This is the same prompt as the previous post, but with the 'weird' filter jacked up to 2000.

I can't say what weird does to your journey through latent space on #Midjourney, but it lives up to the name.

"Technicolor travel agency"

A little homage to bibliomancy and surrealism.

I took a page from the back of Principia Discordia ("Join the Bavarian Illuminati today!"), fed it into #Midjourney, and got a prompt out with a /describe. I fed the prompt back into v6, with the addition of 'Technicolor'.

Note that you can try the same prompt with v6 and a lot of the magic is lost.

Same prompt, but #midjourney rather than #dalle3.

The difference between the two generators is now pretty large; no doubt Dalle3 is way better at a prompt which is more accurate to your description, but MJ still segues into dreamlike combinations which are more evocations.
An illustration in the style of Gustav Klimt, but less ornate, depicting a post-future Earth. The landscape features gold-tinged patterns on the ground, jagged rocks, and sparse vegetation, but with less elaborate detail. The ruins of futuristic buildings are detailed with touches of gold, suggesting lost opulence, but in a more subdued manner. A figure in a fuligin black cloak, adorned with simplified Klimt-inspired motifs, traverses this landscape. They carry a classic broadsword over their back. The red sun in the sky is surrounded by a halo of less intricate, golden designs, casting a luxurious yet eerie light over the scene.

"The Garden of Forking Paths", by Anton Gaudi.

Mixing a known architect/artist with a work of fiction has produced some of the more interesting output from genAI, and the 'Garden of Forking Paths' by Borges seemed most apt.
