Falling Water

Here are pictures from my little drive over to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water.  As you can see, the fall leaves were glorious at this time of year.  Also, you can probably see that I left my good camera at home and had to rely on my phone.  See better pictures at the website here
 
 
 
 
 
One of the interesting things about this home is that it is 7000 square feet, and half of that is balcony/outdoor space.  That is amazing to this city girl. 
 
 
 
 
 
Also in the area is another Frank Lloyd Wright home called Kentuck Knob.  From these pictures, you might be able to see that his plan was to tuck the home right into this knoll, or "knob," so that you almost can't see the home from some parts of the property.  It has all kinds of weird corners and hallways because FLW wanted it to be based on a hexagon shape.
