Sights and sounds...

Some cities have great buildings.

Seattle is full of them.

You know you're Stateside when you find Macy's!

I wasn't so much impressed with shopping there as I was with the carvings on the building...

Whereas the lads were QUITE impressed with the shopping possibilities at 'Leroys'...

(they don'y call my brother 'Dapper Dan' for nothing!)

Then there's the main Post Office ...

Very Art Deco.

Some buildings are famous landmarks...

Some have historic signs...

First automatic car wash in the country...still in operation!

Some have strange titles...

...I guess this as opposed to the "vintage burning Bush Hotel" !

Some buildings have incredible gates...

Even fire escapes can be somewhat of an architectural marvel when viewed in the right light...

Light fixtures anyone?

Some buildings host their own musical guests right out front...

Some have obvious signs of their cultural heritage...

But there is one building in Seattle which is probably the most intriguing and striking...

One, for its colours...

Two, for it's bizarre shapes...

Welcome to the Experience Music Project!

A gallery dedicated to the art of Rock and Roll.

It houses an incredible collection of famous guitars, memorabilia, and this

sculpture...

Of course you can't go anywhere in Seattle without being reminded

of one of it's most famous sons...

Front row seats for this dude...

And a quote for my friend Regina who's just learning to play guitar...

So if you get a chance...have a look inside.
