This was a photograph taken in on a ride in a friends truck. I meant to only capture the view but once I saw the picture, I realized that what I captured was a "clash", a near cacophony of light. The red and green lights are overwhelming, and the saturated touch of yellow and asymmetrical dashes of light blue just seem to add the the craziness of it all. The scenery seems wild because the colors are so bold but don't support each other and yet, it somehow....works. I don't understand it and to be honest, it made me feel a little awkward, at first, when looking at it, but now that I look again, I feel excited and elevated. The "clash", uncoordinated and unsupported, has this vivacious quality that gives me energy!
Great post. This type of clash is not seen a lot and understandably can cause the unease - the clash mainly happens with the unsettling green - take it away and the amber and red will not affect you the same way
