Another page for my album documenting a recent road trip to the Southwest

Journaling reads: Its in an inhospitable desert landscape, Taliesin West, the winter home and school of Frank Lloyd Wright, but we were told that was the point. 'Arizona needs an architecture of its own,' Wright is known to have said, and this building, made of local materials and designed to capture the natural light, snuggles into the terrain as naturally as a Gila monster sunbathing on a rock. We were impressed by the dedication of the apprentices, who, with Wright, figured things out as they went along, including their own shelters, which they often crafted into iconic, sometimes fanciful, architectural statements about living with nature and the deserts rhythms. The 'Origami Chairs' in the living room were a big hit with us, designed low so that, when seated, the eyes would be directed up and outward into the view, and constructed out of a single sheet of 4x8 plywood for economy of materials. They really did look like they were folded out of paper and we loved the little copper detail on the feet, which reminded us of animal hooves. --Scottsdale, AZ October 2017

The background is two papers blended together on color burn to accentuate the texture. Stains went on top of the backgroundI used the color picker to match the dark gray of the gravel road.
I placed the journaling on lined notebook paper to which I applied a torn edge. To embellish my layout, I used a few branches and also made a little stamp of the logo with an internet photo of Frank Lloyd Wright superimposed upon it on color burn blending mode.
Incredible vacation! I love the way you have managed to combine the black and white landscapes with those wonderful red chairs and graphic image of Wright!
 
Your two pages are awesome! I always love the mix of black and white with color, makes the eye actually look at each photo. What an incredible place and I'm loving those chairs also. And I have to say, I didn't know he built a house in Arizona. Good to know.
 
Form before function! Beautiful mix of photos and love the warm orange!
