Shot in Sharon Springs in NY, a once-bustling sulphur-water spa town that is now half-abondoned. One of the most interesting places places I've ever seen. Well worth it if you're in the area, IMHO.
This was the window in a little house that was completely falling apart right on the side of the road (and next to a waterfall and an abandoned grand hotel!)...someone put a flower and a curtain on the window, making for a very interesting scene.

I know that this isn't contrast in the most typical sense, but aside from the colors (which I thought created a very nice contrast), you also have the contrast of the new flowers and curtains opposite the rest, which is old and falling apart.

The bizarre lines that's drawn around this is disturbing - reminds me of the road makeings before the chaos of street-work, or of a gun sight, or something.
