Juxtaposition

Sunday challenge 216 Juxtaposition.
This subject does appeal to me. Usually, I would associate this with contrast of old and new, as in architecture. Other forms are natural v manmade, small v large.

In our coastal village there are few old v new opportunities, so have selected the natural v manmade option. Weeds (nut grass) growing through river pebbles, and the man made plant pot, containing a succulent.

The contrast between natural elements and human constructions is one of the most common and effective forms of juxtaposition. A tree growing through a fence. Wildflowers pushing through cracks in asphalt...

Visitor 17 September, NSW Australia.

My other photos were through the window, but he stayed long enough for me to take this outside photo. A bit rushed as he flew away after this.

... and a rainbow just before this.

Male Australian king parrots have a bright red head and chest with green wings and back feathers, while females are mostly green with a small red patch on the belly. Their scientific name is Alisterus scapularis.

and a vintage cars display.

Sunday challenge 214 - Open theme.
I enjoy most genres of photography, just taking whatever inspires me, really appreciating the detail through the lens, a joy which compensates for poor eyesight, and love the storytelling.

SC212 - Storytelling - Part 5: Your story- Post 30 August
One of our most amazing experiences to see the vast wilderness of Doubtful Sound, the second largest fiord in Fiordland National Park, remote and magnificent.

1. Who is the story about? (Subject)
People (including us) and place, on a cruise in New Zealand’s Fiordland.
2. Where is it happening? (Context)
Doubtful Sound
3. What is happening right now? (Moment)
Cruising through the magnificent scenery.
4. Why should someone care? (Emotion)
In awe of nature, and the wonderful remote places on our planet.

On board Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas cruise to New Zealand 8-17 December 2019, including Wellington, Picton, Dunedin, Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds.

At 421 metres deep, Doubtful is the deepest of the fiords and is long and winding with three distinct 'arms' and several outstanding waterfalls in the area from Deep Cove to the open ocean, a distance of around 40.4 kilometres.
Fiordland National Park is one of New Zealand's treasured natural icons and is internationally recognised as part of the wider UNESCO World Heritage site, Te Wāhipounamu (Place of the Greenstone). It is home to glaciers, alpine ranges, and unique flora and fauna since New Zealand was part of the supercontinent Gondwanaland.
Fiordland National Park covers 1.2 million hectares of mountain, lake, fiord and rainforest environments and is administered by the Department of Conservation.
Human activity within Fiordland has been limited because of its challenging and wild landscapes. www.fiordland.org.nz/visit/fiordland-national-park

Sunday challenge SC211 - Post 23 August - Storytelling Part4: Emotion
www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365/discuss/201058

It's interesting that most photos do not apparently actually show emotion, although often have an emotional response from the viewer, depending on the subject.
I also have a few photos showing emotion, mostly of family, and private.

This 2014 archive photo works - on our walk to Passage Peak in the Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia, view to Perseverance and Pentecost Islands. We love the Whitsundays, such a beautiful area, have been there many times.

On Sunday 3 June 1770 Captain James Cook sailed his ship H.M.B. Endeavour, through a broad expanse of islands which provided an unimpeded passage to the north. Cook named the passage "Whitsundays' Passage".

The Cumberland Islands form a group of 70 islands on the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Mackay in Queensland, Australia.

Over time "Isles" has been replaced by "Islands". More recently these islands have increasingly become known as the Whitsunday Islands, and the general area more simply as the "Whitsundays"..

"Context is one of the most powerful storytelling tools in photography because it answers the question: "What is happening beyond the subject?" A portrait can tell you who someone is, but context helps explain where they are, what they're doing, why it matters, and how you should feel about it."
