This week's photo is a typical southern Ontario view taken on Highway 28 between Port Hope and Peterborough. It's just a grab shot while we were driving, using my Pixel 8 Pro's 5x zoom.
The genesis of this picture is interesting. The original image was better composed but had a bluyry fence post (blurred by the car's motion) in the foreground. It was seriously distracting.

I used Google Photo's integration of Gemini to edit the photo. It was an awkward processs because it's not supported on the desktop. I had to use my phone and though the Pixel 8 Pro is a big phone, it's not big enough for fussy photo editing. I managed to remove the fence post, but only by removing and replacing the entire foreground. The results were, shall we say, mixed. The immediate foreground wasn't too badly done, but farther back closer to the trees, there were obvious digital artifacts.

I guess I could have tried removing the post and associated wires with Photoshop but I didn't have the time to play with it. So the cropped photo is what I ended up with.
