Frank Lloyd Wright - Taliesin West 1937 - 1959

(Wikipedia) Named after Wright’s Taliesin studio in Spring Green, Wisconsin, Taliesin West was Wright’s winter home and studio from 1937 until his death in 1959. The complex is the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, a nonprofit organization that hosts tours and events there. Taliesin West is designated as a National Historic Landmark and a World Heritage Site.

Wright and his Taliesin Fellowship (later the School of Architecture) began making wintertime pilgrimages from Wisconsin to Arizona in 1935, and he bought a site in the McDowell Mountains two years later. His apprentices set up a temporary camp there, erecting the initial structures between 1938 and 1941. During Wright’s lifetime, he oversaw several expansions, and some of the original construction materials were replaced. After Wright’s death, the fellowship continued to modify the structures, and Taliesin West gradually gained popularity as a tourist attraction. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation began planning major renovations and a visitor center in the late 20th century. Parts of Taliesin West were gradually renovated and upgraded during the early 21st century.

Worth a visit if you are in the Phoenix area.

I love having the time to just walk around and shoot. It’s my happy place.

Sometimes you see the shot, sometimes the shot finds you. All you have to do is take the time to look.

We have friends in town and have been out and about visiting museums, gardens, and cultural centers. It’s been wonderful, with lots of much needed photography time. The struggle has been going through pictures and developing after a long day. I’ll be behind in processing for weeks at this pace!

Hope everyone is well. Thank you for stopping by for a look.

Doctor visits, errands, honey-dos, dogs to entertain, grandkids to FaceTime, but still got in a nice 4.5-mile walk. OH, and the best news of all - My A1C came down substantially. I’m very happy today. ☺️
