That cow was coming down the slope towards the cyclist and had a fair bit of momentum to it - you definitely wouldn't want to be in it's way!
This was taken while doing a route called Tom and Jerry around Hayfield in the Peak District, UK.
Rockfield Bay, aptly named the field at the back of this bay was full of rocks! There is a storm coming in from the east but it missed me.
The New York Times Ethicist recently published a "ruling" on the ethics of AI generative art. He was responding to a person who wanted to use an Etsy image but was concerned the seller was profiting off the work of artists used to train generative AI. The Ethicist pointed out that artists have always stood on the shoulders of other artists, an argument that resonates with me. The image you see here is not simply the result of prompting an image in Midjourney because I made quite a few changes to it in Kira, using the Stable Diffusion plugin and using my digital painting skills and tools (like rearranging the chickens, recreating the woman in the distance, giving the man a hat etc.). But my influence on the image goes deeper. I used Midjourney's personalize parameter to generate images that reflect my aesthetic, color choices, brush work, level of detail and so on. The training was simple. I was given four thousand sets of widely diverse images and told to choose one of them. In other words, this is my unconscious "style." Unconscious because I did not deliberately tell Midjourney everything I prefer when I am painting. And in the act of grabbing from the gush of images this personalization parameter produced, I chose this image. Probably because I have re-discovered NC Wyeth who is famous for his illustrations of the old childhood novel "Treasure Island." He influences how I use illustration to tell stories. And Edward Hopper influences the mood of my work. And Norman Rockwell. Did Rockwell absorb NC Wyeth? I think so. Caravaggio gives my work its lighting. And perhaps NC Wyeth's son Andrew suffused my work. He taught me how to pay attention to the world immediately around me. And perhaps to some degree hundreds of more artists famous and obscure seen in museums, art workshops, videos and Internet images. In fact I have produced over 800 images of the Ravensway world using this amazing productive power of AI. A world that has storytelling power.

Passed this building with the colourful "coming soon" mural in the window. The rest of the facade had been stripped back, revealing layers of older paintwork, numbers and a badly faded sign at the top, from a long-vanished previous business. I love finding an old "ghost sign". Quick snap in case it gets covered over again as the new owners do it all up.
Hike at Lost Dutchman State Park, in the eastern Phoenix metro area. This shot about 2 minutes before sunrise.
With deadlines coming up,
the overwhelming numbing sensation
is oddly alarming
If only time could cease to be.

Such a cute situation of these three birds meeting each other. On the left is the goldeneye, on the right is the coot, and in the back is the teal.
I found God
I found him in a lover
When his hair falls in his face
And his hands so cold they shake
I found the Devil
I found him in a lover
And his lips like tangerines
And his color coded speak
Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets
I've got a lover
A love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, coming down
It's coming down, down, coming down
I've got a lover
And I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, coming down
It's coming down, down, coming down
I found a martyr
He told me that I'd never
With his educated eyes
And his head between my thighs
I found a savior
I don't think he remembers
'Cause he's off to pay his crimes
And he's got no time for mine

As I was leaving Fort Snelling State Park with my son this past weekend, some planes were coming in for a landing. It always fascinates me to watch these giant airplanes glide (loudly) right over our heads.
