Viewed From Above — Lens-Artists Challenge #291

·

Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Patti: Cityscapes.

Often I see cityscapes from ground level, amongst the maze of hustle & bustle; it’s often refreshing to get above it all for a different view.

These first shots are of Los Angeles, seen from the Griffith Observatory.

If ever you visit Glasgow, here in Scotland, it’s well worth seeking out the Lighthouse (just off Buchannan Street). Not only does it house an exhibit by world-renowned architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it has a tower that can be climbed to gain panoramic views over the city.

The following cityscape pictures are AI-generated ones that I built in Hot Mods in response to my wife’s digital art challenge — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies: Romantic Rooftop Rendezvous.

I used the Glasgow pictures above as the baseline for the prompt engineering.

    Great selections. I love the Glasgow series especially, and the AI would make Disney jealous, IMO.

    At some point, I’m hoping to do a cruise around the British Isles. I especially want to visit Scotland and Ireland, there are so many interesting cities there, I know the cruise itinerary will leave me wanting more.

    I have some very similar pictures from the roof of the Lighthouse, but sadly it is now “temporarily” closed.
