Final Approach

I was on an overnight in Washington DC so I decided to go take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms. Eventually I was walking along the Potomac River and airplanes were flying by to land at Reagan National Airport. I thought it would be cool to get a photo of an airplane flying by through the Cherry Blossoms but I was foiled! I got the Cherry Blossoms but couldn’t get a decent airplane shot at the same time. I got this Southwest 737 a few minutes later at a different angle but I couldn’t let ChatGPT have all the fun inventing photos that didn’t actually happen so fired up Photoshop. One airplane, a photo of Cherry Blossoms and another sky later and I was pretty pleased with myself.

I asked Toby what he thought and he just smirked and said, ‘I could have - oh, I meant ChatGPT, could have done better.’ I’m not sure if he was implying that he is ChatGPT or not but I think I’ll need to restrict his access to electronics from now on.
