I was driving north on Scottsdale Road on Sunday and spotted a flash of red on the tall Frank Lloyd Wright Spire that sits on this corner. I was curious about what I was seeing so I turned the corner to get a closer look.
It appears that silly "Elf on the Shelf" has decided to climb the spire. I don't recall ever seeing the spire decorated for the holidays before.
Getting the full view of the elf was a bit challenging. As you can see, the sun was shining on the other side. This was the best I could do with the sun hiding behind the spire.
I posted the history of the spire back in 2013 and I snapped another photo of it back in March.
That is fun, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteWhat will the Elf do when he gets to the pointy top?
ReplyDeleteHa! That elf looks custom-made for the spire. A cheerful holiday decoration! And good job photographing it against the light -- never an easy task.
ReplyDeleteWe had so much fun with the Elf on the Shelf when our grandson visited. The FLW spire is a creative spot for the Elf. The town should give him a name!
ReplyDeleteHa, good one.
ReplyDeletethe elf is doing what to the spire? hear that?, FLW spinning in his grave - metaphorically.
