Coolest start to the Sunday morning walk this fall. I forgot to get up a bit earlier due to the time change and missed the full darkness. There is the faintest bit of fog.

This is an old image I created a few years ago. I have been playing with AI to describe images. The version I have been using is fairly good at 'seeing' the image and getting most details. But the stories it writes are not very good. Some of the elements it comes up with make me laugh.

A composite of a sign with a grackle with neon lighting with the word 'GRACKLE', an airstream trailer with a couple street art overlays, a lit street light and an old yellow pickup truck. The backdrop is a large Rocky Mountain and all the other parts sit atop a green grass lawn.

Tonight was only a 20 minute wind down before bedtime. This is made up of 4 of my images from around Austin, TX all taken with the same camera over the last couple weeks.

An assemblage of 4 of my photos. The background scene is of Palm park playground with the downtown skyline with a bunch of multi-color 8 sided dice falling down in front. There is also a mechanical armadillo in the lower left of frame on the side of the playground. There is lettering from a newspaper over the entire image.

I like to make panoramic photos. Many times I do not have my tripod & wing it hand held. Photoshop has gotten impressively adept over the years at stitching them together. But every once in a while Photoshop goes full Picasso on it. I think I love this result better than the real 6th St.

A surrealistic Picasso-esque version of a panoramic of 'Dirty Sixth Street' in Austin, TX. There are various store fronts, bars, and hotels all connected at odd angles.

Very warm humid start to my Sunday morning walk around Austin, Texas today. Stopping for a coffee at Revolución.

Upper half of frame is the downtown Austin skyline in the background. The lower left two thirds is a building with a fading mural of Historic AUSTIN Texas. In various fonts and boxes in blue, reds, and yellows.

Most of the background is old buildings mostly of brick. The the bottom quarter of frame is street pavement. Connecting the tow parts is a concrete barrier with large swaths of color at various angles. These are the new concrete barriers on historic dirty 6th.

Background is a large wall with a terracotta pattern that sort of looks like bricks that have several round holes in them. There are two large globes of light hanging from the top of frame. At the bottom of frame is a bar with various coffee house paraphernalia, including three bright yellow espresso heads. A barista with medium beard is concentrating on intricately pouring milk from a pitcher into a large yellow cup.

A round white marble table top with a large coffee cup and saucer with an intricate set of hearts in latte art on top. My black daily camera with black strap is on the table in the back.

In the center of the frame is big ugly vehicle stopped at a stop light with a sign 'E CESAR CHAVEZ ST'. The vehicle has a large label of 'TOYOTA' in the center of its back. BUT, the vehicle is obviously a Tesla Cyber Truck.

I often like to go back a few years in my photo library to see what was happening on the current date. Here is what I found from 5 years ago on 2020/06/17. Chris Rogers working on his, at the time, new mural, also another piece that matched.

A street sign at very left shows that image is on 800 E 4TH ST. Majority of frame is taken up by a very large mural with black, purple, blues, and some red orange at bottom. Top has "WE CANT BREATHE" in large letters with a purple human heart in between the CANT and BREATH. Just below the words, taking up a third of the Frame are images 7 black people killed by police. On the bottom is a scene a skyline, with horse men, burning buildings and a kneeling football player. In the bottom front center is a man (Chris Rogers, Artist) wearing a white t-shirt looking at the audience holding up his paint brush.

A dark green and some white on the sides old metal building in the background. A chain link fence fills the mid ground. a large rusty metal power pole is on the front right in focus. Pasted on most of the pole is a white partially torn and stained paper with a hand drawn face-mask with "I CAN'T BREATHE" hand written on the mask. Below the mask is written #BLACKLIVESMATTER

A beautiful start of the day for my Sunday morning walk around Austin, TX. Few people at the start. As the city awakens I saw more dog walkers and then mothers with their children heading to coffeehouses and cafes.
