Thanks to everyone who took part in our last 'fishy' challenge. There were some excellent ideas and images posted.
This week we have a street in Durham, with an archway through to the cathedral grounds. It was very quiet until, suddenly, through the archway came... well that is up to you to show us!
The “rules”:
To download the image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right.
Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun!

Wow - first in and only 25 minutes after I posted the challenge. That is quick!
Great idea Euan. I hope the house opposite the arch has the door open, but with a little magic anything can hapen. 🙂

We just need a large lamp-post to distract it 🙂

I love that you have used a small breed as a GIANT dog.

The tiny ones are the fiercest 😀

I have a theory that all dogs contain the same amount of energy, but in small dogs, it's more concentrated.

Going back to a previous SFTW. I think I got my two locations mixed up.

At least the street shouldn't freeze over in the winter. 🙂

Looks like a good place to get lost John. A sort of stone maze. Hah! You have given me an idea

A good Bond film chase - just what we needed over the Easter weekend!

For fun, experimenting with the Magnific.ai application using Micky Mouse as the reference image (I've added the Micky Mouse illustration to the castle so you can see how it's been used to affect the colours and design).

That's interestiing Derek. I hadn't heard of Magnific, but have now checked out the site, but it's not clear how you got affect from what I can see there as it only appears to refer to upscaling. Is a sister app to Midjourney?

There's a style transfer facility where you can include a reference image, rather like you can do now with Firefly.

Thanks Derek. I'll check it out. Where did you come across it btw? I can feel a serious case of FOMO right now 😉
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
I just came across it; I've tried it for a month. AFAICS, I think Firefly might be a better app!

It makes an interesting job of it, Derek. It is funny how it has interpreted some of the shapes, such as the manhole cover or the guttering downpipe on the building.

I feel sorry for the people living in this once quiet and quaint location 🙂
