The inevitable sequel to More Bangalore Sunsets, brought to you again by leaving a camera on the window of the Shangri-La Hotel.

Time lapse of sunset over Lviv in Ukraine. Shot from the Premier Hotel Dnister at the top of Ivan Franko Park.

San Francisco gets a lot of fog in the summer. This brief time lapse, shot from Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands shows just how much.

Time lapse of sunsets from Calgary, Banff, Shuswap Lake and Vancouver in Canada (Alberta and British Columbia).

4K time lapse of the Milky Way over Jasper in Alberta. Shot on July 5 and 6 2024. Sony A7C / 20mm f1.8 G. Post processed in LRTimelapse, Lightroom and Resolve. Music from Stable Audio.

Timelapse of the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse. This was shot from Chicken Ranch Beach in Inverness, California where the eclipse was partial. This is one of the last places you would expect the weather to cooperate, but conditions were perfect. Sun closeups shot on a Sony A7C with the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 and an ND5 filter. Sun tracking shot from the beach is from an Insta360 X3.

Timelapse of Miami from South Beach. One cloudy night and then a nice sunset. At the end you can see a night departure of the Icon of the Seas, the new largest cruise ship in the world.

My poor street has had the works over the past few years. PG&E upgraded the gas lines. Then everything got ripped up for new water mains. We got two new poles. And then new sewers. I'm a little surprised the houses are still standing.

Over the last couple of months the train tracks for the L Taraval have been replaced. They're only two years younger than me, but I'm happy to report that they looked in much worse shape. Here's a time lapse of the whole process:

You'll see that they opened a chasm right in front of my garage early in the project and the plan called for it to be almost the last hole to fill in at the end. I'd be more excited if the L Taraval went anywhere useful. When I moved into my house it stopped right in front and then whisked you quickly downtown. Since then that stop was removed, and then the L terminated at West Portal to make room for M and N people and has been replaced by a bus for the duration of the pandemic and track replacement service.

With perfect comedic timing we also just got a letter from PG&E saying that they now need to dig everything up all over again. Probably we need medium rather than high pressure?

Update: here's a time lapse of the L Taraval running from West Portal to the Zoo.

I have a tradition of making a time lapse of San Francisco on New Year's Eve. This year I focused on the Embarcadero:

The time lapse opens with a view of the Bay Bridge from Cupid's Span in Rincon Park. Then behind the Ferry Building for two departures and one arrival. Next is a view of downtown from the middle of Pier 7. From there some Embarcadero proper from the perspective of the glass tiles looking towards the Exploratorium and then looking across the street at Coit Tower and the Transamerica Pyramid from Pier 35. After that we have the Richmond Bridge visible behind Alcatraz and Angel Island and the SkyStar Wheel in its new home, both shot from the end of Fisherman's Wharf. Finally the Golden Gate Bridge with some brave swimmers in the foreground at Aquatic Park. This is just past the Embarcadero but I broke the theme a little to get all three bridges.

A time lapse video of the Hunter's full moon of October 28, 2023 with Jupiter and three Galilean moons rising right behind it. The photo above shows the moon with Jupiter below and to the right. The video has close ups of both.
