    My current Historic Scotland Series takes a lot more work to write & edit so that I can do justice to this fantastic country I am proud to be a part of. Work last week turned into a 6 day marathon with more of the same this week, not allowing me the time I want to spend on my Fan Of… posts.

    The next post in the Historical Scotland series will be the promised “Poets Path”, now on July 22nd.

    Until then, here are the first two posts in the series in case you missed them.

    We’re in Ayr for the next series of WWE, starting with the River Doon. The river runs through Alloway, the birthplace of the renowned Scottish poet Rabbie Burns. It features in his famous poem “Tam o’ Shanter” & is the setting for his lesser-known “The Banks O’ Doon.”

    A couple of shots of Loch Lomond & The Maid of the Loch

    • Loch Lomond
    • Maid of the Loch

    I did some AI transformations of the Loch & paddle steamer (see carousel). In all the transformations, it’s mainly the Maid of the Loch & foreground that has been transformed & the background mountains left very natural (apart from the 1st Art Deco one). The styles are Steampunk, Cyberpunk, Art Deco & Baroque.

    I think my favourite transformations are the Art Deco ones, particularly the first, for their elegance & simplicity; what about you?

    This is a fun challenge that no one hosts, so if you want to participate, just post a photo.

    In keeping with my Historic Scotland Fan Of… Series, this is a wicker statue of Rabbie Burns that can be found in the small holding next to the cottage where he was born
