I gave ChatGPT instructions to add a great white shark ready to eat the man on the paddleboard that I photographed a couple years ago while I was at the beach of Barcelona. #aiediting #photography #mediterraneansea #barcelona

I'm having fun in a FB group showing how ChatGPT can edit original photos of mine in just a few seconds. AI haters are going insane. LOL !!! Here is an original photo that I had ChatGPT remove some objects in it. See if you can see the difference. #aiphotography #photography #barcelona #aiediting

For some reason, I'm always fascinated to see this building. It's not a beautiful building but the way it's built fascinates me as a former builder of custom homes. #architecture #barcelona #photography #streetphotography

I saw these two parakeets grab some bread on the ground today and fly up into the tree so I sat and watched them eating while I was hitting the shutter button on my camera. #parakeets #birds #barcelona #photography

The government of Catalunya must be allowing these huge homeless camps to exist along the area of the new high speed train station. I'm sure they will be cleaned up when the station is ready to be used. #homelessness #camps #barcelona #photography

The new high speed train station is coming along very well now. The last time I was there, the trains were still routed on tracks were you see those new columns being built. Now the train is underground and I heard it pass underneath me while I was on the bridge. #highspeedtrainstation #photography

I was out for a long walk today and stopped by an old lumber yard that was converted into an artist's haven where all sorts of artists, musicians, actors, etc. do their work. It has two different theaters inside where they have concerts and plays, too.

This is a photo of colorful kayaks at the man-made water rapids where the 1992 Olympic canoe races were held in La Seu d'Urgell. I have two brother-in-laws who live in that village. #reflections #colors #spain #photography #kayakracing
