Wow!  Great idea!  I'll have to start looking around.  :) 

The August Challenge was so much fun, I have to keep my eyes open and my camera glued to my hand from now on!

:b_sad:

That's the whole idea!  We don't want you to just look through your files we want you to get out and about shooting for the challenge.

And you ?

Brilliant idea, I'll get thinking.

Well I think this one will be a bit more of a challenge.....Better put my thinking cap on and keep a good look-out.

this one will certainly be taxing and different :o)

2nd day of the month ......... common guys, bring it on!   :b_funny:

Yea!!!!!!! There you go Flannelman. If anyone can be contrary...oh, wait...this is PHOTOS of contradictions...sorry. :tt2:

Big bad security you got there!

I have a few things in mind. I'll be working on this in the next week or so. :-)

So far alot of talk and 1 photo.
Um re: MrsLubner, that would be contrarian .
I would say "Keep em coming" but ......
fm ;-)

Don't dare me. You know I can't turn down a dare. It will take me some times since I am not as good as contratiction as a lot of people.  hmmmmmmmmmm... but I bet I can find a few things given some time. I'm sure you will find a basket full of contradictions by the week's end.

A capture made just outside of town where the road passes the cemetery.

Oh wow, finally some PHOTO'S!!!  And some EXCELLENT ones too!  Flannelman, I love it.. yours put a huge smile on my face..

and Piet ..................... wow. Yours hit me ... and is perfect for this challenge, as well.  GOOD ONE.  :)

I know, I need to get out there and find some contradictions, too .. it is by far much more of a challenge than last months.  But let's not let it stops uS!!

Excellent one David!  LOL  That's really good :)

And the sign said "You got to have a membership card to get inside".
Well we are all members here so I think I will go contradiction hunting.
Go to see Piet /Fred255 in the running.
Keep em coming (lol).
fm ;-)

Oh Oh !!! Flanelman, Piet and Fred255 start the "dance" with interresting pics !!
That's sure going to be a great challenge !!

Sorry I haven't time to photography for this week ...helping my son, Daniel ( aka ElectronInc here) to pack a lot of luggage because he lefts home to study in a french town,
about  700 kms = 434 miles from Nice, if that converter is right  :  http://www.tech-faq.com/lang/fr/convert-kilometers-to-miles.shtml

Daniel will begin classroom next monday and get a student university room in the same day

That's the present "tsunami" I have to cross.... snif  :m_bawling:

Sorry bis,  I take place here with my family bla bla ... in contradiction with the purpose of this happy thread  * smilie derisive :rolleyes: *

I'm going to be positive and search contradiction situation or else to catch with my little cam around me

Wish you a nice wednesday and thursday

I'd say its perfect for this challenge :)) good one!

So how is this for a contradiction shot?

PJ! All I can say is WOW !

Wow ... I feel for them.  My husbands hobby is tractors... and old cars.  He stores them in an orderly fashion in HIS 10 acres next to the homes 10 acres.. (we have a total of 20 here)... so i dont see it, unless I walk down there.  What a site.  I dont like it at all but I can't take away his passion.. right? :)  Anyway.. great submission for this challenge :)

Hey!  theres beauty in old tractors and cars, why haven't you posted some of his?  I haven't been out of the house yet this month but going to the Fire Station Open Day with Thomas one of my grandchildren on Sunday, I will look out for something there.

Seems to be going OK so far Shari.  I'm glad our grave yards don't need razor wire around them Piet, good shot a sign of the times I guess.

I'm glad there's razor wire around that graveyard! It helps to keep the dead where they belong - inside the fence!  

Ouch!....PJ...:).....Nice shots from everybody, looks like it's finaly picking up Shari :)..with the apraoching weekend, and weather permitting, will have to see what I can come up with!

Ya know, too bad you used that photo of you as an avatar because it is a contradiction in its own right... such a serious and firm look - half man, half frightful machine, when, in fact, you are a real sweetie through and through. :-)  Can't hold my seat waiting for your entry.

David, I have an affection for both flowers and gutters... perhaps that came out wrong but you get the point... Great way to show functional and whimsical all in one.

LOL @ PJ!

Excellent submission David!!!  .. shame on me, I have yet to upload something... the weekend is coming though :) 

I'll have to mosey on through the tractor graveyard, see what I can see :P

Yeah ... you gotta love Ronnie as a half Borg.  I don't buy that meanie avatar for one minute!   I think the one where he's pulling a face and has a collander on his head is a more accurate portrayal.

