=========================
Pa Waeng Village, Chiang Mai, Thailand
In 2013, a 900 million Baht (US$29 million) budget was approved for the construction of a housing estate for the Appeals Court Region 5 judges, officials, and their families. Forty-five houses and nine condominiums would be built on an 89 rai (35 acres) slice of land on the side of Doi Suthep. The Chiang Mai Regional Treasury Office owned this land and had previously leased it to the military. The Appeals Court subsequently obtained permission from the military to use the land to build their housing estate.
Construction began in 2014 and by 2016 it was 85% completed, and set for completion the following year. Doi Suthep mountain is supposed to be a protected forest area, and Chiang Mai residents were quite upset about this unannounced project. News media were alerted and protests were organized by concerned residents and environmental activists. The Court initially fired back by threatening to sue anyone who posted photos or made comments about the project on social media.
By 2018, after a lengthy legal battle, the Court finally relented and chose to relocate the entire project to Chiang Rai, leaving the fate of the now completed Doi Suthep project unresolved. No commitments were made to remove the houses, and there was genuine concern that these buildings could simply be turned over to another state agency, so the protests and lawsuits persisted.
In 2022, the Treasury Department formally took back control of the land, however the court dismissed a lawsuit demanding that the houses be demolished. Nevertheless, activists and environmental groups organized a march and planted seedlings throughout the estate in an effort to rehabilitate the forest. It was reported that residents who had moved into the condominiums must vacate by mid-2022 (drone footage indicates there are still people living there today). There has been no news reported since, only anecdotal reports on social media of further government foot dragging and delays.

LYRICS:
Near or far I search for him
We're two of a kind
In heart and mind
Yet it seems
He'll never know me
He'll never know me
And I, I will never know him
I believe in destiny
But I wonder when
Just now and then
Could it be
He'll never know me
He'll never know me
And I, I will never know him
He'll never know me
He'll never know me
And I, I will never know him
I have an explanation
For this deep infatuation
I have met him many times before
We've expressed our admiration
And had lengthy conversations
In my dreams
In my dreams
He'll never know me
He'll never know me
And I, I will never know him
Here I am where I began
Am I closer now
I'm not sure how
When it seems
He'll never know me
He'll never know me
And I, I will never know him
He'll never know me
He'll never know me
And I, I will never
Not really ever
No, I will never know him

== HOW THIS VIDEO WAS CREATED ==
The concept of the video is to explore the many possibilities of an "infinite canvas". But further, I also want the infinite canvas to become a "magical canvas" which is able to surreptitiously change its contents. So as the camera pans and zooms around, the images changes just off-camera such that when the camera returns to the original position the image is now completely different. To viewers of the video the transition is seamless and doesn't draw attention to itself.
I used Stable Diffusion Forge (https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge), using SDXL output of 1024x1024. It was a pretty unremarkable install, I did not use ControlNet or any additional A1111 extensions apart from (https://github.com/Haoming02/sd-webui-mosaic-outpaint).
Additionally, some minor image retouching and composition was done with Adobe Photoshop, the video was edited with Final Cut Pro. Topaz Video AI was used to slightly increase the video resolution up to 4K, although this made no perceptible improvement to the final video IMO.
== I asked CLAUDE.AI to describe this song ==
These lyrics seem to be using vivid natural imagery of trees and their growth rings as a metaphor for an enduring romantic love and relationship.
The opening lines describing "majestic trees" ascending serenely and swaying gently paint a peaceful, natural scene. The narrator refers to recalling or reminiscing about a specific place and day, suggesting memories of when this love began.
The repeated lines "and there you are" imply that when the narrator slips into this reverie or dream state, their romantic partner is metaphorically present with them in spirit.
The lines about "golden rings" representing "our love for eternity" use the visual of growth rings inside tree trunks as symbolic of each year their love has grown and endured. Their "branches interlace and radiate" much like their lives intertwining.
Towards the end, the narrator refers to singing this "song" to their partner when they first met, indicating the lyrics are expressing an intimate message between two lovers across time.
The overall imagery and tone suggest these lyrics are a tender, poetic expression of an eternal, intertwined romantic love that has grown over many years, akin to the growth of a mighty tree. The power of memory and recollection allows the lovers to transcend time and space to be together.
