This should be easy, as contrasts are everywhere:

My try:
A statue of Mary, taken in an abandoned chapel in the forest in Ariege, France
I've chosen that special angle to minimize the background in order to make the rust stand out.

It's basically contrast by lack of contrast :)

Jerome - thanks! I don't know if the shape was intended for that reason, as there was a row of similar shaped trees (Munich Airport).

Sandrine - the contrast rust - no rust is well visible. I saw the same contrast, but in a different manner last year on a sculpture.

Here it is:


Best regards,
Michael

This is so powerful. I really like the energy of the contrast!

A contrast in times -- architecture plain and fancy

From one viewpoint you can see a monastery that has been continuously operating since the 4th Century CE, the Israel Museum, an architectural highlight of the 1960s, and the high end residential architecture of the year 2005. It is all glued together by the hastily built apartments of the 1950s and 1960s (plus trees). Which appeals most? The museum just had a makeover and has some very nice new exhibit spaces. The monastery was a battleground in the Independence war 1948-49. Read Meier Shalev's novel, "Boy and Dove" for one possible story of that time and place.

Thank you so much Maggie, Jerome and Jim! I must say I really got lucky with this one. I was having a go with two flashguns and self trigger in our living room. And she dashed from out of nowhere (like they always do!) and sat on my lap. Then the camera went off :)
