Pretty Surrounded by Rubble

There is something about a composition set in contrast that always seems to amplify the spirit of its opposites.

"Innocence" (the title of the 19th century litho pictured) becomes even more gentle among stacks of dusty, old foundry patterns. It is shockingly out of context. The colors appear unusually subtle and the subjects completely at peace. The sweet, childlike image rises above the strong surroundings, and kindness rules the day.

Thank you, Dayne, for the beautiful photo.
