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)

 Cool challenge. I got this eariler today before I looked at the challenge thread.  Here is the "Ice Breaker" lol. fm ;-)

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.

Lotsa talk still, congrats to Flannelman for breaking the ice.  This looks like a lot of fun and measured by the number of entries I suppose it's a bit more of a challenge than the previous one.

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

Does this mean they won't save you if you go through the ice?  That's not a community service!

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

Not so sure this is a contradiction but at least a contrast between this beautiful Natura 2000 site (camp Lagland, a military domain near Arlon in South Belgium; follow the link for my upload today) and the sign prohibiting the passage of the tanks...

"In Life, as in Photography, things look much brighter, once you remove the lens cap"

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

Not the mentioned flower in a garbage dump but close. Let's just say this is a garbage pile in someone's flower garden. Seems someone I know has a daughter with that Hoarding Compulsion and every year the family has to dig her out of her "hoard" resulting in a pile that accumulates in the back corner of the yard. And each year a massive load is hauled to the dump making room for the daughter's next year's "hoard" to begin. Please feel bad for this person who tries hard to maintain a stellar garden in spite of it all.  I know I do.

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!

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.

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.

:)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

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

 That tank sign is way cool and, the flowers growing from brick (nature will have its way). PJ, really, a junk yard in the garden (lol). I saw this fireplug a couple of years ago and its still there and still no development of the subdivision yet to come. hmmmm fm ;-)

I suppose this could be deemed political but i do believe there is a contradiction here .So many good houses going to waste waiting to be flattened ,while there are homeless .Of course the second contradiction is summer is supposed to be sunny and all we`ve had is rain :o)..This is the view from my front door by the way.

Mick

I don't get it! Contradiction in old tractors in a beautiful rural garden... Do I miss something?

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.

Piet Vermeulen, South Africa

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 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!!!

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

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

Well after much thought about all of this, the answer was staring me in the face or rather not

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 :)

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

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 :)))

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

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.

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

@ 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!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

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

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

I'll be there shortly!  :)  In the meantime, you got me thinking about contradiction in relationship to size . . .

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

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Vast contradiction in terms of size, but Tara...Tell me was it the image, or my manly frame?...Rofl

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

Well, both!   You're a good foot taller than I am, so it was your manly frame in contrast to the very low peephole in the door.   (How's THAT for a good save?)    ;)

Hey ! I found my cam yesterday... ouffff !  :m_tired:

That's the only thing I could shot and I'm not proud of...
Peek a zoom in you dare ...

The tittle could be : Not only leaves fall in autumn, here

The place is a parking near the airport were lived a lot of birds
Yesterday, I was scarred seeing all those feathers on the green floor....

... the contradiction being that some folks might not "normally" think of a one armed person holding and firing a shotgun as going together very easily.  But this has been a yearly tradition on the first weekend of dove season for over thirty years in that small town.

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maria this is GREAT!!!!!!!!LOL!

It takes one tree to make a billion matchsticks, but one match to burn a billion trees

I don't know if this really qualifies, but as I was busily trying AGAIN to catch a decent shot of my nemesis, I noticed that he clearly can't read....

LOL!  Oh Denise, that's great!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Maria, gotta concur...that really is great. Leave it to Texas to be outrageously serious about hunting and high school football.

Here is my second post to this challenge. Not anything memorable but this is not an easy thing to do this month... Contradiction...Life, death and the little irritations inbetween.

I think the oposite is the Resort against agricultura and also poor people Inmigrants from Africa against Rich people live in luxury resort with Golf and pools.
Hugs. Luis

hi Luis
That works well at my humble opinion to illustrate a contradiction
Rich / poor , desert urbanisation / green agriculture

Bien vu !

I found this photo from my trip to Vancouver in April 2008. Can you see the contradiction?

Hi Shari. I am on day 3 of a 21 day drive...of about 3000 miles in distance. Just read the challenge today (good idea including it on the comments you post). Will keep my eyes open.

Sometimes you encounter the oddest things along the highways and byways. Of course you don't see much whizzing along at 75 MPH on an Interstate...but I get off the big roads when I can.

Internet connections are a little spotty on a trip like this but I'll pop up as often as possible.

Taken yesterday in York UK.

Another one from York, on the skyline you can just make out York Minster the Cathedral.

This is the River Ouse that runs through the center of York, with all the rain it's banks have swollen somewhat.  This sign is usually about twenty feet from the river bank as are the bicycle racks, it looks like the owner of this bike returned from work and couldn't get to his bike.  Between me and the sign was a road, also under about a foot or more of water.

most people think candle light is romanicae [getting in the mood for love] I took this shot for i had nothing else to do and the lights was out every where and i wish to show people if you wish to take photos you can do it anytime even with a big storm outside and no elecitic on just have camera and light souce. i thought this would fit in this tread. if not please forgive me do look like love to some people lol or the contradiction of a love and hate between couples

Wow you guys, are keeping this going nicely!!!  Some wonderful Images posted!!!

