Gallery

Three AI collections, plus the Weather Almanac. A dozen lighthouses across US and Canadian seasons, a companion set of ships, skies, and instruments, and sea monsters rendered in the old styles that first put them on maps — medieval bestiaries, Renaissance charts, Victorian engravings, ukiyo-e. Generated collaboratively with Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. Real photographs from actual coasts and crossings will join the wall when the ship’s photographer files them.
