Once again I had problems with the challenge’s subject – and when I started to look through my photo folders, I didn’t real have a clear idea about what my view should be on the subject; Juxtaposition. A word I never have come across before and honestly I can hardly pronounce it. *smile
Then my thought went back to both Chicago and NYC that both are cities full of contrasts side by side.
So I started looking through my NYC folders first, because that is what has happened last … and there it was – my first day in NYC … Grand Central Terminal and The Met Life, former Pan Am building, Grand Central opened in 1871 and Met Life in 1963.
So I took the easy way out this week – not much thinking outside the box, but I really like the photo in itself.
I but I have played around with juxtaposition when it’s about my choice of music cloud – Samuel Barber’s, Adagio for Strings, Op.11, that was finished in 1936 and first performed in 1938. Which the Dutch DJ Tiësto released his trance version of in 2005. Here in a remake by the British DJ James Dymond.
“Well, I know, after all,
it is only juxtaposition,
Juxtaposition, in short;
and what is juxtaposition?”

fabulous music
Scott, thank you so much – not a trance fan, but this I really like … of course being Swedish, I have Swedish House Maffia in my blood.
But it’s a photo challenge. *laughter.
Ah..the Metlife, popular building 🙂
Yes, one of the famous ones … in New York, most famous for being PAN AM’s head office once.
I’ve seen the building in photos before, wow! 😀

Thank you so much for the plingback! *smile
I remember the building when it said PanAm! Great choice for your picture – new and old.
Have a very HAPPY and relaxed Sunday evening 🙂 xo
Dia,sorry missed you commment for the subject; juxtaposition! So sorry. Thank you again for always being so supportive of my entries. So sorry for the delay in response. I wish you a pleasant Sunday.
No sweat, my dear 🙂 You have a wonderful Sunday, too 😀 xo
Wonderful choice! I think many of us are struggling with the prompt this week 😉
Connie, I know … didn’t have a clue what to look for – hadn’t even heard or read the word before – but it I manage.
Thanks for being so supportive.
You handled this challenge beautifully. Not and easy challenge this week.
Maralee, tell me about it … never heard the word before – but it’s fun to see what others has come up with – my entry is very safe … but I like the photo.
Love the music!
Thank you so much … I like it too. *smile
You got it right Viveka, perfect choice!
Bebs, thank you so much !!!!! Got my head around it in the end.
Well done, Vivi 🙂 I know the word but I don’t think I’ve ever used it in conversation! Lots of people whose first language is English would struggle with this. But you’re no quitter! Have a happy, painfree week. Huge hug! 🙂
With a little bit of help from Google – I manage to get my head around the challenge. Very intersting word and very confussing too.
Still up to wait for my freezer to defrost … soon there.
Had a good day today .. and have some new medicine to collect tomorrow. So we hope for the best. Middle of the night hug.
That music is simply gorgeous 😀
And lovely photo!
Cheers

Uru, and so are you ….. *smile
Great one! I thought about it a long time too ! Fabulous song! I could listen all night ! Tried to find the Energy Box Mental asylum Live stream to purchase !
I suppose you could contact him over Soundcloud .. and ask where you can buy it … that is the easiest way.
I really like this track too – better than Tiësto orginal.
I GOT IT ALREADY! : ))Love this DJ and Armin VB.
Glad you got it all sorted …. I’m not a trance fan, but as a Swede – I have some of Swedish House Maffia in my veins. I love this remix.
I loved it too! Swedish House Mafia…laughing V : )
Yes, it’s all over now with them .. so sad. Have a great track on my post today – by an 74 year old Italian DJ and composer. 74 years!!!!!!
I am just home from my mothers house and I will listen post haste ! Hugs!
You don’t have to catch up with … you missed of my posts – what is missed is missed, otherwise we will burn us out through the blogging. *smile
With certain people I do like to catch up !
I take this a wonderful compliment! *smile
It was meant as such Viveka.

Good choice – perfect juxtaposition!
Tina, can find your comment in the “Notifications” – for some reason, I I have to replay here. Thank you so much for your kind suppport of my entry. This was a hard one. *smile
Ha! I like that quote. You did fine, Viveka 🙂
Noeleen, thank you so much!!! It wasn’t the easiest of challengers and hard to find a suitable quote too. I love this one – because it mirrors exactly who I feel after doing this post.
I think your entry is great… loved the music…
Rob, glad you like the music – you suprise me, but on the other hand I normally don’t like this kind of music, but this remink I really like. So that must mean that we are still very young at heart! *smile
Ok… I’m liking this post already just for the song choice!
Thank you so much! Great track, I like it too.
