Contrasting Elements


My metropolitan garden. From left to right: Peace lily, basil, sage, tomato, oregano, thyme, basil, sweet basil, cilantro, a third basil. It smells like heaven and brings me a ridiculous amount of pleasure.

I love this photo because of the contrast between the stark, urban background, the clean lines of modern technology, the soft curtain swaying in the breeze and the lush, green, vibrant plant life.

In a way, it looks like the plants are saying "hah HAH! You care for us now, but one day by slow persistence and growth we will take over this place and all of the surrounding areas back! For now, we will just look out the window, though."

Or maybe I'm just full of crazy...

And the computer is biding it's time as well. When plant life becomes tech-savy we'll be in great trouble. (Turn the box OFF when you leave the room.)
