Scenes from the States

Here is the slideshow of our time in the States! Lots here including the Grand Canyon, the Nevada Desert and Hoover Dam, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Seattle Space Needle, and also scenes from the different cities that caught my eye. It basically follows the order of our holiday starting off in Vegas and then travelling north to San Francisco and then onto Seattle. Just a note about the music, I found it a bit harder to match this time with the number of photos and the differences in the scenes, each place having its own kind of atmosphere or feel. I think the one I went with seems to fit well on the whole. Anyway, I guess you can always mute it if you prefer J.
I hope these pictures give a good sense of our holiday, and I hope you enjoy them!







Great pictures, I want to go back there again some time!
Oh, I loved these pictures! Thanks for sharing your journey with us, it looks like it was a great trip, you saw so much! I must mention Rachel the Pig! Too cute:) and I have never seen the first starbucks logo…
Cool pictures Birgit……Did you have fun with the family in Seattle?
Man you really know how to get the most out of your camera don’t you!! xxoo
Hi Susanne, yeah, it would have brought back memories from your lovely vacations on the West Coast – I hope you all get to visit again soon :) xo

Hi Rain, I’m so glad you enjoyed them :) Yeah, I really like the original Starbucks logo – the twin-tailed siren. She seems to have become more streamlined (and clad) since then … Hope you’re well xo

Hi Chris, we had so much fun! I love those guys. It was great we were able to get you in on things too with Skype, but you and Ruth will definitely have to visit too – maybe you could stop over on your way to stay with us next year ;) Love you, and love to everyone xo

I finally got to see these now that we have broadband access – 6 months later! And they are fabulous Birgs – you have a great way of capturing the spirit of a place :-) Have to say that I loved the San Fran pics best, but then that’s because I loved San Fran!
That’s so great, Kaz, I’m so glad you got to see them :) Yeah, I can imagine it would have brought back a lot of lovely memories from your recent travel through the States. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, San Fran is one of my favourites too ;)
