how this picture was made

Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-10-15 00:19Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A crowded street in Bogota with people walking in different directions, some looking up at a bronze sculpture in Simon Bolivar Park, while others pass by a group of musicians playing near a city bus, under a cloudy sky with a mix of modern and colonial buildings in the background.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A crowded street in Bogota with people walking in different directions, some looking up at a bronze sculpture in Simon Bolivar Park, while others pass by a group of musicians playing near a city bus, under a cloudy sky with a mix of modern and colonial buildings in the background. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

Conflicting published itineraries for U2's 2027 Latin American tour have listed different host cities across the region.

One itinerary names Medellín, Bogotá, Cali, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima and nine additional Latin American cities. Medellín, Bogotá and Cali are the Colombian cities included on that list.

A separate report states the tour will only include stops in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. That same outlet reported Chile will be excluded from the tour.
