Batumi, Georgia

The contrasts here are what caught my eye when I took this photo.

linear : organic

abandonded : inhabited

dark : bright

dull : vivid

so much life in such emptiness.

This is the carport of a house that burned down years ago.

So it turns out the pedestrian bridge is closed from now until May? I think they're doing construction on it. Such a bummer, I wanted to show it to Hannah.

So we had to walk across this monster. I hate the fact cars are zooming right by you the whole time.

At the white temple of Chiang rai, Thailand

This is what's behind me when taking pictures of the old houses at Hunstad.

Speaking of contrast...

Boxing Day Torch Walk, using a quick shutter speed I tried capturing just an instant of the flame

Nicely contrasting clouds in the sky over Minami Shimizusawa in Yubari.

I am always drawn to contrasting colors. Red and white, blue and white, black and white, dark blue and light blue, etc. I just love the distinction of each color being showcased. Ric repainted our mailbox this summer to his college colors of Crimson and Gray. Well, the crimson has made it on the box but the gray is out there somewhere waiting to be artfully applied.

In the meantime, I will enjoy the crimson box with white letters.

Contrasting

1976 2002 and a 1978 Lincoln Mark V. The Lincoln was a good 4-5 feet longer.

Icy rocks at Bains Gap Waterfall.

I haven't taken a photo I like this much in ages. It looks better large.

Some fireworks I saw outside my house on the 4th of July.

I'm supposed to be drawing attention to my subject using contrasting colours. I'm not sure that I'm managed this, but I do like this duck's beak!

Pacific National depot at Cootamundra

A basic netural set in contrasting black & white. A set that you can make yours by adding your favorite colors.

Contrasting leaf shapes: *Myriophyllum aquaticum, PARROT'S FEATHER, *Ludwigia peploides ssp. peploides, CALIFORNIA WATER PRIMROSE and *Typha angustifolia. NARROW-LEAVED CATTAIL. . Delta of Corte Madera Creek. Sector 30 E3.

I think this is one of my best pictures yet. Maybe it's not the best composition, but I love the contrast! It's an icicle, BTW.

Un contrastes étonnant entre des champs bien verts et ces arbres déjà pratiquement nus...

(another approach to the theme "contrast")

Catedral de Santiago de Chile. Me llamó la atención la convivencia de arquitecturas, los contrastes, los reflejos.
