Our Arts & Crafts chairs contrast against the rock piers on the porch. They are unlike each other because the rocks are round and wide; the wood on the chairs is straight and narrow. The rock piers taper as they rise; the wood on the chairs remains even. The rocks are smooth; the wood has four corners.
Contrast is all around us. We need to open our eyes to the possibilities.

Very interesting!
Thank you! I like your blog!
Nice contrast. Because of the close-up, one has to stop and move one pixel at a time, one corner to another to appreciate what is really there. Love it. Thanks.
Thanks Tess!
nice interpretation.
Thanks!
I like your straight designed chairs – would be nice in my water surrounded castle!
ahhh yes they would. 😉

What a neat photo, I love the way the viewer has to peek through to see the rocks. Well composed.
thank you, Maggie! I hoped people would be able to see the rocks! love your Contrast photo!! 😉
Different interpretation, i wouldn’t have thought of it! Really like the picture. 🙂
Thank you, Zelmare! I keep thinking I should have done something more obvious. Thanks for your compliment!
A very clever approach for the theme 🙂
That’s a very contrasting view of a chair as well as a view from the chair
Very artistic 😀

Loved the shot as well as the words. You have both the power to ‘see’ and define it in a unique way! Interesting contrast.
Bindu…what would I do without you? 😉 You say the nicest, most eloquent words. You make me feel so good. Thank you, dear friend.
nice contrast and interpreted well!
Thank you very much, joshi! Nice of you to say that!
Excellent choice. 😉
Thanks, Eliz!
I love the shot – simplicity and depth, as well as your words of the many layers of contrast. the kind of work that keeps me looking. . .
Thank you! I appreciate those kind words!
The Arts & Crafts movement is in danger of fading away. It seems the craftsman are not being as appreciated as they were years ago. Mass production is one of the reasons. Cheaper labor eliminates the fine handiwork of a real craftsman. I hope it isn’t so. It would be a shame to lose the fine work they do. Every piece is made with skill but more importantly with love.

Thanks, Isadora! Yes.. there are mass-produced reproductions. Those chairs, however, were each handmade by the Amish. They are heavy oak and a piece of art in themselves. Unfortunately we can’t afford hand-made Arts & Crafts or Prairie style furniture for every piece in our home…some are reproductions! We have a mixture!
