Like Water and Stone - Fluid Tree and Structured Roof
The red tile roofline belongs to the Salisbury, NC, Train Station and this is the final photo of this current urban theme — although with the tree I guess it could be considered a nature photo as well.
What appeals to me in this image is the contrast of the natural curved and random lines of the tree against the very structured and precise Spanish architecture roofline and walls behind it — somewhat like when looking at a stream bed, with the fluidness of the water over the ridged structure of rocks/stones, or something like that. 
There wasn’t much post-processing on this image beyond a little adjustment in Adobe Lightroom and detail enhancement with Topaz Details in Photoshop CS4.
My next photo theme is a series of photos based on available light within a limited physical area, the family room in our house. I’ve set these restriction to challenge my creativity and I spent some time this morning and this evening observing the way sunlight moves through the room. I’ve captured a couple of photos that show promise and I hope the results will not be too boring.

The tree almost seems to have these tentacles reaching out to grab the building. I too like the contrast between them. It is also another example of how nature creates with curved lines while man creates with straight lines. I’m looking forward to seeing what your new project looks like.
This was one of those shots I took and didn’t think much about it until I viewed it in post-processing. At that point I liked it well enough to post.
enjoyed the last series… interested in seeing the next series!
Yvonne, thanks, I hope I don’t disappoint with this next series. I’m pushing way outside my comfort zone with this next one.
I like the juxtaposition of the random branches and the formal lines of the building. As you say somewhat like some things in nature. Well done.
Don, thanks! I appreciate the kind comments and I’m glad you liked it.
