Bringing the week to a close with another #epicsunset for good measure. Taken at Sunset Beach in Treasure Island, FL before back to back blows from Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the area. Those people in the foreground looking towards the sunset added a nice element, so I decided not to brush them out in post. Taken w/#fujixt3 and #fuji1680mmf4 lens. Settings: 45mm (67mm full frame equivalent), ISO 160, f/11, 1/120 in aperture priority mode with -2/3 stop exposure compensation. #sunset #floridasunsets #goldenhour #magichour #jetty #beach #rocks #water #sky #photography #landscapephotography #florida #treasureisland #tampabay #fujifilm #aperturepriority

With a forecast of clouds and rain for the next week, we decided to go out in the warm sunshine and visit the new Panorama Park on #SanFrancisco's #TreasureIsland and the sculpture "Point of Infinity" by Japanese architect Hiroshi Sugimoto. The park lives up to the name.

Point of Infinity by Hirosi Sugimoto. The sculpture is a stone and shiny metal cone that rises 69 feet into the sky, wide at the bottom and narrowing with mathematical smoothness to the top. Behind the cement plaza is a rise from the new span of the Oakland San Francisco Bay Bridge, and a few of the trees up the hill of Yerba Buena Island.

A wide shot from Signal Point Park, at the top of Yerba Buena Island. The immediate hill below is covered in wildflowers and bushes, with a street near the recent condo developments, and Panorama Park and the Point of Infinity Sculpture nearby. In the far background you can see points around the Western side of the bay —San Francisco; the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marin Headlands; Alcatraz island; Angel Island; the very flat Treasure Island (and its new condo development); and a bit of the East bay coast.
The entrance to Panorama Park, which is built on the 2 million gallon US Navy Reservoir #168 (built circa 1918.) The ramp to the park winds around these old pilings, also surrounded by native wildflowers.

Whoosh

I really, really hope that "Buried Hearts" doesn't disappoint at the end. My expectations are way too high now.

Halfway through & it is the best makjang I've watched. The only thing that makes it makjang are the circumstances (look up makjang & you'll see many have birth secrets, affairs, amnesia, illegitimate heirs, legitimate heirs challenging the rights of succession, terminal illness, etc.).

"Buried Hearts" manages a lot of these, but all the characters still feel real - not the overly dramatic fake characters you usually find in makjang.

Eagerly awaiting Disney's next Wed. drop.

Whoosh

In an effort to avoid my Korean homework for a bit, I thought I'd mention how much I'm enjoying "Buried Hearts" (AKA "Treasure Island"). With 6 out of 16 eps. aired, it's still strong.

Makjang revenge with mysteries aplenty!

Park Hyung Sik's character here made me think about his other main roles. He plays a genius in almost everything he's in. I'm curious as to why he picks genius characters.

Whoosh

"Buried Heart" (aka "Treasure Island") finally dropped on Disney+!!!

It airs on Fri/Sat, but it seems Disney+ is doing as they did with "The Judge from Hell" and releasing it on Wed/Thu(?) in the US. I didn't check until Thu so I'm not sure if they drop both at once or not.

Anyway --- The 1st episode was so great!!

I haven't seen any other works by this screenwriter, Lee Myung Hee, but her last 2 works: "Money Flower" & "Oh My Geum Bi" both have 8+ ratings on MDL (MyDramaList). I hope she can maintain the level of plot twisty-ness for the series. Such a surprise to get a big plot twist in the 1st episode!

I knew something was up, but never did I imagine what was really up! Looking forward to episode 2.

"Of Silver we have heard no more. That formidable seafaring man with one leg has at last gone clean out of my life; but I dare say he met his old [African wife], and perhaps still lives in comfort with her and Captain Flint. It is to be hoped so, I suppose, for his chances of comfort in another world are very small."
- Robert Louis Stevenson. "Treasure Island"

Long John Silver says farewell. As played by Robert Newton in Walt Disney's "Treasure Island."

"Dead Man's Chest" (also known as "Fifteen Men on the Dead Man's Chest" or "Yo, Ho, Ho (And a Bottle of Rum)") is a fictional #seaSong, originally from #RobertLouisStevenson's novel #TreasureIsland (1883). It was expanded in a poem, titled #Derelict by #YoungEAllison, published in the #LouisvilleCourierJournal in 1891. It has since been used in many later works of art in various forms.

Very cool! I do not use Gem, but perhaps at some point the #film will be available in other form/sources.

I am more of a #reader (though I particularly love good #animation,) so of course I immediately picked up on the opening parallels to #RobertLouisStevenson's #TreasureIsland, which is why I bought it and read it. A ghost story! Excellent. I have not re-read it recently - I keep telling myself to find what else #WilliamGilkerson has written!
