Urban Gardening

 Here in Berlin we are having hot summers, and not only hot ones, but also very dry ones. It is the beginning of June, and already there are forests burning in Brandenburg, not far away from Berlin. Every summer, some people get severely ill because of the heat. 

So urban architects have been thinking about ways to cool down the city and to bring more green in. There has also been a movement called "urban gardening" which encourages not only the owner of houses but alse the people who rent flats to have gardens wherever it is possible. That also means to encourage having gardens on the tops of the houses.

Now I asked ChatGPT to give me three prompts for creating images with herb gardens, and one of those prompts was:

Generate an image of a modern, urban herb garden on a rooftop terrace. Picture sleek, vertical planters filled with an array of herbs like cilantro, dill, and sage. Integrate contemporary elements like glass panels, stainless steel accents, and urban skyline views to showcase the harmony between nature and city life

I submitted this prompt to Dreamlike AI, and the image on the left was the first of the two images. Okay, in order to put that into reality one must have a huge outside space.

Nevertheless such an image may provide inspiration for future urban gardeners or interior design people.

Rose woodcarving

Woodcarvings are something I highly appreciate. In Germany and Austria an old tradition of carving nativity figures exist which are then sold internationally. There is also a German artist called "Tilman Riemenschneider" who was famous for his wooden carved out altarpieces. 

I paint, I draw - but I could never carve. I haven't got the eye for it, not to speak of eye-hand-coordination. But with AI Art Generators I am able to carve respectively generated images with carvings on them.

I decided to go for roses, and here is the first one, a wooden carving of a rose, created with the use of Nightcafestudio. 

The prompt I submitted was:

wood carving of a rose, highdefinition, hyperrealistic, intricate

Nice, isn't it?

However I decided to go to Lexica AI and submitted this prompt:

Wood carving of a beautiful rose, hyperrealistic, highdefinition, intricate

As you may notice, there is one additional word in the second prompt: "beautiful". Now have a look at the result: In my opinion the word "beautiful" makes the image richer, more detailed,

I must say, I prefer this image to the first one.

However I wanted to find out how Dreamlike AI handels the prompt. This time I used the very same prompt:

Wood carving of a beautiful rose, hyperrealistic, highdefinition, intricate

Dreamlike generated something slightly different, as you can see in the image below.

The wooden carving is not a realistic rendering of a rose, but very detailed and decorative. It could be an ornament on a piece of furniture.

Candyland

 This is one of four images I got when I submitted "Candyland" as a prompt on Dreamlike AI. Actually I was pretty surprised that one word created so many "sweet" images. 

Maybe I should add "castle" to the prompt, as in "show me the castles of candyland"? At the moment I am a bit down with credits on Dreamlike, so it has to wait...
