After leaving, getting away from the Apple Park during the day. I came back 3 hours later to the same spot at night. I wanted to see the building at night. I'm glad, I did that. At night, the Apple Park looks magnificent. It looks magical, unbelievable, and overly phenomenal. I even saw one of the Apple Corporate executives Vice President of iPhone Marketing at Apple Inc. (Kaiann H. Drance) taking an elevator inside the Apple Park building. It was very nice to see an actual person walking around normal and waving around the doors. Walking and roaming around the hallways all alone. She was locking the building up on the top executive floor. It was just magical and amazing to capture that moment. Instantly, I had the chills. The energy was on a different level. I ended up getting very emotional and started crying. (I do not cry often) 🥲. It started to feel like I was dreaming. Thankful, grateful, and blessed. I felt like I was on top of the world. Therefore, I felt inspired yet very small. I felt very, very small. Honestly, I have never felt so small in my life.
Shortly after, I decided to go take a closer look and say my final goodbye before heading back and this time the same security guard was there. Got stopped again, I got scared and told the security guard. “Sorry, I am lost” “I need to get out”. She recognized my face well. The security guard replied: "Weren’t you just here 3 hours ago"? I just looked at her dumb and told her "I went out to have lunch across the street" She stated: *Sign*, she will open the main gate for me and go through the same process as earlier this afternoon. I was informed to “Exit Away”. While exiting, the same security guy (The one who took picture of my face and rental car earlier) shows up out of nowhere. He stopped me and he manually blocked the gate using his iPhone. I got extremely scared and thought I was in trouble now. Through my rear-view side mirror, I looked back, and I saw his fingers rolling back, signaling me back, and informing me to stop my vehicle. Put my car in reverse. (I was not able to leave as he had manually closed the main gate on me). Terrified, I rolled my windows down and the security guy gave me a frightening smile and said… “Are you ok”, Why are you here? “You don’t belong here", Must leave”. (Almost looked like I was looking at a zombie). I told him, “Sorry, I’m lost”. At this point, I got very scared. Thankfully, he manually opened the gate again and he suddenly vanished somewhere at the Apple Park. I was not able to see him at all. He just disappeared. It was weird and creepy. My heart was telling me to get out of there. It is time. Shortly after, I ended up leaving scared and frightened (thinking to myself what was that? what just happened) back to San Francisco, California.
Overall, it is a stunning building. You are looking at roughly $5 Billion Dollars. Indeed, it does look like a Spaceship at night. The mysterious secrecy is on another level. Something outside of this world. This is where the magic begins, happens, and continues. Truly Marvelous, inspirational, and spectacular. 🌬

😎...what big eyes you have!!
All I got is
A look from under the Bay Bridge in San Francisco.
So similar shot to yesterday. I used the Fuji on that shot as the Lumix was refusing to focus correctly. Perhaps it was not holding as I shifted to frame or maybe I was accidentally changing the distance. So tried the tracking mode. Limited success there as it is very difficult to get the tracker to latch onto whatever point you want tracked. Finally shifted over to the totally auto mode where the camera tries to sort out what's important. In this case it worked.

I'm back (though I don't know how long). So, second smart watch (a Huawei, this time) broke in April and I started wearing my fifteen year old automatic again. Unfortunately, this gave me the new watch bug, so I ordered a new watch from the company that sold me my first automatic. Delivery time? Approx one month. While waiting, I bought a couple of less expensive watches, starting with this Chinese Seagull 1963.
It's a reissue of the watch supplied to aviators of the PLAFF and is built to a high standard. Is this a wind up? Absolutely it is. Forty eight turns of the crown to full power.

It looks like a giant destroying a city already burned by its mom who can spit flames 😉
I am loving this lens, and I've just discovered that with an old Kenko 1.4 TC the image size is exactly the same (but more sharp) as that put out at a supposed 400mm by my Tamron.True love ❤️

Does anyone think Tamron was being ambitious when they named their 18-400mm?
Incidentally, the Kenko 2.0 TC works as well, and despite its age even shows the EXIF with correct focal length details.

Too many sea lions on a little buoy. Sometime one of them was falling down in the water and there were several attempts before it was able to go back over the others. But it did, at least for the time we were there.
One particular buoy on the lower reaches of the River Thames had a bell in it (for identification in foggy conditions), and we used to go past in our patrol vessel as fast and close as possible, just to hear the bell ringing.
