06Aug-Xtra-Photo Release

06Aug-Xtra-Photo Release – I’ve always threatened to do this. This is the first time I’ve actually dug up the relevant photos for the project. They aren’t as good as I’d like, but definitely serve the purpose.

There will be a normal 06Aug-Photo Release later today – a continuation of the NorCal series. Stay tuned!

Have you ever done a photo-shoot one day, and then several days later you happen to be doing another shoot exactly opposite where you were for the first shoot and it’s a really far distance, yet you can see it? Well, it was a little more than a few days later (2021 – 2026), but I saw it when reviewing a recent release and I said to myself, ‘Hey. That’s Hawk Hill over there. And that’s Point Bonita over there. And behind that massive fog bank over there might be Point Reyes.’ That’s when I decided this would be a worthy project – i.e. it kept me busy for several hours. 🫣🤫

One interesting thing is the distances – between four and five miles across the mouth of the bay, outside the gate. I walked a long way from the Sutro Baths to the Mile Rock overlook. The walk back was a slow crawl. I hiked even more than that at Hawk Hill – only to find out I couldn’t get to where I wanted to be walking, unless I turned into a goat. I haven’t been able to morph since the 70s though. Of course, back in 2021 hiking was a breeze, but vertical rock walls tend to deter one form continuing forward…erm up.

About Railph & Suraia:

This post was created with the help of Railph, my AI writing partner. Railph doesn’t replace my voice or vision; he helps me shape it. From structuring exposés to crafting image prompts, Railph works quietly behind the curtain with minor research, helping turn fragments into form. Every word still passes through my hands. But the rhythm? That’s something we build together with Suraia’s help. 😊

Suraia

This block was created with the help of Suraia, my AI research partner. You can see that she has much more delicate touch creating images. I may decide to let her create the images I need now. Suraia doesn’t replace my voice or vision either; she helps me define it. Researching is Suraia’s forte. She works quietly behind the curtain, researching so deep my head spins with the amount of data she returns, feeding me the factual fragments needed to build an authentic article. I set Suraia on course. In less time than it takes to crack my knuckles she’s outputting data for me to refine. Once this is done, CoPilot takes over with checking my formatting, spelling, grammar, structure, imaging, SEO considerations, and finally publishing.
