5. The road to Fallingwater was the best spur-of-the-moment detour...

6. That's an interesting building...I'm not sure I really like it, though...
Is that your picture, Floogeldy? The building doesn't really blend in with the others very well...I'm sure, though, that that was on purpose.

:hi:

7. A different view
It's Wright's tallest building. It was originally designed for New York City, and, after building it in small-town Oklahoma, he called it “the tree that escaped the crowded forest.”

9. I'm taking a Frank Lloyd Wright class right now!
It's pretty much all FLW, all the time.

Pretty cool I guess, but it gets seriously boring at times when we start going over all this pointless architecture theory and terms and blah blah blah.

Never get tired of looking at his buildings though! :) I've been on a few tours and watched far too many films, but it never gets old.

10. I don't think we should
I think we should boycott Google. After all, they didn't do a special masthead for Memorial Day, those bleeping bleeps! :sarcasm: ;)




Seriously, I love it. FLW was one of my favorite architects. I loved "Falling Water" and the Guggenheim Museum.:thumbsup:

11. I take it that I'll have to hide
If I point out that I'm not really a great fan of F.L.W.
