Rosemary Square (formerly CityPlace) is an upscale lifestyle center in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, along South Rosemary Avenue. Considered a New Urbanist mixed-use development, Rosemary Square is architecturally composed of the Mediterranean and Venetian elements. The 600,000-square-foot (56,000 m2)-center contains more than 60 restaurants and stores, as well as rental apartments, condos, and offices.
Opening in October 2000, the property, which constitutes several city blocks, is primarily credited for West Palm Beach's urban renaissance, which had previously been notorious for crime, poverty, and vacant and dilapidated businesses and houses.
AMC Parisian 20 and IMAX, LA Fitness, and Publix are the center's anchors. The fourth anchor was Macy's which closed in 2017. Hotspots include Cheesecake Factory, Brio Tuscan Grille, Sloan's Ice Cream, and Starbucks. Apart from shopping, dining, and cinema, the center is now at the forefront of West Palm Beach's entertainment complementing establishments located on nearby Clematis Street.
The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. School of the Arts are located within walking distance to Rosemary Square, as is the Palm Beach County Convention Center. An early-century trolleybus circles downtown between Rosemary Square and Clematis.
CityPlace opened to the public on October 27, 2000, with 31 stores and 1 restaurant opening during the first weekend. Many other stores and restaurants were expected to open by mid-December, bringing the total number of stores and restaurants to about 70. The original anchors for CityPlace were Barnes & Noble, Macy's, Muvico Parisian 20, and IMAX theater. Wild Oats Markets was also planned as an original anchor. However, financial problems halted construction in 2000. CityPlace filed suit to terminate their lease, with both parties settling a few weeks later. On August 20, 2001, Wild Oats Markets was replaced by Publix as an anchor, which opened in January 2002.
Early on, CityPlace sought to attract many high-end stores as tenants, though emphasis shifted to home furnishings during the housing bubble. By the Great Recession, the focus turned heavily toward dining and entertainment establishments becoming tenants.
In January 2017, Macy's closed 68 of its stores across the United States, including its location at CityPlace. The former Macy's building is temporarily housing Downton Abbey: The Exhibition. Related Companies submitted plans for and gained approval from the city commission in November 2018 for transforming the building into a 21-story apartment building, which would add 300-400 new residential units to CityPlace.
As part of a re-imaging effort, CityPlace was renamed "Rosemary Square" in April 2019. Related Companies intends to invest almost $550 million in the construction of new restaurants, a new mixed-use luxury residential tower, and a new hotel, as well as an office tower containing 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) of space. Some asphalt roads were replaced with gray and white pavers and converted into pedestrian walking areas.
The shopping center is the epitome of a New Urbanist mixed-use development. Most of its architecture is West European-inspired, with mainly Mediterranean and Venetian elements.
However, the CityPlace Tower constructed in 2007, and associated with the original property, is postmodern. This tower has been downtown West Palm Beach's first office development in over twenty years. Later phases of CityPlace, including Montecito Palm Beach (formerly called The Mark at CityPlace) and CityPlace South Tower, retain loyalty to the original development's architecture. Excluding these more recent additions, Rosemary Square proper contains 600 private residences.
The Harriet Himmel Theater, a former Methodist church, is located at the center of Rosemary Square. Built in 1926 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, it has undergone a six-million-dollar restoration and serves today as a cultural center. Surrounding squares, arcades, and promenades feature 2,000-square-foot (190 m2) water fountains and lush landscaping.