Hey Bill ... :-)    thank you for dropping in!!! I hope you are enjoying your trip; keep that camera in the ready. you never know what you may find along the way!  lol ... be safe.

Work has zapped me of my time and energy lately; I apologize.  Hopefully I will have a 'real' weekend coming up; where I can get out and really enjoy myself.  (sick last weekend).

I've been looking everywhere to find something condradictory.  I have a twisted mind I guess...everything seems to look perfectly sensible. Then I came across this.  The Navaro River "sometimes" opens to the Pacific Ocean but I would guess that it only does so now in a very big and powerful storm. Sand has been deposited In a wide beach separating the two water ways. On the river near the "mouth" that is no more, there are 3 abandoned buildings. Boarded up and weather-worn to the point of hardly standing. I thought the sign was a real crack up... There is nothing to save! It looks like no official park ranger has even been around in years.

Oh just listen to the Queen of the Forum squealing, why does she not admit to being stunned by all the contributions and that she has nothing to upload in this challenge! :sneaky::sneaky:

I see some of the "contradictions" are not so evident and that makes the challenge a bit more interesting I'd say.

Bill, good to see you joined in but I challenge you to submit something. I will also be on the lookout again this afternoon, the others have done perfect jobs! Ionel, Luis, Denise, Art, Jocko and PJ!

Oh btw, I hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday Denise!!!

Magali, I have only read about your son now. Shari's boy also  left for the university. Good luck to the two of you! What a contradiction it would be seeing a mom smile on a pic while her heart is breaking saying goodbye to her son!

Big hugs to the two of you. :b_uncertain:

Piet Vermeulen, South Africa

Thank you Piet :-)  I was fine untill he said last night on MSN Messenger "I wish I were home.." even though it was ONLY to see the little kitten we were taking care of for the night.  lol  Hope your boy is as happy as mine Magali ............ and that he isnt TOO far away, so that there will be somewhat regular visits.

This challenge is too challenging for me.. i can't find contradictions anywhere... but I won't give up... I still have a couple weeks left.  :-)

Great pics posted guys ... way to go!  :-)

"The only thing coming straight out of MY camera is the cable!"
P. Vermeulen

OK, not sure if this qualifies but these are all my young ones and, surprisingly, they all get along very well... :-D

 

Liam

Now this one is pretty self-explanatory, I think. Again, featuring my son... a few months ago... Would you believe he was actually doing that?! He's 12 this July ;-)

 

Liam

Hopefully, this speaks for itself.

This sign, plus a red one like it on the other side of this duck/goose pond in Roslyn, NY stays up year-round. Doesn't it seem a bit like crying wolf in the spring, summer and fall?

Bill

"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."
  

I spent one week looking everywhere. I even had my daughter looking and zilch, other than the Save the Inn shot. And that was more laughable than contradictory. Its in a flood zone and once a storm breaks down the sand bar again, it will be 8 feet underwater anyway.  I've found the trick is to find something other than a sign since signs are almost too easy to find. Its in the symbolism - like markablue and alz2008. Those do it without words. Note: I resorted to something with a sign. :-) I fell short of my goal.

Bill .. excellent contribution!!!  LOL  It's perfect!  how's the trip going ?? :)

Marka,,,, thanks for joining in on the fun; you chose some good ones too !!  :-)

Omgosh, he's a young'un behind that wheel!!  Ahhh! lol  Just today as i was driving to the office (yeah, i put in a couple hrs today ..) i saw hubbys car coming my way; I waved.. and kept going.  next thing I know, my cell phone rings.. its my son, Ben .. 14.  "Did you see me waving mom?"  I said "No, but I saw it was you and Dad driving by......... "  He said "I was the one behind the wheel."  Egads... LOL  He said he was really jamming down the road (I couldn't help but see how SLOW that car was going... but I didn't say anything )  lol

Lol !! Yes !!! that features well here !

Wow, still getting creative with the challenge. I am from the Texas gulf coast and about 25 miles inland (and in a direct line) with the storm y-IKE-s path from Galveston.  When the storm hit I was playing golf somewhere in the hill country just south of Austin. I came back the morning after just in time for the last rain band to blow through but, made it home. Very minor damage, mostly trees down and a few shingles missing from the roof. Oh, and no electricity. About 7 hours ago we got power. So getting to my last contribution to the challenge ... This was taken the day I got back about 3 blocks from where I live at a r/v (caravan) park and 9 hole golf course. fm ;-)

lol what a mess. so sad

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

I don't know if everyone has been able to read the sign on the entrance but it says "not responsible for damage done by gate." Seems like the least of their problems. The coverage of Ike hasn't really shown the devistation. Glad you posted this and it is very contradictory!

