A congruent symmetry of contrasts. - a photo on Flickriver

A congruent symmetry of contrasts.

            This view of the Mandurah roof lines is never likely to become iconic, or even much more than part of a set. But it did catch my eye with its contrasts and continuity of colours, lines, textures, ages, materials and nature. So much of this is a congruent symmetry of contrasts, that it's hard to list them, but I'll try.
Windows, round and square.
Buildings, obviously old (with vine growth) and new (clean and freshly painted).
Nature, alive and dead (or absent).
Lines, roofs, fences, road, all tying the picture together.
Balance of colours, green grass, Blue sky and brown buildings and fence.
Texture, grass and plants, red brick house, pale cream brick, vertical metal fence, horizontal metal building wall, tiled and metal roofs, even the bird and power bollard.
The neat grass and rubbish against the house.
Its the sort of image that would make a good jigsaw....
