I went to Fallingwater today, and it was incredible. For those that don't know, Fallingwater is a house designed by Frank Llyod Wright during the Great Depression. It is located right over a Waterfall, and is literally hanging right off the side off a cliff. Boulders and streams go right into the house from the surrounding area. It is a thing of extreme beauty. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the house, but I did manage to take some really good pictures, here they are:

Nice. If you are ever in WI (Near Wisconsin Dells area)... I recommend checkin' out House On The Rock. Its house that was actually built right into the rock. It's pretty cool. There's this one part that goes waaay out above the trees, it's like a peak that get's very narrow at the end, but you are able to walk out on it and view below cuz its all glass around it. It's kinda freaky... you can feel it swinging back and forth in the wind... doesn't feel that safe, but very cool to see. Plus this dude was a collector... he collected everything from guns, to carousels, to pizza cutters to anything you could think of.

It's in Laurel Highlands, PA. About an hour drive from Pittsburgh, out in the middle of fucking nowhere. It's really peaceful out there. Next time I go, I'm going to take the sunset tour, that shit is $100 a person though.The way Wright designed the house, it needs very little artificial light, it gets a lot of natural light throughout the whole house, I bet it is amazing with the sun setting.

Fuck if I know, they took everybodies camera's at the entrance. Couldn't have bags in there either. The floor and walls were all done with stones from an on site quarry. The walls on the terraces were done with concrete and steel bars, they folded the concrete to compress it, which is how it is strong enough to hang off the side of the cliff. Cantilevar technology. This shit was state of the art in 1930, when it was made, and still is today, really.

There were Picasso paintings on the walls in the bedrooms, Diego Rivera paintings, hella Tiffany lamps and shit like that.
