Imladris was also known as "Rivendell" in the J.R.R. Tolkien mythos. Interestingly, both The Hobbit and LotR used this Elven refuge as a key staging-point, but somehow it felt like I was discovering it afresh, each time. (are you taking notes, Peter Jackson & Disney?)
I'm also a little sheepish to admit that all the lovely pieces here are, to the best of my determination, AI-created! (damnit, but they fooled me at first)
Ahhhh, so what the hey-- let's empty out this drawer and move on. Now, the reason I chose to lead with the above is because we'd been sorta talking about Tolkien's stuff recently, and the above piece reminded me a lot of his early illustration work (yes, he was also a pretty-decent artist who worked in a 'turn-of-the-century' style).
Okay then, the following might be a bit random, but--

Another stained-glass style lighthouse, sorta-kinda.

As someone who used to sail a bit, I love these. Of course, being AI-generated, there are a slew of similar pics out there, for better or ze wurst.

San Francisco streets, credit to MidJourney specifically!
I'd say hold on to your hats, though! In retrospect, there's a bunch of art here that helps explain its origins, but in future? I would say all bets are off. *gulp*
(i.e. AI-art will doubtless keep improving, so stuff like this which fooled me initially but which I later managed to bust, will likely bust ME, in future)
