Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright

Back in November, my English teacher had the class look at the picture below (called Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright who built this building and took the picture) and write an essay on it in class. We had to use all five senses in the essay. Below is mine. My teacher gave me a 20/20 :)


       In Pennsylvania, lies the house "Falling Waters" built by architecht Frank Lloyd Wright. The rooms of the house are small, with low ceilings, giving it a cave like feel. The walls are made of stone, the fireplace from boulders taken from the area outside. A small stream with waterfalls flow through the house, and back out again. The sound of trickling water echoes through the house. All these things makes the house seem natural and help it blend in with it's surroundings.
      Walk outside and smell the trees and dirt, the forestry smell of the crisp air, lightly blowing the leaves of the tree, back and forth. The smell of the pines, oaks, maple, hickorys, are all wonderful treats to the nose.
      The sight of the small waterfalls trickling over rocks is beautiful. A squrriel runs down a tree and grabs an acorn, tearing it open and eats it, before running back up the tree.
      The water is icy to the touch, as it runs over the rocks. The rocks are smooth and worn down from many years of water running over them.
      The sound of the trickling water is music to the ears. Birds chirp all around in the trees, almost seems like a rain forest. At night, crickets chirp loudly, and owls hoot.
      The freshness and the cold of the water is like heaven to the tongue. The air carries the wonderful taste of the dirt and trees.
      The house "Falling Waters" by Frank Lloyd Wright is a beautiful place, built with natural resources, and has wonderful surroundings outside.
