Shutter Mike Photography

For today’s Photo of the Day I am starting something new.  I am going to be revisiting some photographs I took in the past from some of my favorite places to photograph in Arizona but never published here.  The first one was taken in March, 2010 at St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery in Florence, AZ.  This is a great place to visit in general (no need to be Greek Orthodox).  It is peaceful and quite with beautiful gardens and architecture.  This stained glass window resembles the sun on the Arizona flag and was in one of the several chapels on the monastery grounds.

This is part two of yesterday’s photo collection post.  There were two Frank Lloyd Wright homes on this year’s tour; the Jorgine Boomer House and the Benjamin Adelman House.

This was the fourth year we have gone to the Modern Phoenix home tour.  This year the tour focused on the east Phoenix mid-century modern neighborhood of Marion Estates near 44th St. and Camelback.  But it also stretched a bit beyond the boundaries of Marion Estates and included two Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes, a definite highlight of this years tour.  Frank Lloyd Wright wintered in Arizona and brought his entire school with him to Taliesin West each year.

Be sure to check out images from past Modern Phoenix Home Tours:
