The Fallingwater House in Mill Run, Pennsylvania was designed by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmann family who once owned the Kaufmann Department Store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This weekend house was built on top of a waterfall and is considered one of Wright’s most notable works. I was visiting the area before heading to Pittsburgh so I booked a tour that allows photography inside the house although it meant waking up very early to make it to the 8:30 AM schedule. The great part of that tour is you get to enter the compound first and take photographs without the throngs of tourists filling up the house. The compound also has a viewing area where you can photograph the house from a distance. It was raining hard that day so I was a little worried how the weather will affect my photos or that I may not be able to hike to the viewing area without my camera getting soaked. Thankfully the rain finally stopped and the dark and gloomy weather allowed me to play with long exposures for that cotton effect on the waterfall that I love.
Photographs below were taken from the viewing area using a Canon Rebel T6s.

Well done!

I visited Falling Water on a senior field trip in high school many many years ago. I did not appreciate it then as much as I do now! Very good post!

I actually was referring to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I confused your reply with the other post. Yes, I can imagine Fallingwater would be wonderful during that time of year. Apologies for the mid type.

No problem. Although anywhere up north during the fall will surely be magnificent.

Thank you…the place was very impressive! If I had the money I would surely buy a waterfall and build a similar house. 😬

Thank you. It is a beautiful house…a bit advanced for its era but the design I would say is truly timeless.

Beautiful. FLW definitely had a talent. I guess you would never hear the sound of a dripping tap while you were trying to get to sleep. Allan

I believe I heard the sound of the waterfalls, which by the way thunders beautifully when you open a window as demonstrated by our tour guide.
