Weekly Photo Challenge – Contrast

The Rivers, the Lagoon and a dawn high tide

 

Contrast is an interesting phenomena.  Because it is the act of drawing attention to the differences I decided to present this beautiful image.  It is the contrasting image of the rough water of the river and the calm waters of the lagoon laying still and full beside it on the other side of the rock wall.  A striking difference when you witness this sight for real.   One is usually running very fast at high tide which this is and the lagoon lays full and still, just as a fish nursery should be.  This is  Gulayjal Murlaarl .. the sacred place of the high tides according to Gumbaynggirr

• To set in opposition in order to show or emphasize differences

•  to distinguish or be distinguished by comparison of unlike or opposite qualities

• “High contrast” usually refers to great difference in two colors’ value. In other words,  one is very light and the other is very dark.

• There is a contrast ratio.  This usually has to do with LCD and monitors etc

• These are just a few reference points for the description of the varied word contrast is.
