I'm on my way to work, so I'll look at the photos later. But I agree
with you - TW is an amazing place. I'm a student of FLLW's work, and I
give tours at Robie House in Chicago. My wife and I have visited a
dozen FLLW sites, including Taliesin in Spring Green, WI, Taliesin West,
Fallingwater, and the Johnson Wax building.
There's something about his designs from the Prairie period forwards
that just resonates with me.
