I'm transfixed by Don't become someone you can't unbecome. Beautiful!
FLR stuff is ethereal. I'm an enthusiastic amateur for his stuff and it is spellbinding.
I'm sorry but even after working in Michelin starred restaurants I still look forward to the occasion where I can have a Big Mac! It's like going to the Ritz for High Tea when all I really want is a builders brew.
I'm at work so the dog has chirped in and called me twat.
No reason, he's just that sort of spoilt Lab🤷♂️
Thank you for taking the time to donate, my wife said it was much appreciated😉
Same on FLW... I have an entire shelf of stuff on him including a few quite collectable things. And it's struck me just how long it's been since I've had a Big Mac. That needs sorting.
Were these all particularly insightful or is it just a measure of the time and space we live in right now?
Also, I completely agree about Frank Lloyd Wright. His designs really do feel like they belong to a better world.
We visited Fallingwater on a misty afternoon, just before they closed. Only a few people were there, and they were leaving as we arrived. For a while, it felt like we had the place to ourselves.
We couldn’t go inside, but seeing the house from the outside was enough. It blended so naturally with its surroundings that it felt like it had always been there. The whole property was incredible.
I've still never been to Fallingwater, tho I've stood outside many other buildings and have literally three bookshelf feet of books by or about him... one of the undeniable geniuses, for me.
That’s so interesting! It sounds like you’ve done some serious digging into his work. Fallingwater is definitely worth the trip if you ever get the chance. There’s something magical about seeing his designs in their natural settings. It feels like the books don’t quite capture the full experience.
Oh definitely. There's certain things about his work — like the way the entrances are often hidden around the side, so there's a journey to get there, and the sight-lines out of the windows, that you can read about and intellectually appreciate but need to see in person to really feel...
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin’s home is close to my dad’s tiny hometown in rural Wisconsin. My dad’s younger brother was inspired to become an artist based on Wright's style. I’ve been to The House on the Rocks nearby ways too many times. Fallingwater sounds like a beautiful new place to visit if I'm ever out that way.
That’s amazing that your uncle was inspired by Wright’s style—it’s such a distinctive aesthetic. Taliesin is on my list of places to visit someday, and now I feel like I need to check out The House on the Rock too! Fallingwater is truly something special. If you ever get the chance to go, I’d love to hear what you think.
On a roll are we today? And not a single “weakish” fillet item in the bunch. You know, I’ll ask you to give me warning next time. I’m playing with you, of course, but seriously those are some good heavy hitters, and they came consecutively over time as if in step with a metronome yielding no extra seconds for thinking.
Glad this bunch landed ;-) I pick them out of the years and all of them meant something to me at the time, and thus still do... and it's hard to tell if they work for others.
Lovely set of bits you have today sir😁

Every single one of these is gorgeous and precise. AGAIN!!!
Thank you John!
That last one...😳

I *loved* the House on the Rock :-)
