A Glimpse of Apple's Futuristic Spaceship in the Silicon Valley
We had friends over from Japan. One day we went to see some headquarters of high tech companies in the Silicon Valley. Apple Park, Apple's HQ in Cupertino, has a visitor center that also serves as an Apple store. It has a model of the main building, nicknamed "The Spaceship" because of the scale of the 4 story circular building. It measures 1 mile in circumference, and has a diameter of 461 m (1,512 ft), about the size of The Pentagon in Washington DC. You can borrow an iPad, which you can point to the model to explore the spaceship in color from a bird's eye perspective.
I processed a balanced and a realistic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
