I have changed my Star Video from the Previous Star Video of Dasaprakash, Noida, India Uploaded onto Google Maps on 2025-05-15 with the new one from Meghdootam Park, Noida, India as described below.
Meghdootam Park is one of the most popular green spaces in Noida, offering a peaceful escape from the city’s fast-paced life. Widely loved by locals for relaxation, fitness, and family outings, the park features lush greenery, landscaped lawns, and walking tracks that create a calm and refreshing environment. While loosely inspired by Kalidasa’s Meghdootam, it functions today as a modern urban park with multiple options for exercise and recreation. It’s a great spot for running, casual workouts, or meeting friends and loved ones, with people of all ages engaging in fitness activities.
In the current cycle there is no change in the View count.

My star video, a screenshot of which is shown below, is of Appam being served with vegetable kurma and sweet. This dish comes from state of Kerala. It’s a short, only 15 second video taken inside the restaurant.

@rmackman’s Star Video of surf and turf dinner at Harbor House in Milwaukee, WI uploaded on August 5, 2023 showing 4,427,998 views as of May 14, 2026.
My star video shows my surf and turf meal at Harbor House in Milwaukee, WI. It is one of the nicer seafood establishments in the Midwest. It is a bright, spacious New England-style seafood restaurant Milwaukee residents and visitors love, set on the shore of Lake Michigan. Harbor House specializes in oysters, selling more than 10,000 each month and offering a different variety each day depending on what’s available and fresh. In addition to fresh fish and seafood options, the menu offers a variety of specialty dishes, from steak and pasta to sandwiches, salads, and a signature hamburger. Sunday brunch features raw bar offerings, salads, desserts, and both breakfast and lunch entrée options. Known for their view of the Milwaukee skyline, they offer a seasonal outdoor patio that features a full bar, Adirondack chairs, and unparalleled views of the lake and the Milwaukee Art Museum.
I took this video on a Samsung Galaxy S21. I don’t think it’s my best video at all. It just seems everyone was interested in my dinner when perusing what to get at Harbor House.

Caption @doni_hariadi Star Video of Kota Lama Surabaya uploaded onto Google Maps on 2026-04-18 and showing star views of 172,354 as at 2026-07-30
Kota Lama Surabaya
Replacing my previous local guides 2026 album of star videos.
Kota Lama Surabaya is an absolute must-visit for history enthusiasts and casual travelers alike. This specific spot, historically known as Willemsplein (now widely known as Taman Jayengrono), serves as a poignant reminder of Surabaya’s deeply rooted colonial and revolutionary history.
What to See
-
The “Willemsplein” Sign: The beautifully maintained wooden sign with gold lettering instantly transports visitors back to the era when the area served as a bustling town square during the Dutch colonial period.
-
The Mallaby Monument: Behind the fence sits a striking monument featuring a vintage car with its hood permanently propped open. This is a crucial historical marker, commemorating the exact location where the British Brigadier General A.W.S. Mallaby was killed in October 1945—a pivotal event that triggered the historic Battle of Surabaya on November 10th.

Capturing an unforgettable night at the iconic Teatro Gran Rex. It was a quick point-and-shoot video taken with my smartphone right from my seat, but it perfectly caught the massive energy of the crowd and the spectacular staging. The event was a live performance by Miranda!, presenting their highly successful “Hotel Miranda!” tour.
For those who might not be familiar with them, Miranda! is an iconic Argentine electropop duo formed by singers Alejandro Sergi and Juliana Gattas. Active since the early 2000s, they are famous throughout Latin America for their catchy synth-pop anthems, flamboyant outfits, and highly theatrical, energetic live shows.
Have a lot of other photos and videos from that same day uploaded to Maps as well.

Star Video by @Trachemysta of Half Dome Cables, Yosemite National Park, California, USA uploaded on 2019-08-04 showing 636,742 views as of 2026-08-09.
I had the most incredible adventure back then in the summer of 2020. The half dome is one of the most famous hike trails in California and well known in the world. In the majestic Yosemite National park, you start from the valley and hike all the way up to a beautiful rock in the shape of a half dome. More than 8 miles and a steep way up passing enormous waterfalls and encountering wildlife (including bears and deer), you eventually reach the base of the half dome, where a series of steps await to be climbed, only with the help of iron cables on each side to grab on, with a slope higher than 45º. It was hard but the views and the one-life time experience was well worth it. This video was taken when we were descending on our way back. I took this video with my already gone but faithful Huawei p20 pro smartphone, which had one of the best Leica cameras at the time. This is my second star video post, replacing my previous one that can be found here.
