Weekly Photo Challenge: Juxtaposition

I had to look up this word – now I hope I have understood it. A juxtaposition is “the act of placing things side by side, especially for the purpose of comparison or contrast” — as in this shot. This shot is – old and new – different size and color .

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You

For this challenge,  keep it simple:  share a photograph with a prominent color (or assortment of colors) that reveals more about you. It could be a symbolic, meaningful shade; a color that expresses how you currently feel; or a combination of colors that excites you and tells a visual story.

Something warm, something cold –  Romantic and old-fashioned , plain and new, that me.

Roses

It is mid October in Finland, it’s dark, cold and windy this time of the year. Usually the roses do not bloom, but I took photos of these roses in my garden this morning.

Yellow roses and leafs

It is a good thing That I took hundreds of rose photos last summer – as I did not have anything yellow to photograph now in macro. Well – yeah – I have a yellow leaf.
