Beautiful House - Aleppo, Syria
Evergreen Place_2
This home was built in 1794 and known as Evergreen Place. It used to be the location of the Jim Reeves Museum. Tennessee Preservation Trust has listed it as one of the most endangered sites in the state. Hopefully it will not be tore down.
Unfortunately in September 2005 this site was torn down. I'm glad I was able to photograph it before it was destroyed.

taliesin west
"Designed 1937-59
In late 1937 Wright purchased land in northeast Scottsdale, Arizona, where he and his young apprentices took on the task of building Taliesin West as a winter "camp." The complex of buildings included residential spaces, theaters, a shop, and an architectural studio and drafting room.
From its inception, the buildings at Taliesin West astounded architectural critics with their beauty and unusual form. In it 1956 report Architectural Record called a visit to Taliesin West "an experience in color, light, and time . . . Most of all, the building is an experience in time: approach terraces, the steps, the long walk under the pergola, the penetration into the heart of the building itself: all these form a subtle sequence of varied spaces, scales, and shapes . . .Perhaps never since the baroque period has the element of time been used so skillfully in realizing the enchantment of an intricate work of art."
Wright continued to add buildings and make changes to the site for twenty years. Taliesin West served as Wright's winter home, architectural studio, and campus for the Taliesin Fellowship."

turf house
this is part of the Glaumbær turf house located in Skagafjordur, north of Iceland. People lived in houses like this up until late 1800 and in some remote places even longer. It´s made of turf and rocks with wooden front and kept our ancestors warm in the long and cold winters we used to have here. This is now a museum

Pristine Island floating huts
Another shot of the floating rooms of Pristine Island. The sky opened up after many days of rain and was lucky to be at a location as pretty, clear and clean as this.

Our home setting.
Our home sits at the base of the mountains at the top of the more lightly timbered ridge - just above the power lines. You should be able to see the rocky mountain behind our house on the far right of the photo.

Parents house.
Old van travelled everywhere, still running strong. Not a fan of North American made vehicles, but this van proved its worth.
