Neon heart, dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies

The cyberpunk good looks of the city are undeniable. It's why I came here to begin with. I was just following my lysergic navigational compass turned on by late century info-bits sprayed on my retinal sensors. For all intents and purposes, this was the end of the western lands, not just geographically but neuro-culturally. Beyond it was the ocean, much of which was still mysterious and unknown. On this terrrestrial outpost before migration, IT must be here, I reasoned, whatever it was.

The aquabus bobs up and down on the waves. I look at the lights around me, and they seem to nod. So bright and alive! After so many years, I ask myself, have I finally found what I'm looking for?

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Very beautiful the photo and the video, you were in a very beautiful place.

Thank you! It was a nice peaceful day, so I decided to record the journey. You can see the water is very calm with the shimmering reflections.

I admire not only the beauty of the lights but the variety of them forming colourful intersections. Beautiful city!

I agree! There are different kinds of lights creating a variety of subtle effects. I usually travel there during the day, but this time I was able to catch the nighttime ferry. It's only a few minutes, but it's a very cool trip.

Thank you for showing us this trip, the view is beautiful.

Spectacular. I've watched it several times. Makes me wish I could travel there. But I won't.

What are the twin lights in the sky?

Thank you! I was just going to take a minute of video, but the trip across the bay is short, so I decided to record the way there and back. There was conversation going on in the background, so I kind of like that for ambience. The trials and tribulations of navigating the Pacific ocean! 😄

What are the twin lights in the sky?

They could be the lights over the bridge. One of them is under renovation so they might have extra lights there.
