and Sigur Rós in Montreal, Quebec
September 2008
The Alburg Passage, North
Hero, Vermont, looking west with the Adirondacks in the background
late summer in Bert's lakeside
garden--anybody need some zucchini???
not sure what this funny-looking
plant is but it smells great
Camp Bob-a-Lot: Deb and Bert
and a HUGE cauliflower from New Jersey...Jude took this pic,
it was the first time in 25
years the three sisters had spent a night together with no husbands, boyfriends
or children!
Bert later turned (some of)
the cauliflower into a delicious gratinée
last Jersey tomatoes to hit
Vermont in 2008
walking down the North End
Road--watch out for the traffic! (frogs, etc.)
beef cattle grazing
a primordial swamp along the
road
okay it's actually some sort
of drainage mechanism covered in a layer of algae
camp at sunset, looking through
the porch
Montreal!
Bert, Caitlin and Tim scoping
out the entrance to the concert site for later
back of the stage...hardcores
lining up five hours before the show to get a spot in front
This is for you Timbo!
Here's the band doing wheelies
on their Brompton
bikes behind the stage
(Jónsi's definitely
the best!)
more on the bikes from SR's
tour manager here
last
night of summer on the Place Jacques Cartier, bustling as usual
Caitlin and Deb enjoying some
lovely French wine before dinner
Bert and Tim sharing a laugh
at the wine bar (Tim in Sigur Rós shirt from 2005 show in Philly)
Tim and Cait in Montreal,
very nice pic

Old Montreal waterfront at
night
Sigur Rós, the second-best
band in the world!
This must have been the great
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
("Within me a lunatic sings"),
Bert's favorite and far and away the
happiest song the band has
ever done, with Jónsi joining Kjarri on the keyboards.
