Now this is just Moscow in summer

I remember looking at an architect representation thinking, but the sun is always on the other side of the building.

There is a 35-story luxury apartment tower in my town, sold with the typical rendery renders, and the pooldeck is actually built on the NORTH side of the tower. Gets sun for maybe 15 minutes a day.

They couldn't rent all the apartments so they took a huge block of floors and started Airbnb-ing them (including allowing amenities access for the short term guests). To the great disgust of all the residents!

Trainwreck of a building.

Love how the sign "Ulitsa" changes into something unintelligible but keeps different cyrillic characters.

Diffusion models struggle with text.

Less and less these days, at least if the text is in Latin letters.

Pretty good. Compare with a real sunny day on that street.

Looks like Luebeck, Germany.

That almost looks like a scene from half-life 2

Is...is that Darth Maul on the left?
