I don’t have many foreign city pictures, so I went with a shot of Santa Monica Pier as my baseline.
Santa Monica Pier
I was running a wee bit short on time for this, so I went straight for uncomplicated fun (when Susan was working on this earlier, I thought she was about to throw her MacBook at something).
Disguised rendezvous
There weren’t enough elements of the Santa Monica Pier in this, so I added some other pictures to the prompt & re-ran it.
This is the re-run using a combination of 4 original pictures.
Disguised rendezvous at the Pier
I like the fun of this & this is my main picture for this week’s challenge, but I also decided to have it viewed by a real wizard using a crystal ball.
That was not quite what I wanted, so I rewrote the prompt with the real wizard viewing the rendezvous using a giant crystal ball in a steampunk room.
This early morning shot was during an unplanned overnight stay in Edinburgh??????
Looking towards Princes Street, Edinburgh
I also transformed the image into a watercolour? In the prompt, I specified the location as being Edinburgh. Giving the AI a location does change the outcome of the transformation.
Watercolour transformation of Edinburgh cityscape
The following picture uses the same baseline shot as above but without specifying the location. The transformation into a cityscape just after dawn is good, but the architecture is generic; the AI has picked up the older style architecture well from the initial image.
Watercolour transformation without a specified location
This is the picture I’m going with for the challenge, but there were a few others on the way to this one. To me, it perfectly encapsulates a daring escape from a high-security facility.
