You always post such amazing pictures... which I promptly send on to a friend of mine who loves photography as much as I do.

Any idea where this was taken?

Thanks for posting...

4. About 3 blocks from the house where I grew up from age 6-13 were The Cascades.

.
.
I think they were in Michigan's top 5 tourist draws. For us kids, the hill provided sledding, tobogganing
and skiing options and there was an official Soap Box Derby track on the back side.
.
As we got older, during the day we would have races literally climbing up and down the concrete falls
(not the stairs, but the falls themselves).
.
During the summer nights, the local symphony orchestra would play free nightly concerts in front of
the falls.
.
They were also a great vantage point for fireworks displays anywhere in the town (and I think I
remember a large one at the falls on July 4th holidays.

7. I clicked expecting to see Frank Lloyd Wright's classic architectural marvel.

But this is lovely. And in the city of my birth, too...

13. I visited Fallingwater!

It is the most amazing house I've ever seen. It is timeless as well. The only thing that dated it were the size of the beds, they were tiny.

14. I was never inside. But I did see it's beauty. Thank you!

15. Amazing. I've loved that design since I was a kid.

It enchanted me. The book I had featured photographs of the house taken in the different seasons. Winter was breathtaking, with the falls frozen, and the house blanketed with snow...

Did you ever get to visit the house, I_T_W?

17. When I was a freshman in HS I was relly impressed

by the fact that they had a pay copier in the library. So I got a book that had the plans for this house. The copier copied in negative and the copies came out slightly damp - ok kind of wet. After they dried you could copy them and get a positive copy

Oh yeah, . . . I copied the plans for this house. That would have been 1966.

18. That's the one that immediately came to mind!
