An experiment in postcard scenes.

Take an unpromising old snap of a b&w postcard card showing a snowy lane near Thorncliffe, Leek…

Run it through an AI and two Controlnets…

Not great, but not bad. However it suggests that, with a crisper and more hi-res source, much more could be done.

The AI has also picked out that there’s probably a church in the distance, seen side-on through the bare trees, something I would not otherwise have noticed.
