That makes perfect sense. The photo I saw, dated 1971-ish*, was Wiltshire I think.
Salvador Dali's The Persistence of Memory (attached) becomes The Persistence of Keeping To Booked Time...
Brilliant!
Fantastic G!
China?
Yes. It is a photo of Shenyang University (blue roof building and associated buildings stretching back to the apartment blocks). A young(er) Topological used to live in one of the towers with the white outside walkways in the centre of the photo when working at Shenyang University. My apartment was on the 10th floor of the tower that has the phone mast type thing in front of it.
I really like that vista. Looks like how a very developed Birmingham East side might end up.
When I glanced at the first line of that post, I thought that you were referring to a new tunnel through the Southern Uplands to reduce the curvature, distance and gradients on the WCML between Beattock and Carstairs!
I think you're onto something, there!When I glanced at the first line of that post, I thought that you were referring to a new tunnel through the Southern Uplands to reduce the curvature, distance and gradients on the WCML between Beattock and Carstairs!
Nice image though!

I assumed this was another step in the tale of young Chariot after his French escapades. I was to remark that he had found himself 2 young ladies to travel the canals of North Wales and Cheshire with.Intentional AI slop. In real-life, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct has no railway beside it - but I moved Cefn Viaduct a mile down the River Dee's valley. Which do you prefer: real, or virtual?
(If you're curious where the tillerwoman's partner is: he's in the aft lavatory, laying a bit of canal ballast; just like the real thing.)

My text prompt included unevenly-laid rails on the loop (black loco), Gemini seems to have struggled a bit with perspective. The rails are uneven but it gives off an illusion of a narrowing track gauge.
The rusting hulk of the vertical boiler steam loco, came out a bit too big.
Fascinating find from the archives. All these years, I thought a Boat Train was something completely different.
That's like a Cuneo painting isn't it?
Funny you should say that. I asked Grok to give one of my Ffestiniog photos an art treatment in the style of Cuneo:That's like a Cuneo painting isn't it?
I wonder if you could get it to add a mouse somewhere...?
...and I spy the mouse, and it's an albino for a change.
It was interesting, because for a long time they could not turn the boat around when it reached the railway. This led to great excitement in the 1970s when the team from Liverpool were finally facing their Waterloo.
....and with a class 1 headcode no less!
Good spot.....and with a class 1 headcode no less!
Imagine the sadistic person who's planted tall bushes at the beer-garden's perimeter, thwarting sightings or photos of the trains!
