My wife and I just returned from a trip out to the Pacific Northwest. Here are a few pics without being too boring (Hey buddy - want to come over and see slides from our trip????)
The Reifel Bird Sanctuary is a beautiful patch of land set aside for bird migrations in Ladner, British Columbia. Here is a picture of a Sandhill Crane and its baby - apparently a rare sight. My wife had a run in with 'daddy' shortly after this picture!

Next up was Whistler BC. We got on the worlds biggest so and so gondola - totally crazy. I think they said it was nearly two miles long and it connected from one peak to another. You dont want to fall from this bad boy.

Also saw some black bears while there - snuggy wuggy
Next, it was on to Seattle for the main reason for the trip - U2 on my birthday! This was my 7th U2 show - and Id probably rank it as my second favorite (first being a concert back in 1993 during the Zoo TV tour when they were calling presidents, etc during the show!). The boys still put on a helluva show.
These arent my pictures...but pics from the show nonetheless
This pic is from Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - one of the really good 'obscure' songs.
That gondola was scary looking - GLASS BOTTOM? Yikes! Reminded me of Where Eagles Dare...haha.
ReplyDeleteGreat u2 shots!
Used to be a chef in one of their restaurants in Dublin, met them a few times, nice pictures.
