Juxtaposition är ett roligt ord, nästan onomatopoetiskt eller ljudhärmande, om du upprepar det några gånger…I Madrid hittade jag ett flertal exempel på sådana kombinationer av levande eller döda ting som befinner sig intill varandra och medvetet eller omedvetet bildar kontraster. Några fler, och bättre, finns i ett tidigare inlägg, här i the green wall.
Idag har jag valt fyra andra exempel. Det första sida vid sida, det andra ovanpå varandra, det tredje omringande varandra och i det sista exemplet klänger de sig fast vid varandra…
Juxtaposition is a funny word, and it sounds almost onomatopoetic when you pronounce it a couple of times…In Madrid I caught some of them…the juxtapositions. I know I used the green wall in an older post with (more and better than these…I won a competition with that one) juxtapositions, but this time I have picked another four examples. They do stand in contrast, the first one side by side, the second one on top of the other, then almost surrounding each other, and in the last picture they are clinging to one another.
Somehow it’s easy to find buildings and architecture showing this, but of course you find it everywhere if you just take a look around…Find more of juxtapositioning here!
Side by side
On top of each other
Side by side and surrounding

Great photo series showing juxtaposition – they work perfectly Ann Christine
Thank you, Mary – this was a difficult challenge.

Great choices for the challenge. i love the lamppost and the Poplar trees. That roof room looks quite precarious. 🙂
It does look like it could fall down any minute…
These are some beautiful pictures and they illustrate the theme very well!
Thank you, Meg!
Beautiful illustrations of juxtaposition. Are those really trees against the window panes in the final photo?
I really don’t think so. Of course they might be, but I guess they are more of more sustainable material. But, it would have been great to have real ones just outside your window up there.
Great post! OK! You got me with ”onomatopoetic” I had to look it up actually! I would love to sit on the roof in that little glass cupola !
He, he, I’m glad I got you on something…And I think the two of us should have a soft drink, watching the sunset up there from the roof top!
LETS DO IT!
😉
Wonderful take on the theme….very clever as always 🙂
Oh, well, I just happened to have those photos and made the connection/reflection while looking at them…But, I choose being flattered!
Interesting and really beautiful entries! I am the most drawn to the first one – there’ s some very original ”dance” happening in between the shapes there (in my imagination, of course!) 🙂
Thank you, Ese! I think you are right…I didn’t see that before…!
Wow, great choices for the challenge – I can’t get my head around this one .. and I don’t have a clue where to look neither in all my folders. I never heard the word before neither. A Very creative post, A-C. I can see it’s a very playful subject this week
You will surely come up with something…I think I know you…!
Yes, you where right .. I manage to get my entry, but not very exciting – like the photo I used.

Thank you!
They’re all terrific choices for this week’s challenge, but I fell, totally, for the first one. Great composition!
Thanks!
We lived up the street from those twin towers in Madrid. Brings back memories. Nice photos and juxtapositions.
Thank you. I really like Madrid – a great surprise to me! These brown things were the most …not liked buildings in Madrid…according to me.

From all sides, that is so creative Leya! Well done!
I’m happy you liked it, Amy! A great challenge with many interpretations – just as it should be.
Thank you, Amy!
