Black and white. Inside the Tate Modern art gallery at Bankside by the River Thames in London, is a large sculpture, perhaps fifteen feet square, of the word "LOVE", with the "LO" on top and the "VE" below, the "O" being slanted at 45 degrees to the right. The original is by Robert Indiana. Through a wide multi panel window behind it visitors to the gallery can be seen.

Three young women, two seen from behind standing next to a sand/salt bunker near the kerb and one seen from in front sitting on a long wooden bench outside a shop window in which is a large poster with the word, "SPRING!". It's the second to-last day of the last Spring month, but this was taken earlier.

Black and white. A man stands in the open doorway of a Brick Lane fashion shop. He is very skinny and is wearing mid-calf length "shorts", well-above-the-ankle white socks, chunky black and white sports shoes, a white long-sleeved sweatshirt, a short-sleeved check shirt with a collar, and a dark beanie with a black star pattern. Painted above the doorway is the word, "HOT"...

@viticci I had an invitation to install Eney, but it requires SetApp to be on my Mac, so it was a no from me.

@viticci I'm glad you've also covered the Raycast AI. Did you know that MacPaw, makers of CleanMyMac, have been developing Eney for the Mac? I haven't read any reviews as it's only in beta, I understand, but if it's no better than Raycast's AI, then Sky will likely beat them both. At least as far as system integration is concerned.

Black and white. A tour guide is talking to a group of six tourists while holding up a paper pad showing a drawing of the actual boat that's behind him - a full-sized reconstruction of the famous Elizabethan galleon The Golden Hinde, near London Bridge. Five of the tourists at the right appear to be looking at the drawing, while the rebel on the left actually appears to be looking at the boat, or rather its figurehead, a golden hind, or deer.

A man and a woman that I've seen and photographed before and couldn't resist another photo.  The woman has shoulder-length two-tone black and brown hair and is wearing a beige jacket over a black top with a charcoal-coloured skirt (or perhaps a two-coloured dress) with black platform boots, and is carrying a small black patent leather handbag. The man is dressed as what looks like a Chinese wizard, in a red suit with baggy trousers, a red gown with white floral pattern, a type of skull cap tapering up into a twisted point, thick red-rimmed sunglasses, some kind of red and white scarf with a gold tassel at the bottom end, and has neck-length shaggy blond hair and a long goatee beard with matching moustache. Behind them is a large video screen showing a man seeming to levitate four feet off the ground at about a 45-degree angle, pointing to the left.

Black and white.  A man , seen from behind, is silhouetted in a doorway at the far end of a corridor that he's walking through with a woman in the shadows to his left. Just inside the doorway, to the right of the door, is another man who is hunched over. The light from outside has made the floor shiny. There is a row of four lit lamps halfway up the corridor, and the ceiling is above a series of seven pilastered arches. There is also a pair of heavy wooden doors standing open at the near end.

A very colourful shop in Neal Street, in London's Covent Garden area. A lady shop assistant can be seen inside the shop at the right, leaning on the counter and checking her phone while waiting for customers. Hundreds of colourful gifts fill the shelves and the walls throughout the shop. Above the windows outside are shapes made of fabric including a large eye, clouds, a daisy, and a UFO. Below the windows are six fabric cactuses standing in two light blue planters full of white-painted gravel.

A man in his thirties or thereabouts, dressed in a red jacket, black trousers, and a black baseball cap, and with a ginger beard, glasses, and an earring, with a "Getting Married" sash over his right shoulder, stops off at Trafalgar Square with his stag party, on their way via "all the bars in London" to some distant back street where he will possibly be divested of his trousers and padlocked to a lamp post. OK, I made up the last bit.

@elaterite You might already know that this is called a lucid dream. Quite a few people can do it, but a very large number of people want to be able to do it.
