The huge Redwood trees.

In northern California we crossed some of the national parks with the huge Redwood trees. The drive was so long though, so we didn't find the time to go and have a little look at those majestic trees, could only get a little impression by passing them on the road and see them in comparison with cars and trucks on the road. Theese are some of the smaller ones.

Baked egg sandwich with bacon.

Enjoying the breakfast sandwich and a huge pot of coffee at Jimstown store.

Breakfast on the road.

Heading north from Napa towards Oregon and the wee town Bandon at the coast. Left the hotel early in the morning without breakfast. Now after one hour we found this little funny combined dinner and store
Called Jimstown in Heraldsburg. They do some nice sandwiches, so good morning to everyone.

Neo Rauch @ SFMOMA.

On of my favourite artists, German Neo Rauch is also present at SFMOMA. This is the painting called "Übergang" from 2003.

Live from SFMOMA.

This isn't a painting or a photography from he collection, it is the view from the top roof level of the gallery towards Union Square.
