Apple Park Visitor Center
If you ever wanted to find out about the latest Apple products, come to their store/Visitor Center in Cupertino, located right next to the Apple Park headquarters building. Here, you’ll see all Apple products, with a lot of personnel available to show you the details. There is also a selection of Apple company merchandise, which I was told is not all available elsewhere.
On either side of the store, you’ll find an augmented reality presentation of the Apple headquarters, and a café where you can contemplate a purchase, or start enjoying your new Apple toy. The augmented reality presentation is as close as you can get to visiting the company facility, as the campus is for employees and sanc...

Island Lake Hike, Desolation Wilderness, Lake Tahoe, California
Просмотров 17Месяц назад
We hiked from Wrights Lake to Island Lake in July 2010. Island Lake is in Desolation Wilderness, in a beautiful cirque, just past Twin Lakes, to the east of Lake Tahoe, California. This is a moderate hike, at fairly high elevation, so not too hot in the summer. It's a great destination for backpackers, with many nice sites, especially around Twin Lakes. #sierranevada #hike #mountainlake #mountains
2021 Caldor Fire Devestation
Просмотров 12 месяца назад
The Caldor Fire destroyed this area in mid-August 2021. We were camping at Capps Crossing on the weekend the fire started, and left not even imagining that our favorite campground will change forever in less than 48 hours. We drove along the North-South Road almost a year later, in June of 2022, and recorded the damage done to the forest. This video starts at the Mormon Emigrant Trail, a highwa...
2009 Schilthorn - Piz Gloria
Просмотров 543 месяца назад
007 has a history linked to Mürren , and especially the Piz Gloria, currently a revolving restaurant at the top of the Schilthorn, a nearly 3,000 m high mountain near Mürren. James Bond, or rather George Lazenby who played James Bond in the 1969 classic 007 movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, needed to take the two cable car rides from Mürren, via Birg, to Piz Gloria. Being a huge fan of thi...

Просмотров 1414 месяца назад
Bonjour, and welcome to my channel! In this video, I will take you on a walk through the beautiful city of Paris, France. We will start from the Champs Élysées, the most famous avenue in the world, where you can see the Arc de Triomphe, a monument to honor those who fought for France. Then we will head to the Trocadéro, a large public garden with a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower, the iconic ...
Paris, City Center
Просмотров 64 месяца назад
Paris doesn’t need an introduction, as pretty much everyone has heard of the French capital. It’s a beautiful city, and I spent a combined few months here, both as a tourist and on business. This is a video taken during one of these visits, on a wonderful summer day in 2009. Writing a history of the city in a brief description is pointless, as it would take much more space than RUclips allows. ...
Shadow Lake Hike, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California
Просмотров 295 месяцев назад
Shadow Lake is a small mountain lake just west of Desolation Wilderness, in the Lake Tahoe area of California. We hiked this relatively remote trail in the fall of 2021, and saw only a few other hikers during our adventure. There are a few campsites around the lake, looking very tempting for the next, this time backpacking, trip. Enjoy! #hike #desolationwilderness #laketahoe #sierranevada #shad...
Westerplatte, Gdańsk Old Town
Просмотров 65 месяцев назад
The fourth largest city in Poland is Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, next to Sopot and Gdynia, making a tri-city conurbation with the two latter cities. Gdansk features a beautiful old town, and is rich in history with the most recent being birthplace of Solidarity, an independent trade union organized at the Gdansk shipyards. The Solidarity movement precipitated a chain of events that eventually le...
Walk Around Central Zurich
Просмотров 76 месяцев назад
Here’s a video from a brief visit that I made to Zürich, to the area around the Hauptbahnhof, the main train station. I made a stop there in early 2017, during a long layover between flights at Zürich Airport. With a train station directly under the airport buildings, it’s super easy to hop on a train and take the 15-minute ride to the Hauptbahnof. There, you can view trains, have a meal, and g...
A Stroll Around New York City, Midtown Manhattan
Просмотров 16 месяцев назад
Here’s a stroll around Midtown Manhattan, recorded in August 2022. After waiting out a passing rain while having a bagel sandwich for breakfast, I only had a couple of hours available, and decided to visit the Grand Central Railway terminal first. Then, I headed east towards the United Nations Plaza, and next back in the direction of Park Avenue. I passed by the New York City Public Library, to...

Evening Walk in Luzern, Switzerland
Просмотров 67 месяцев назад
Luzern is a lovely small city on the shore of Lake Luzern, less than an hour by train south from Zürich. It has a charming old town, a wooden Kapellbrucke, a great location near the Pilatus and Rigi mountains, and is the home of the Swiss Museum of Transport, the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz. The latter is one of the best transport museums and is well worth a visit. We stopped here this time long e...