:)

ronnie had that one coming lol @pj

david ,you had the same idea as me so im glad i didnt post it :o)

must put my thinking cap on again

mick

Mick

Oh and btw, I can vouch for Ronnie, he does look like that and like most men, we don't have any soft spots. Hehe, ok i am stirring. Peace!

My boss and I drove past another cemetery (while it seems to be my source of inspiration) and came upon this gem... or not.

OH MY GOSH! Flannelman, you really did it! :lol:  So still out in the middle of nowhere and still nothing for this fireplug to do but stand and wait for...something... I wonder if it will need a new coat of paint and fresh plumbing by the time they make it useful! :rolleyes:

Mick, I don't get it either. We got the same stuff here. Just doesn't make sense. Government builds apartments  that they don't maintain for huge amounts of our hard earned tax money and then 10 years later they condemn it all. Gosh, those buildings stand vacant for 10 more years costing the community more money to patrol them - we won't even mention of the number of people camping in them or the many arson fires started that threaten the rest of the neighborhood...Until, finally! They decide to knock it all down, but in this economy not many are willing to rebuild without government funding so we then go back to the original landscape ... a huge vacant lot, overgrown with weeds, trash and varmits where people who once lived in those governement-built apartments now throw their bed rolls. We now have come full-circle except me, the taxpayer is poorer for paying stupidly used taxes and is about to lose our own home and have to go looking for some government-subsidized housing! (I'll shut up now...)  :unsure:

Piet, yours is much easier to understand.  It makes perfect sense, right? Mike and Lena wanted the tallest headstone in the cemetery but they were short of cash so instead of a giant oblisk they had the boys throw up a towering windmill. Just as good as an oblisk and its cheaper - AND it commands just as much attention ... am I right?

I tried my translater on this and I'm hoping it was not too acturate.  :unsure: Hmmmmmmm. it makes me wonder... LOL

I think your translator was spot on PJ, the guy needed to leak and this was all he could find. Roflmao.

Jeroni Excellente!!

Hi everybody,

Piet  I agree with your point of view in this contradiction & behaviour you shot in this country

Jeroni, un imagen qué necessita comentario para comprender lo qué mostras, pero no me aparece con un ejemplo a proposito del tema Contradiction... Si hay algo que no hé comprendido,  explica me

Sobre todo, espero no ofenderte !! gracias
Y sobre del sobre todo, Io, no he echado un imagen en este tema un poco dificil a buscar imagen!!!
( excusa me si mi espanol no es perfecto, soy frances)
abrazos

Where is my cam  ? !!! Upset with this "tsunami" at home !!!
:b_angry:

This half man half Cyborg, has not got his nuclear powerd hiney in gear yet, I may just shoot a picture of Parliament, with politicians offering us all the gold we can eat, then behaving as they do, what better contradiction lol...great entreis by everyone BTW, PJ that looks like my garden ROFL

Two days ago, the guys came to install my new front entrance door, the guy that spoke to me could clearly see I was 6’ 4” so look where they placed the spy hole , I don't know, you just can't get the staff these days :)

Roflmao.  I have to ask Ronnie, what is that white thing agains the door?  Is it some sort of security device to stop people from knocking the door in?

The spy hole would be just about right for me at 5' 6" though.

It's my mothers Stair lift Jeff :)...You pull up the arms when not in use, not the greatest of designs, but I am not one to argue with Stannah :)))

I love that peep hole! :-) I installed mine and it works for me but no one else in the house can use it easily. But then, I pay the mortgage so I figure this house ought to be set up MY way. Great contradiction, Ronnie.

LOL. Maybe I need a optician, I have only just noticed your comment Tara, maybe i should post the collander shot as a self portrait ROFL!....Thanks PJ, glad you like:)

@ Ronnie - I think you should leave your Meanie-Borg avatar up for a while, just long enough for people to get used to it and buy into the idea that you're a bad-a$$.  Then switch it to the collander-on-your-head shot.  Nobody will know what to think!  Oh ... unless they've ever spent ... like ... about 30 seconds with you! 

:)

I love your door.  I'll come over and let you know who's there.  The peephole is just about the right height for me!  Of course I won't know anybody you know.  "Well, it's a guy.  Ummm ... brown hair, glasses, wearing a green shirt.  Should I let him in?"  Or you could just stand on your tip-toes and look out the window!

LOL, good call Tara:)...will send a shiver down the spines of the comunity eh?....Come on over and let me know who is knocking

. . . for those of you who look at this and think, ???, that little bitty car wouldn't pull that great big trailer (caravan) three feet!
