The Petra Zone

Okay... so maybe I'm slow, but today I FINALLY found out where the picture of the target in the subway on the Double Take CD came from.

(Maybe they should have re-recorded "Underground" for the Double Take release, huh?)

Now you're on the trolley.

I wonder where they found those big white spiky things in the grass on Unseen Power.

I believe those wind generators where found somewhere in Wyomig. Sp????

Actually I think the wind generators used in Unseen Power are in California. However, I was surprised to see some in northern Illinois near the Wisconsin border, and of course, that album is the first thing I thought of.

I saw quite a few of them in Holland......

Perish the thought! Some things should just be left alone..... While we're at it, there is one song I think Petra shoulda redone, and that is "King's Ransom". I do like the song, but I think the arrangement was a little too clunky-sounding. I dunno...I think it could've benefited by a Double Take arrangement.

And about the windmills, calicowriter is right, they are in California. There are actually two windfarms here that Petra used. The cover of Unseen Power was shot in Altamont Pass, which is near San Francisco/Sacramento. The windfarm where they shot the video for "Sight Unseen" is in the San Gorgonio Pass, near Palm Springs. I've been through both of them several times, and of course I always play "Sight Unseen" over and over again.

I just got back from a short getaway to Palm Springs this afternoon...I saw the windmills.

I used to live in El Paso, then came to college here in Brownwood. A couple of years ago, I drove back to El Paso (8 hour drive from here, that's the only bad thing about Texas being so big). There were hundreds of those windmills out near McCamey. Also, the last time I drove through Sweetwater, I noticed several of them around there. I'm sure there are some elsewhere here in Texas as well.

I saw another one of those round red-and-white subway signs on the news, when they were talking about the bombings in London.
