snakes and ladders

place: somewhere by the docks (CAN)
mood: actively busy

Suggestions of movement or action are captured in this photograph. The green from the row of trees seem to join up with the wild shrubbery growing alongside the concrete wall and drainage/sewage tubing to create this slight 'S' curve. And of course, there is the eye-catchingly bright orange accordian tubing running parallel with the metal fence to lead our eye towards the right edge of the picture and into the distance.

There are so many colour connections happening here that i have to list them:
1. The primary blue hue of the sky and the less saturated, light blue metal connector rings complements the almost-florescent orange of the long accordian tube.
2. The violet of the petite flowers complements the yellow pigment in the tertiary yellow-orange of the painted concrete block.
3. The light orange of the plastic heavy duty tubing is in discord with the yellow of the concrete, a paint which has been darkened with orange or brown.
4. The lesser-hued blue of the metal rings is in discord with the dark green of the shrubbery surrounding it.
5. And perhaps, if the concrete block is accepted as painted with a tertiary yellow-orange, despite the fact that it is definitely more yellow than orange, then the blue hue would be in split-complement with that and the lightened red-orange tertiary metal connector rings.
*Phew* I hope I didn't forget to mention anything else.

I think this photograph is kind of fascinating in terms of how it displays technology as contrasting, and yet, melding so well with nature.
