Something for the Weekend - Part 187 - Charles' Tower

[davescm]

According to the stone above the door, England's King Charles (the first not the present) stood on this tower, now named Phoenix Tower, in Chester and saw his army defeated. I wonder what it looked like that day in 1645?

Very nicely done Rafael.  Anyone seeing this without the context of this thread, would be convinced that the inner stairway was real.

[Rafael Aviles]

Thank you kindly, Trevor.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, my contribution was not produced by Adobe Firefly!

[Abambo]

Is that still possible? 😁😂🤣

[davescm]

Haha - it is sad that you have to add that comment Derek.

Your image reminds me of an owl 🙂

Nice challenge. I found the clue of what you changed 🙂

[Abambo]

Nice chanllenge. I found the clue of what you changed 🙂

By @Dean_Utian

But did you find all the changes? Some simply fly away, some are graved in stone! 😁

[Dean_Utian]

OK, I have looked more closely. I now see the changes that have flown away 🙂

[Abambo]

The stone changes are what I would call “déformation professionnelle”. For more than 30 years, I corrected broken elements on the photos, fixed paint somewhere and “cleaned” the workshop. And I affixed logos where my colleagues had forgotten them, and I fixed logos, when they were utterly deformed.

The door looked like an afterthought and needed to be replaced.
