I have created two Collections of A.I. generated images and posted them on the Fine Art America/ Pixels website. They have been well received with good comments and likes although to date no sales have emerged. Still early days and I am hopeful.
Possibly my absolute favourite city as a travel destination is Seville in Spain, a place we have visited annually for the last five years, so much to see with its beautiful Cathedral and over 150 churches, the stunning walk along the riverside, the superb Plaza De Espana, numerous great bars to have a refreshing drink and some tapas or restaurants to sample Andalusian cuisine. I can’t wait to return again.
Seville is the capital of Andalusia and the province of Seville. It is situated on the lower reaches of the River Guadalquivir, in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
As I indicated in my original post while there is still a place for traditional style cameras and lenses the advances in technology means that camera phones and other devices produce exceptional quality images and opens up the wonders of photography to many people. Abbies images attached to her post demonstration that quality.

Another of my favourite photography travel destinations involves a short train journey of less than two hours to Dublin the Capital of the Republic of Ireland. I choose using the train as being a pensioner I qualify for free public transport on both buses and trains across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Dublin is a bustling city with so much to offer on a day trip, a short break or a longer stay as a base to explore both the city and the surrounding countryside.
Must see places in the city include the many churches and cathedrals, shopping particularly Grafton Street and Saint Stephens Green Mall, the Guinness Storehouse tour ( an interactive experience telling the history of Irelands national drink, the chance to learn how to pour the perfect pint, before sampling the product, great value tour ending in a roof top circular bar offering 360 degrees views over the city and of course another pint ), the Temple Bar area with its reassuringly overpriced restaurants and bars, great theatres and concert venues ( naturally where I first saw Riverdance, wonderful plays and concerts such as Michael Buble or Paul Simon), sports like football ( soccer in America) rugby watching Ireland at the Aviva Stadium or Gaelic sports at the magnificent Croke Park, ( BTW Croke Park also stages concerts and is where with over 80000 others I saw Michael Buble with support from the fantastic Emile Sande. ), Dublin Zoo with a great collection of animals to observe and learn about and so many other things that make it a must see place for any bucket list as you enjoy and experience Irish hospitality.
Part three of my Favourite Photography Travel Destinations on the city of Las Vegas takes night time images of the Bellagio and Caesars Palace Hotels, the New York New York Hotel and the Paris Hotel and Planet Hollywood Hotels and converts the original colour images to classic monochrome images.
Part two of my post on Las Vegas features night time. Vegas really buzzes at night with spectacular light shows in Freemont Street and at many of the hotels along the Strip particularly the amazing nightly water fountains display at the Bellagio Hotel, set to music a much see experience.
A very different favourite travel destination is Las Vegas, a city that never stops and offers so much variety whether on the Strip or the old part of town around Freemont Street. By day explore the wonders of the many hotels, by night enjoy world class entertainment, I have seen Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey and Cirque Du Soleil to name a few. As mentioned Freemont Street is another world with its light and music displays, overhead zip line and its many bars, restaurants and casinos or just a great place to people watch.
Colloquially referred to as Vegas the city of Las Vegas is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada and the seat of Clark. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife Most of these venues are located in downtown Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip.
Part one of three, daytime, night time and monochrome.

As a follow-up to my Yosemite post I have taken the featured images and converted them to monochrome images that I feel have a classic timeless feeling to them.
Another of my favourite photography travel destinations is Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Yosemite is internationally recognized for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, groves of giant sequoia trees, lakes, mountains, meadows, glaciers, and biological diversity. Almost 95 percent of the park is designated wilderness offering spectacular landscape and superb wildlife photography opportunities.
