A few days ago I posted some lions I found roaming around Paradise Valley. I found those lions by exploring in an area of the city that I hadn't visited before. I found some huge estates worthy of all those lions. In fact, the one above features two of the lions I posted a few days ago, the one standing tall and the one sitting on the post. You can see in this photo that the one standing tall had a twin on the other side of the entry.
This house didn't have any lions but, it did make up for it in very large pots overflowing with flowering plants.
This home has its own lake in front. It sort of made me think of a moat around a castle and it's certainly large enough to be castle-like.
I have no idea what this home might look like. The rather formidable gate blocked any view beyond. However, that block fence makes me think of a Frank Lloyd Wright design. I have no idea if it is but, Wright did use that type of block in many of his designs.
Tomorrow I'll show you a couple more from this area I explored.
Tres impressive homes Sharon, was there a drawbridge for the house with the lake in front 😃
ReplyDeleteIt is an area of very expensive and beautiful homes. And I'm not lion. (Did I do that before?) Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteImpressive architecture! I do like that gate.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to wade through the water to get to the house with the lake? ;-)
ReplyDeleteBe careful. Someone snooping around the neighborhood with a camera could be a burglar casin' the joint!
ReplyDeleteLifestyles of the rich and private. Beautiful homes but not what I'd spend my resources on. The gate doesn't feel Wright-ish to me but maybe it's those medallions. Won't see anything like that at Taliesin.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous places. I'm not a fan of obnoxious gates like those.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine living in homes like these!
