to King Victor Emanuel III. You'll see many species unique
to
Europe. Finish your tour in the capital Aosta home to the cathedral,
other
historic churches, and Roman ruins. The Ad Forum Enoteca built on
ancient Roman
walls in the center of the cityis the place to taste local wines. 

 

Val
d'Aosta handles wine classification differently from almost any other region of
Italy. There is a single DOC zone which englobes the entire region. Most of the
thirteen wine styles are identified by grape variety. The reds are dry but the
whites may be dry or sweet, still, frizzy, or sparkling. However, little of the
local wine is exported to North America. After all, there are a mere 385 acres
(about 155 hectares) of vineyards in the entire Val d'Aosta DOC that are
exploited by thousands of growers.



Major white grape varieties include
the local Blanc de Morgex and Petite Arvine (popular in Switzerland.
International varieties include Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. Local red varieties
include Petit Rouge, Picotendro (called Nebbiolo in neighboring Piedmont),
Premetta, and Fumin. International red varieties include Gamay, Pinot Noir,
Grenache, and Syrah. For a tiny volume there are lots of grape varieties.




Companies selling regional wine tours include di Vino Tours, Italian
Wine Holidays, and Wine Tour Italia. Regional wineries that accept visits
include Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle in Morgex and Societa
Agricola Les Cretes in Aymavilles. Contact the Institut Agricole Régional in
Aosta and Viticulteurs Encaveurs Vallee d'Aoste in Quart for information about
visiting other wine producers. A few words of warning are in order. Make sure to
verify ahead of time for opening hours and whether English is spoken. Some of
these places may charge admission; others may expect you to buy some of their
products.

The Weisman Museum at the University of Minnesota

Frank Gehry designed the Weisman Museum at the University of Minnesota in Twin Cities Minnesota. The typically metal building strategically places windows which overlook the Mississippi river and downtown Minneapolis. It was completed in 1993.The broken up stainless steel facades seem to draw inspiration from the rocky banks of the river. The metal meets terra cotta colored brick on the city side to echo the history of the city. This interpretation of the natural and built environment is appropriate for the modern art inside.
