Seattle

Market and puget sound in the back

SAM - Seattle Art Museum

H: funny - Ziegen unter der Autobahn

H: the problem in the USA: cars! thousands and thousands of them, seemingly having taken control of the country. Here you see the cars going to the university - maybe thats why the humans are not educated enough ;)

A marathon at the highway - humans strike back against cars! ;)

canada...

...baby! victoria - so much more relaxed than the states. :)

Watch this unbelieveably cool guitar player

His name is Doug, we stumbled upon him on a Blues jam night in a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere - lucky find!

who knows where we are right now?

  

in seattle harald finally found ...

H: a danelektro with a case ... a case ... with AN AMP WITHIN THE CASE! How cool is that?!!!!

Oahu Amps

H: and here is what I wanted to try at least once in person: A Gibson Amp (Gibson GA-6 in that case) - very nice warm sound. Was thinking about buying it and still do - 1000$ for a 14 Watter is kinda steep so, still thinking, ;) For those who know, its more or less a Fender Tweed Deluxe clone.

H: a real Leslie in the background (and some Zvex Fuzz factories in the foreground)

H: and another legend: a Blackface Bassman from the 60s. Sounds similar to my sliverface though, so a lot of the legend may be just that - legend. Still a sweet sounding amp though.

olympic national park

our nice spooky hotel ;)

H: somebody was here BEFORE us!!!

H: Cirripedia auf einem Stamm der aus dem Meer angeschwemmt wurde - 100e und alle lebendig!
(das sind Krebse, die einen muschelähnlichen Habitus und Lebensstil haben - oft schauen sie wie kleine Vulkane aus; diese hier haben eine zweigeteilte Schale, die sie Muscheln noch ähnlicher macht - vermutlich heissen sie wohl deswegen auch "Entenmuscheln")

H: Bold eagle (Weißkopfseeadler) - mit dem Osprey (Fischfalke) den wir vor einigen Tagen sahen  einer der großen Jäger hier.

:D
