"Busdriver, better turn left here

"Busdriver, better turn left here." ...

This black-and-white image captures a bustling overcrowded urban street scene viewn from a bus window. The bus stands about 50 meters from the crowded street, and is about to turn left. The street is lined with multi-story buildings, many of which have shops or businesses on the ground floor. A trike is waiting in front of the bus. There are tram tracks embedded in the cobblestone road. Pedestrians are walking along the sidewalks on both sides, and the street is crowded with people. Overhead, electrical wires for trams or trolleybuses are visible. (with help of Mistral.ai)

#silentsunday at Porto, near Farolim de Felgueiras. ...

A young person / teenager fishing from a concrete pier or breakwater extending into calm blue ocean water. The individual is standing on the edge of the concrete structure, holding a long fishing rod that extends out over the water with the line cast into the sea. The person is shirtless, wearing dark shorts and white shoes. The ocean stretches to the horizon under a clear, pale blue sky, creating a serene seascape. The concrete platform provides a stark geometric contrast to the natural curves of the water and horizon line. (with help of claude.ai)

A seagull in flight against a clear blue sky. The bird's wings are fully extended, showcasing the white and gray feathers with black wingtips. The seagull's head is white with a yellow beak. In the background, there are some buildings and a crane, indicating an urban or coastal setting. The sky is mostly clear with a few scattered clouds. The overall scene captures the bird in mid-flight, emphasizing its graceful movement. (with help of mistral.ai)

Little more progress on this Porto scene tonight. Kinda in the ugly phase right now where I block in a lot of the big shapes but it should start coming together pretty soon.