I used two seed images in the Editor
The pricipal seed prompt is based on generated dada poetry: generatepoem.io/dada-poem-generator/ - this is a rather long story
PROMPT:
Bellmer Dolls in a tangle of taffetaCryptid Monster Chibis waltz with whimsy,buttons pop, stitched laughter,fractured dreams of plastic whispers,and the giggle of a wristwatch—
cereal box castles,sardines in tuxedos,the clock ticks in reverse,while shadows play hopscotchon the edge of a teacup moon.
Puppet string spaghetti,tangled in a tempest of toy voices,unicorns painted in the palette of a sneeze,a banana peels away time,and jigsaw puzzles grow mustaches.
Drifting through the kaleidoscope,a raucous riot of paint splatters,the air thick with the scent of forgotten socks,and a chorus of jellybeans sing the news,while the sun juggles rubber chickens—
lost in a labyrinth of mismatched socks,the parade of the absurd,balloons float like thoughts unanchoredin a universe where laughter is the currency,and reality wears mismatched shoes.
Set on the beach and across the street from fishing charters, this upscale resort is 10 miles from the Seminole Hard Rock Casino Hollywood.
Modern rooms have marble bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers and separate tubs. They offer flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Upgraded rooms add sea views and/or balconies. Suites add separate living areas with pull-out sofas.
Parking has a fee. There's a high-end steakhouse, a waterfront sports bar and a chic poolside bar. The 2 pools with cabanas are connected by 2 waterfalls and a lagoon. Other amenities include a golf course, tennis courts, a beach playground for kids, plus a spa and a gym.

For several years now, I have been developing brick-built figures, whose proportions are intended to come closer to human anatomy than the classic, commercially available LEGO minifigures. Over time, I've developed various figures in different poses, such as sitting, standing, or kneeling. In this photographic study, I've compiled and compared the different postures of my brick-built minifigures. I deliberately omitted color to focus attention on the differences in posture.

Playing with the moon tonight and Topaz Gigapixel to double the size of the moon. Here is the 600mm moon and the 2X Gigapixel upscale. I thought it turned out pretty good considering the previous version of Gigapixel was not so great.
Southern Alberta, Canada.
This would be a really sad place to practice social-distancing, I guess...! ;)
Have a relaxing day, everyone...
As we afols know very well the proportions of the LEGO minifigures are not conform to those of a human's body.
Based on different characters, I was trying to adjust the proportions to our human body.
Another one from the old biscuit tin of ancient prints and negatives, this one showing my dad and his mum having fun at Blackpool in 1927. Photo presumably taken by grandad.

Do you ever get a special feeling when looking at a specific LEGO brick? Does the shape of it remind you of creations you spent hours creating? Does a certain minifigure give you waves of nostalgia as you hold it, bringing back the memories of the stories you created and told with it?
As I was holding the classic, unassuming, grey slope brick computer I could remember dozens of amazing spaceships, secret bases, and laboratories that were all controlled by this one brick. It might not look special, but for me, and I'm sure for thousands of other LEGO fans old and young, this brick is something truly remarkable.
I wanted to capture that feeling and turn this little brick into something as big and special as the place it holds in the hearts of thousands of LEGO fans.
This "brick-built brick" is at a 10:1 scale of the original iconic piece. Set on a bookshelf or desk, it makes a statement any collector or LEGO enthusiast would be happy with. It doesn't end there, though. Building on the power of imagination and inspired by the many possibilities this brick holds, it's not just a display piece, but hides a science fiction play set within.
The back of the brick swings open, revealing everything going on inside. Do the outside buttons control what the robots inside are doing? Do they control the computer outside? Is it a secret base designed to look like a giant computer? The possibilities are endless as two robots attend various computers within, along with a powerful looking tube core in the middle of the room. The top can also lift off to give a better view and access to the scene within.
There is one more hidden surprise. Turn the build back around and watch as the front panel of the brick swings open, revealing the design of another iconic space-themed LEGO piece - one of the classic 1x2 tile computer controls. A familiar image to many, and a piece that can be found inside the build as well.
A rough prototype using available bricks was built with physical bricks, and the heft and presence of the piece was found to be extremely satisfying. With that proof of concept in hand, the design was refined, improved, and expanded into the wondrous final product you see presented here.
With great appeal to anyone who grew up with LEGO sets that used this piece, new fans of sci-fi and computers, or those who just want to play with a secret control center inside a giant LEGO brick, this set showcases the imagination and iconic imagery of LEGO in a new way, sure to be appreciated by many of all ages.
From a historic inn, where everything said "luxury" - even the radiator.
