Arizona - Taliesin

There's a couple of significant aspects to this photo.  One is to highlight the affinity that Frank Lloyd Wright had for all things oriental and the other is to feature one of the unique building blocks used extensively at Taliesin.  Form work was constructed wherever a retaining wall or foundation was required and then large rocks were placed in the forms . Concrete - mixed with locally available sand and gravel - was then added.  The result was the type of rough concrete seen either side of this photo.
