Looks like Monument Valley. Google identifies it as such.

Totally blurred – Can AI rescue something as bad as this ? Open Talk March 16, 2024, 4:10 p.m.

Used Topaz Photo AI on autopilot

Many thanks too for this!

Of the three replies I would class this as the best overall result so far, because not only are the faces improved but also all the other details are sharper and have more details and contrast too. The saturation, warmth and brightness have also all been tweaked for the whole image. So the overall impression looks very good considering the terrible input that you started with.
However,
In the version from Topaz AI from sybersitizen where he concentrated on "just the faces", "his" resulting faces are definitely better than from this autopilot version, with even less blur and even more details.

I suppose the best result would be a combination of those two Topaz AI results :-)

Thanks for showing us what Topaz AI can do.

This image has been also processed with AUTO tone in LR classic before sending to Topaz.

Star Wars Lego

As a serious AFOL (adult fan of Lego) I am intrigued about this. Where did you see this build? Is it your own?

This was a Lego exhibit called Lego Land in Atlanta GA in 2015. In a month we will have lego museum opened. Hope to take some more pictures. Later I can post some more pictures if so desired.

Never forget. Never again.

Until the victims become the perpetrators...

Over 6,000,000 were killed during WWII and now you call them a perpetrators.

Are you saying the actions of certain Europeans (not just Hitler and Germany) in and around WWII justify the way so many Israelis (not all) treat the Palestinians???

What one has to do with another. This memorial is in the memory of Jews killed in WWII.

This dragon sculpture has been made with live plants.

Where is this? I can't look at it without thinking of Jeff Koons's "Puppy."
There's a satisfying greenness that dominates everything. I like your selection of angle that makes it clear that we have plants growing on the top of and beneath the overhanging wings. A neat gardening trick. The dragon engages by looking directly at us. Perhaps he's friendly? Perhaps?
I'd remove the small slice of tree on the left hand edge.

This was in Atlanta Botanical Garden.
