Theme ~ Diptych


Kathy picked the theme for this week:  Diptych.  Basically, this is a composition of two images which are related to each other in some way, and which can tell a story.  Here are my diptychs, starting with my header image:

Moser Tower and Millenium Carillon, Naperville, Illinois.

Personally, I think the tower is a monstrosity--our family calls it the Tower of Sauron (for you Lord of the Rings aficionados)--but it houses a carillon that plays at scheduled times throughout the day, and you can also climb to the top.  The views are phenomenal, which is the main reason I do like the tower.  Read about it here.

I chose this set of images because I love the lines that are created within the images--first vertical then horizontal and curved.  I also love that the colors blend so well between the images, and that there's a balance between the vertical first image, and the horizontal orientation of the second.  And there you have my reasons.  :)

On to the rest, with simple captions because hopefully the images tell their own stories!

January wedding.

Yardwork.

Wisconsin farm.

Josh's honors convocation.

Dancin' music.

I was going to use two of the below images in a diptych, but since I couldn't decide which two to use, I created a triptych instead!

Rural Illinois farm.

I think the three images go perfectly together to create a "big picture" of the farm.  Thanks for letting me cheat a little on this week's theme!

  2. I had a triptych, too, though I did not assemble it. I think it was kind of fun pulling pictures together to make these compositions.

  4. Very nice collection of diptych! Great view for the tower, but I don't think I would like to be climbing when the bells tolled. Strawberries make a tasty diptych, but I think Josh's convocation is the one you will remember longest!
