A View Across Medieval Jerusalem

 

I originally wanted to feature a Templar knight but hotpot insists on putting knights in silly, ahistorical, wraparound helmets so I opted for an Arab lady instead. I suppose helmets are easier for it than faces...

Gulls Rock

 Mike and Su brought a cooked chicken with them. When they'd had what they wanted and the cat had had a few choice scraps I broke the carcass up and put it down the bottom of the garden for the gulls. It was gone- bones and all- in less than a minute.

No need down here on the coast to throw any waste foodstuff in the bin.

Gulls rock.

Sweet Dreams

 

When I was a kid I had a fascination with the Moai statues of Rapa Nui. At night that fascination turned into fear. What if they suddenly appeared in my bedroom and loomed over me? OK, I said to the AI image generator- show me that thing I was afraid of.  And it responded with pictures that are distinctly odd, but reassuring rather than terrifying. These Moai are benign and protective.  Would I be frightened to sleep in either of these two beds? No, not at all...

Bunny Girl

 No, nothing to do with Hugh Hefner.

But, rather, a childood dream- or nightmare- in which an intruder came up the stairs (I heard them coming. the suspense was terrible), walked into my bedroom- and was revealed to be a woman with a rabbit's head....

Once again AI has largely defused the horror.

Or has it?
