    My Fan Of… this week is another rainy day on the bikes with some strong winds added for good measure. We’d promised ourselves a quick 10-mile ride to blow away some cobwebs, so we decided to head to the Forth & Clyde Canal. The day we chose started out rainy & windy but was forecast to clear up by 0900. Susan looked out & said the forecast was wrong, & it was going to rain all day; she was right.

    We wanted to get out on the bikes, though & so got our wet weather gear and set out into 20mph winds & horizontal rain? & headed to the Canal.

    We were a wee bit drookit by the time we got there

    In the Capital — Weekend Sky #121

    Hi All 👋 My latest entry for Hammad’s Weekend Sky Challenge.

    This early morning shot was during an unplanned overnight stay in 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.

    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.
