This week Elizabeth of Albatz Travels is our guest host – and she has got an exciting task for us! Please visit her site for excellent guiding to diptychs:
A diptych is two images placed in proximity to one another, forming a pair. To make a successful pairing there should be several things in common, and something very different, contrasting.
How about using mirrors?
My natural(!) choice is flowers and trees. And flowers from English gardens this time.
And throughout the paths of flowery fireworks, there were Castles interspersed…
So, we will move over to totally manmade art, where wonderful wallpapers in the castles created indoor gardens as well, and a different dimension through mirrors.
Artworks are interesting, for pairings too. In Japan our visit to the teamLabs exhibition with mirroring ”eggs” was fascinating.
And finally, people. The Golden Week in Japan gives you endless opportunities to enjoy beautiful people and clothes. This lovely young couple is not the same as the couple in the carriage – but their outfits go so well together. In my eyes, they make the perfect pair – and pairs.
Thank you, Elizabeth for a great learning challenge!
Last week, Leanne lead us through wonderful and different “Tourist Attractions”, capturing the essence of a place. Next week, PR will explore “Balconies,” so be sure to visit Flights of the Soul next Saturday.

These look wonderful. I really like the chrome sculptures, they look really cool.
Thank you, Leanne – they emitted smoke too…

Great pairs. Well done.
Thank you, John!
Those twins are adorable and the yellow flowers are gorgeous!!
Thank you, Nora, happy you liked it!
I loved the eggs, Ann-Christine and the way you captured them. The couples feel uncanny in their almost matching colours scheme, and well done for you to have spotted that! I love your flowers too. Only ever seen those once and I still don’t know what they are called, but they are fascinating.
I think they are called desert candle! Love them. The eggs were fascinatingly displayed too. Thank you, so glad you enjoyed them.
How lovely! The eggs are very interesting..
Thanks, they were!
Beautiful photos Ann-Christine 😀
Thanks, Cee!
You have such magnificent photos to start with, and the combinations makes them into something more. I loved them all but for some reason was particularly fascinated by the Japanese kimonos. I see that I will have to go to Japan again, and in the spring this time.
Thank you – and yes – I could go again too! A great challenge!
Lovely interpretation of the challenge! I love the diptych of the couple at the end. Well done!
Thank you, Marie – I was pleased with those couples when I found out!
Great choices for the theme! I especially like the bright yellow flowers pair and those mirrored eggs 🙂
Thank you, Sarah – a fun challenge indeed.
Ann-Christine, I love the pairings of the Japanese couples, and the beans. Great examples for the challenge.
I am happy you liked them, John!
Superb pair collection, AC!
Thank you, Philo!
You are welcome, AC
Some great pairings, Ann Christine! Love the yellow flowers, the views of that corridor and the William Morris wallpaper at Standen, the people, and those eggs….nice
♥ Loved Standen.
great post, I did enjoy the pairings – you had put some thought into this.
Thank you, Ritva – an interesting challenge. Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous dyptychs, every one.
Thank you, Margaret!
Ann-Christine, what a wonderful post and gallery. The flowers were stunning, but I gotta say that the couple diptych in the end took the main prize. What a great diptych!
Thank you – I found it fitting and fun!
Loved this one Ann-Christine. The eggs are great and the people very clever!
Thank you, Tina! I had fun with this one.
Great pairs Ann-Christine! I like your interpretation of this challenge, and your images are amazing.
Thank you very much, Anne, it was a great challenge!
