Day Three- 1/4 Lap of America Taliesin This shot is a great example of all things FLW. Adding art from his endless collecting, like the soft edged detailed wood carving, exquisite in it's own right, to the upper level of this stairway makes it a balcony overlooking the gentle stone walls. The walls themselves are geometrically pleasing. Light from nowhere catches on the far end of the yellow/gold-colored ceiling and dissipates into a darker sand color with broad impressionist strokes as it approaches. The door itself is a design, breaking into smaller defined panes of glass. Always always a space for something green to grow. Intentional. Never mind the croquet set. Too many shots were ruined by hoses left in gardens on a rainy day.:(
