Thanks. I'm glad someone noticed. I put a little more effort into this one than most.
Process used:
- search for "World Town Planning Day" on https://presearch.com/search?q=World%2520Town%2520Planning%2520Day
- toggle to Images tab on that search results page
- find one that I thought would work well with buildings arranged as a Bitcoin symbol
- chose https://weirdholiday.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/world-town-planning-day-973x550.jpg and downloaded that image
- uploaded the image to claude.ai as an attachment to a conversation saying "Describe the attached image, using 1000 characters or less in total"
- Claude said: "This image shows an aerial architectural visualization or master plan rendering of what appears to be a large urban development project. The view is from above, looking across a mixed-use development that transitions from dense urban buildings to residential areas, with mountains visible in the background. The development features modern buildings with distinctive curved and terraced structures in the foreground, including what appear to be commercial or institutional buildings with green roofs and public spaces. Behind these are residential zones with both apartment buildings and what look like townhouses or single-family homes. The layout follows the natural topography of the land, with roads curving through the development. The color palette shows reddish-orange roofs in some areas, white and gray modern buildings, and abundant green spaces integrated throughout. The surrounding area transitions to natural greenery and mountainous terrain, suggesting this is either on the outskirts of a city or a planned satellite development."
- I modified that text to instead read, "This image shows an aerial architectural visualization or master plan rendering of what appears to be a large urban development project. The view is from above, looking across a mixed-use development that transitions from dense urban buildings to residential areas, with mountains visible in the background. The buildings are arranged in a way that creates the shape of a ₿ bitcoin symbol.

It's a lot of steps, but I don't usually put this much time/effort into each day's picture(s). Now that it's obvious that the price of Bitcoin will go to $1 million per BTC and beyond, I figured it's worth spending more time and effort on it now. Who knows- maybe someday my #BitcoinDayOfTheYear images will become part of history where it was obvious that I was trying to convey the good word of bitcoin to the world, even if only thru AI artwork.
