leanne demonstrates that bedroom door is twice (no exaggeration) as tall as she is. The four poster is comfortable too! Note the leather bag to the right of Leanne--the door stop, filled with lead beebee's--an example of one of many little surprise details Legoretta provided. The bedding is in the trunk at the foot of the bed. 

This is the private lanai, overlooking the ocean, outside our bedroom suite in Sandy and Jeanne Robertsons' Legoretta-designed, Mauna Kea resort home. 

Note the shower, the clear glass door--the water drains through a one half inch trough behind the shower flow and the tub--and the Ricardo Legoretta "pink" wall.

With the red iron dust and rocks in the foreground, the clouds conceal the vast Pacific and neighbor islands of the Hawaiian archipelago. 

Sunset advances. The long red and orange fingers of light from the setting sun over the Pacific lightly frame this ethereal landscape. Mauna majestically dominates this moments before sunset view from the Mauna Kea summit. Easy to remember why Hawaiians revered this sacred temple. 

sun set advances. stars will come soon. The splendor of sunset, with the longer red-orange rays reflecting off the clouds and the ethereal landscape remind us why Hawaiians revered this natural temple. 

PG poses in front of the Subaru telescope base. Engineering marvel and awesome scientific results.

Darker area in background represents a quarry from ancient times where the finest basalt was mined, in freezing cold, by Hawaiian artisans, sleeping in caves, and then used to make the tools that in turn hollowed out and shaped the canoes--the remnants of a race of giants, invading the sacred dwelling of the gods. 

The long high road to the summit of Mauna Kea, with the glacially created murrain fields in foreground and a Mauna Loa summit in background. 

Mauna Loa, in the distance, seen from near the summit of Mauna Kea. The small, scattered rocks in the foreground date back to the last glacier on Mauna Kea about 10,000 years ago.
