Here I thought it would be fun to post some speculative images of what views from the shores of Titan's methane lakes might look like.

These are AI-generated, using Midjourney with the prompt "On the shores of the methane lakes of Titan".

Wow, I've seen a lot of images on this board, but these have to be a first. I don't think they could have been imaginable in 2004....

Those are great fun indeed. I particularly like the first one and the foreground of the second. From that point on AI seems a bit confused about whether Titan is underfoot or in the sky. Then again perhaps the fault is mine for thinking too literally.

A few more attempts, two of a methane downpour on Titan, and one of Selk crater:
