Back to Berkeley…
1. The Procession
After perhaps an hour, accompanied by Pomp and Circumstance, the graduates filed out of a tunnel on the north end of the stadium, walking (not particularly solemnly) behind the chancellor and a banner of Berkeley Blue and California Gold.
There were many of them. The procession went on for a very long time. And as their seats on the field gradually filled, I took a panorama photo.
(You can usually click the photos to enlarge them.)
2. Sharing the Pano
Having some time on my hands, I looked to see if I could AirDrop the pano to Trudy’s phone.
Trudy’s iPhone phone didn’t show up in the list, but there was someone else who did. I had no idea who she was, but I sent the photo to Cathy’s iPhone. It was promptly declined.
I stood up and looked around.
“Cathy…,” I said. “How could you?”
A woman sitting nearby had been paying attention to this, and she chuckled at my disappointment. I turned to look at her.
“You want a copy?” I held out my phone to show her the shot (which of course she could have taken herself if she really did). She played along.
“Sure!” she said. So she enabled AirDrop, and I sent the pano to her. It was promptly accepted.
3. An Afterthought
You know, I’m not sure I ever did send that pano to Trudy.
Sorry, Trudy. Want it now?
