When we popped over the border yesterday, passed The Aqueduct Inn, near Llangollen, named after the world's tallest aqueduct, the Pontcysyllte aqueduct, there's a mural on the pub wall of a dragon walking along with some narrowboats behind. Stuart challenged me to do similar with something like "Bet you could Midjourney that". Well kind of. For some reason, Midge gets aqueduct and viaduct confused and kept putting trains on it, so I really had to fiddle around with the prompts, then, of course, my dragon disappeared, the bridge turned red with the dragon and all sorts of weird goings on. I ended up using parts of 3 images and codged them together in PS.
Anyway, a friend of mine is an author and we bounce of each other. Sometimes I'll make images to go with his stories, other times, like today, he sees one of my pics and writes a story.
So, today's is this if anyone would like a read. https://lazaruscarpenterauthor.com/2023/06/12/midge-the-dragon/
Pic included is the original mural on the pub. Oh, and for the record, I HAVE walked all the way across it - photographic proof hahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Narrow path, people walking in both directions, got a bit scary at times. Choice of falling in the canal (yes, boats travel across too) or pressing up against those railings hoping they don't give way and you fall about 125 feet down!! Although it was quiet when I took these, there were loads of people on it when we did this.
Views are pretty spectacular up there
