Wa(l)ter Becker

While the news about Steely Dan's 2011 tour is trickling out into the open walterbecker.com has been updated with links to the very same live tour plus a photo of a man experiencing the beautiful view of a lake and mountains.

Coupled with the "headline" ... until his hat floats we wonder if it's a sign that Walter Becker's next album will spotlight his interest in surf music? Then again it's probably just a photo of a man having some time off and enjoying life.

But where is the photo taken? It's named louisa2010. And since we've been to the stunningly beautiful Lake Louise in Canada we desperately tried to match the mountain silhouettes with our holiday snapshots before realising that there might be a difference between Louise and Louisa.
We found Louisa in Kentucky, Virginia, Iowa and ... Tasmania!
Wherever the photo was taken it is a fine vista indeed!

And nice to see walterbecker.com updated.

For a full size view of the photo go to http://walterbecker.com/news.html and click the ... until his hat flows-link.

Hi fellows -
nice view, and I think I know exactly where it is! I'll get back after some research.

Cool! Looking forward to it.

It's at the Chatterbox Falls end of the Princess Louisa Inlet (?) along the rugged "drowned landscape" coast of BC, canada. And it only took me a decade to get back to you!

Better late than never :)
