Goldenrod and blue. Quite the combination. I think I’ve seen a flag or a banner somewhere with these colours complementing each other nicely. I wonder if I figure out where I saw it.

And I’m up! It turns out the only juxtaposition I had was a plastic robot and flowers. Does it have a deeper meaning? I don’t know. I really haven’t the slightest idea. I thought I might discover something that looked like your great picture, but I kept finding flowers. With Robbie. The Robot.

Oh yes, this is another good theme, Paula.
Your shot is certainly full of contrast, with a great example of old and modern, plus tidy and dilapidated.

What matters most to me in these challenges is to see people have fun, and engage in a creative activity, doing things they did not think they could 🙂 I know how much good it does to me, to be creative, to make my mind busy with something positive 🙂 Thank you, Lisa.

Hello Ark. Thank you and of course you may. I used Canon Eos 70D. On this blog you may see photos taken with various gadgets: Ixus, Powershot, Canon Eos 450D, Canon Eos 60 D (which died aged 10 months). I would like to have a full frame some day, maybe.
