Sep 16 2024 - Fallingwater

 

What are the top architectural destinations for a bucket list?  It depends.  Do you want the big items like the Pyramids?  Perhaps a bucket list for those under 30 years old? 

If you pursue just one architect, and it is Frank Lloyd Wright, there are 16 Frank Lloyd Wright houses for a bucket list. So if my list is just one architect and one house, then we fulfilled the bucket list.  We visited Fallingwater, considered his most revered residence..  That was a thrilling experience -  we join the reverees.

If this is a place to visit before you die, are you then supposed to die?  How does a bucket list actually work?  

As compared to "things I'd like to do" - that sounds like a normal person.  The bucket list makes me think of someone who is manic and everything has to be in superlatives. 

 Fallingwater is spectacular.  Our visit to Fallingwater was when the water was very low, yet still falling.  I am glad it wasn't spring as the falling water would have been crashing water and we would have had to use the ear pieces to hear the tour.  Made me think that's why they have them. As well, last week was pre-Autumn colours.  The peak of peaks for a visit is with Autumn colours..  

The favourite picture was from the "Iconic View" spot.  That's its name on the sign.  Makes sense to me. 
 

 
Sea returning to bucket lists.  Perhaps they need to be specific be truly a bucket list item - here's the "not my picture" because it is in autumn with the colours, and then my picture.  

Are you a bucket list sort of person?  If so, Autumn colour is just a few weeks away and it is only 4 hours drive to get the "truly iconic view"  and truly fulfill the bucket list.
