Fallingwater Day-trip



We took a little day-trip to Bear Run, PA, yesterday to experience Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpiece (commissioned by the Kaufmann's of Pittsburgh) Fallingwater. It was just stunning. They discourage picture taking inside and from the terraces--a huge disappointment as these areas were certainly picturesque! I guess they want you to buy the book :) The details of this house are utterly fabulous--the blend with nature, convincing. Absolutely recommend a trip if you are ever in the area (though it is wise to reserve a spot on the tour ahead of time--you'll be waiting for a while if you don't!)



Fallingwater also offered the opportunity for us city folk to experience fall in the Pennsylvania woodlands--the forest air was sooooo invigorating! More pictures from the hike to and from the house on our flickr site. Cheers!
