Wright's Xanadu 2, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

This is another view of the only Frank Lloyd Wright building in San Francisco. Originally the V.C. Morris Store, now named the Xanadu Gallery, the building was designed by Wright in 1948. See yesterday’s posting for more information on the the structure, which the AIA has named as an architectural Contribution to American Culture. I will post views of the interior (a very cool circular ramp design) in the next few days.

Technical: Rotated slightly to straighten, some contrast and sharpening applied.

Hi Jackie,

It's good idea this composition. The door so very close for our sight, the play between the curves and the straight lines. I find interesting the diagonal shadow, that makes me remember a sun-clock. A very nice example of Lloyd's work. Beautiful shot! Thanks.

Regards,
Angel.
