1) This house is amazing. It's very existence is a contrast in tones. I walked by this house everyday on my walk to school and my heart always does a little dance everytime I see it. The stark differences between the two sides always intrigue me. There's something great about plants fighting back.
2) I love bikes. There is something about the hard triangle of the frame and those two big round wheels that catches my attention. Every bike tells a story. Chained to one space for a period of time, it is as if they are at an artist residency, being changed by it's peculiar surroundings for the time it is there. This image captures one of these special bikes as it admires the over cast day playing with the white walls of the building.
3) Telephone lines! My neighborhood growing up was filled with telephone lines. They housed the Green Mexican Parrots once a year, but, more importantly, they were leading lines wherever I travelled. But, as intriguing as they may be...BAM! Our subject, in bright white, overpowers those ever intriguing lines and harsh shadows.
Hey Henry, I agree with you 100% about nature always trying to fight back, reclaiming what it's lost. Near where I live back home in Toronto, I also saw a similar house that had vines covering it in its entirety. Sadly, those vines were completely cut down during one of the semesters since I started studying at BYU, so they're gone. Seeing the house clean of vines is still nice, but interesting, not as interesting as before. Also, your third photo looks like it's a motion picture. The horizontal lines and the convergent lines creating a vanishing point at the top of the mountain makes it seem like those clouds are moving towards the mountain in the image.
