No.178: Fallingwater House - July 4th Weekend Part 1 #pen #sketch #drawing #travel

It has been my dream to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater House in Pennsylvania.  It was really a marvelous architecture.  The house was exactly located in and coexisted with the nature.


Pittsburgh is a town of Andy Warhol.  Among the portraits, I found Ryuichi Sakamoto.



The townscape of Pittsburgh was beautiful but I wish we could have an entire view from the top of the hill.  We couldn't find a good place.  And the traffic jam was extremely heavy.  Was it because of the evening rush hour or because it was just before the fourth of July?  Or is it always congested?


The Ball Park was beautiful, too.


When Pirates had a home run, they have fireworks.


And Pirates won agains Phillies.

No. 177: Travel in Connecticut Part 2 - One Drawing Each Day Series #pen #drawing #sketch #travel

Mystic was als a lovely seaside town.  We visited Mystic Seaport, the Museum of America and the Sea where you can find old fishermen's houses, old town houses and shops, ships and interesting fishery tools.


The pizza at Mystic Pizza was awsome.  I didn't expect this to be so delicious.

All these can be visited from Westchester in one day together with Essex.

   On June 29, we went to Connecticut.  First we visited Essex Steam Trains and then we visited Connecticut River Museum.  The harbor view was very beautiful.
