Would you believe me if I told you our little visitor was not an A.I. creation?
The structure is real. It is sitting between where we live and Rockwall, TX. I have always wanted to something fun with it. I had to remove come commercial buildings in the back and add the "visitor". The sky, foreground and the UFO structure are original.. I also gave it a soft focus so it would maybe look a little more vintage. A fun project and I hope everyone enjoys it.
I posted a spaceship a few days ago. This is what the inside looks like... American Graffiti at its best.
~ when thinking of a title for this photo the name "sunset spirits" came to mind right away, not knowing what it meant i thought i should at least check out, after seeing what it was, i thought i would share :)
this is an AI overview . . .
"Sunset spirits" can refer to spiritual symbolism or supernatural beliefs associated with the sunset, such as feelings of closure, peace, and transition, or the idea of a thinning veil between the living and spirit worlds. It can also be interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual awakening, a fresh start, or finding a moment of reflection and gratitude. Spiritual and symbolic meanings
Closure and transition: Sunsets often symbolize the end of a day, which can represent the closing of a chapter in life, a sense of closure, and the transition to a new phase.
Cycles of life: The daily cycle of the sun setting and rising can represent the larger cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
Spiritual awakening: For some, a sunset is a moment for spiritual enlightenment, a sign that a major life breakthrough is coming, or confirmation that one is on the right path.
Gratitude and peace: Watching a sunset can inspire a sense of peace, reduce stress, and encourage gratitude for the present moment and the beauty of life.

A unique pub and building in the center of Sheffield..
Seems it used to be a nun's wash house, with tunnels underneath it that used to go from the Cathedral to the nunnery..
It's at the junction of Silver Street, Silver Street Head and Lea Croft.

This striking cylindrical structure in Pond Inlet stands out for its unconventional Arctic design. Elevated on piles to protect the permafrost, and clad in corrugated metal, it reflects the ingenuity required to build in extreme northern conditions.
The circular front opening and balcony suggest a blend of functionality and creativity, possibly serving as a residence or specialized facility. Its presence adds architectural character to the community and highlights the adaptability of construction in Nunavut’s remote environment.

Normally I'd say to leave a log building alone and it looks lovely. But I can't fault the folks who painted their log post office in the colors of the American flag.

8 Spruce Street, originally known as Beekman Tower and currently marketed as New York by Gehry, is a 76-story skyscraper designed by architect Frank Gehry in the New York City borough of Manhattan at 8 Spruce Street in Lower Manhattan, just south of City Hall Plaza and the Brooklyn Bridge.
According to its official website, at 265 meters (870 feet) high, 8 Spruce Street will be the 12th tallest residential tower in the world and the second tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere, upon the completion of One57, also in New York City. Completed in February 2011, the building was developed by Forest City Ratner, designed by Frank Gehry Architects and WSP Cantor Seinuk Structural Engineers, and constructed by Kreisler Borg Florman. It contains a public elementary school owned by the Department of Education. Above that and grade-level retail, the tower contains only residential rental units (898 in total), a rarity in New York’s Financial District. The skyscraper's structural frame is reinforced concrete, and in height and form, it bears a resemblance to Aqua, a 2009 skyscraper in Chicago.

The Tempe Center for the Arts (TCA), located at 700 W. Rio Salado Parkway, is one of the finest venues in Arizona – a jewel in the crown of a city known for its support of the arts. Plenty of parking is available to serve the center, which is just a .83 mile walk from the Mill Avenue/Third Street Metro Light Rail stop. Bus Route 48 serves the TCA from the downtown Transit Center, as well as the Light Rail stop.
The TCA is located on the southwest end of Tempe Town Lake and resides in a beautifully appointed 17-acre lakeside art park developed by Design Workshop, a Tempe landscape architecture firm.
The strikingly magnificent TCA, Designed by Tempe-based Architekton and award-winning Barton Myers Associates of Los Angeles, houses a state-of-the-art, 600-seat proscenium theater, a 200-seat studio theater and a 3,500 square-foot gallery.

The Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, located in the bustling Shinjuku district of Tokyo, stands as a stunning symbol of modern architectural innovation. Completed in 2008 and designed by Tange Associates, this iconic skyscraper redefines Tokyo’s skyline with its sleek, cocoon-inspired design. Rising to a height of 204 meters (669 feet), the building's unique form and lattice-like exterior symbolize growth and learning, befitting its role as a vertical campus housing three educational institutions: Tokyo Mode Gakuen (fashion design), HAL Tokyo (IT and technology), and Shuto Ikō (medical training).
The tower’s architectural brilliance lies in its blend of aesthetics and functionality. The elliptical shape minimizes shadows cast on the surrounding area, while the glass and aluminum latticework not only enhances the building’s visual appeal but also reduces heat absorption. The structure is as environmentally conscious as it is striking, with design elements that prioritize energy efficiency.
What sets the Cocoon Tower apart is its departure from traditional block-like educational buildings. Its futuristic design represents Tokyo's constant push toward innovation and creativity. Situated amidst Shinjuku’s towering office buildings and bustling streets, the Cocoon Tower adds a touch of elegance and artistic flair to the urban environment.
Visitors can marvel at the tower from various vantage points in Shinjuku, making it a favorite subject for photographers and architecture enthusiasts alike. The Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower encapsulates Tokyo’s spirit: a harmonious blend of tradition, progress, and visionary design.

The lack of washrooms at the top of the Peak meant I had some time to walk around the surrounding, and I chanced upon a couple taking a selfie as the setting sun creates a warm, glow on the Peak's building.

This is the Holiday Inn 3D Model I made, and I even modeled the old vintage Holiday Inn neon sign from the 1960's! It's super high res all on its own. Its also animated and has 400 lights. The Building and grounds are nearly complete Let me know what you think! (Looks best in super high res 3000+ x 2000+ ...
This project will take 3-7 years of modeling/texturing. This city will be used for modding in games, as well as the comic I am designing. All Models are high Resolution meshes. These Buildings are real-world creations, some models of real-world shops/stores are new architectural designs by myself.
Visit www.tgeweb.com for soon to be released new renderings. (I will post more here as well, but my website will have more in depth coverage on this project. I'm designing the webpages for the 3D city now).
