This photo was taken in Ayutthaya, Thailand in 2010. The beautiful silhouettes of the trappings of an old temple highlight the colorful flags at the background. The elements, both near and far, create a perfect balance in this photo.

This is a fascinating effect–and perfect for the theme.
Thank you very much, Naomi.
