FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT - FALLINGWATER

NOVEMBER 4, 2012

To try to get a better feel for the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, Kate and I made our way down to the southwest corner of Pennsylvania early November. In between our political analyses, we did some sightseeing and hiking. Without much planning, we found ourselves close to what could be one of the most famous residences in all the U.S.A. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

Was a little tentative during our tour. Tried not to cross "Killer 83"

Much to my disappointment, they just took down the Halloween decorations.

Here our guide is explaining how old the house is. Before today's modern era. Before the time you could get a blanket with sleeves. 

What's the first thing you do when they say absolutely NO photography of the interior?

Frank seemed to be no puppet to anyone other than the FLW Marketing Enterprise Corporation.

Frank's main goal here was the integration of home and nature.

Frank and the homeowner, Pittsburgh businessman Edgar Kauffman.

Here the term "Waterbed" was first coined after a rather strong spring run-off.

Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, much water was falling.

I can't believe Obama won.

COMING SOON: MORE WATER THAT'S FALLING.(Hope there are no homes in this post)