My "solitude" ( loneliness) is a little difficult  but I manage
Yes, Daniel said me he's well even some problems to install in a university room, that's OK now...
Probably, he will come back here for "Toussaint'" holidays ( Hallowe'en) to spend a week.

I agree Shari, even if Joko says that's it's easy to take a pic, this theme gives me problems too to find good ideas of photography

Nice Wednesday at all

I agree Shari, even if Joko says that's it's easy to take a pic, this theme gives me problems too to find good ideas of photography

Nice Wednesday at all
Magali

You can probably find them all around you! Go to a car wash and find someone washing a rust bucket down! Go to a construction site and find someone walking around without a helmet on! Find a 24x7 convenience store that is closed! Find a wireless cafe with people using a network cable!

My favorite is an elevator that has Braille on the floor sign about 5 feet high!

Have Fun in your search!

Art

Ok Art Ramos, I agree and have the same ideas but I don't meet the good situation
I search hardly the real "contradiction" situation
The one that makes laugh loud ! or the one that makes crry !

oh because I love music i can't miss sharing with you that
And I am in very contradiction here ... but I hope you will enjoy that  'zic
while i'm searching an image to share with you ...
Here an interlude to make you wait
Amitiés Magali

I guess a blog about Huey Lewis is a cotradiction (considering he was a math whiz and accepted to Cornell University) and grew up to be a hormonica/singer in a band. lol ;-)

Art .. you are so good.  :-)

Now you got me thinkin' ...........

...Was I supposed to go an illegal speed? 

Ok, I finally get to post my contradiction!  I have been waiting as I know of only one place that this sign exists.  I finally got to take the image yesterday.  I find this to be way contradictory.  I for the life of me can not understand what was on their mind when they put this up.  Hope you enjoy!

As to my image above, we had just come out of a construction zone that had a speed of 55 for thirty or so miles.  Then the "legal speed" was 70 after that.  I thought you might like to know the story behind this.

Too funny!

Tongs and snow

Well you can see clearly on that pic through the orientation of the "tongs" shoes :
my kids ( more than kids ...!) ran into home
while I ran to assure that plants and all the terrace were well and came back leaving
my shoes "in starting block" for the day after ...

Hope you understand my french english ...lol !!

I took this one when we were on vacation last month.  I was cracking up at all the arrows pointing in every direction and told my husband how contradictory it appeared... lol.  (Not the best of photos, through the windshield and on the move and time for one shot only.  Had to take it though.)

good heavens! LOL! I've looked for a similar thing here... I've seen it before but it happens so much I can't remember where I was when I spotted it but they will have a hair-pin turn on a mountain road that has a sign that says Speed Limit 20 and then 20 feet further is a sign that says Speed Limit 55. Sort of makes you wonder what the planning department was thinking...

Maybe it wasn't a contradiction when they were built, but today there is No Smoking on any train in the UK.  This was taken at the National Railway Museum, York. UK.

This wasnt taken by me it was sent by my mate through an e - mail..

LOL

hmmm was walking around and thinking about it.. also not easy for me to find something... hopefully this wil count....and you had some pretty fine shots in here...smile

OMG, these are PRICELESS!! Where to I begin!!?? LOL  

First, ALL THEM SIGNS, Oh, My God, I think if I were to drive in that mess, I'd run into myself! 

That plane --- hehehe Love it!

mermaid - the bike signs, too .. too confusing for my thinking  lol

Tongs in snow ... Love it; just perfect for this challenge!

Resume Speed Limit ??  lol  I'd be looking for that candid camera; their way of keeping us in line.  lol 

These are great ... thanks you guys ... You are the BEST.  :-)

This is my first post here on the Forum Challenge, "Contradictions" really gets you thinking.

I saw this on the way home on Friday afternoon. The traffic suddenly came to a standstill and one direction had been blocked off and another street opposite had also been taped up by the police.    A wedding car had gone right through a wall !
Not the best picture but  I have called this   " THE WEDDING DAY, THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE !

Actually, for some, this may not be a contradition at all. Seems like my first wedding was a train wreck from the "I DO" and it was all downhill from there. LOL. Great shot. There is a nice hole in the view over to the hole in the wall. :-) Now if that groom will just learn to listen to his bride's directions ("I said, turn LEFT at the stop sign!!!) and stop being so stubborn, this may never happen again to them.

Well I am a bit late but this one was easy for me. On my nature walk is this section of a broken fence laying on the ground. This tiny daisy managed to find its way thru the pieces. This is my first forum challenge, I sure enjoyed viewing all the works!

cool looking

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

 As usual I am fashionably late to the party.  Sorry I have been very busy.  These are shots I already had on my hard drive.

 

These have been some marvelous images.  I have enjoyed all of them and enjoyed trying to find my own "Contradiction".

Thank you very much everbody who entered in to the fun with this challenge.  Lets see even more entries into the next challenge
