A couple of things:

- the 'noon' photo is taken at night

- the '10:26am' photo shows shadows on the windowsill from the south and west - Pier 38 runs almost west->east from shore. (something on the shore reflecting light? I'm assuming the stronger shadow is from the sun). Popping the date and time into a shadow calculator shows the sun would have been positioned above the south east corner of Pier 40 from that window - which couldn't have cast either shadow. I used http://shadowcalculator.eu/#/lat/37.78196555892351/lng/-122.... to check. The 10:26 photo does look more like it was taken around noon.

So, as others have said, these are upload times not when the photos were taken.
