An intreresting frame

Last Sunday, when I was heading home after visiting my sister, I came across an interesting frame that I captured with my camera and wanted to share.
It is an image of a parked boat. 



However, what surprised me the most, it was not the boat itself, but how well it blended with the surrounding environment.
Usually, everyone assumes that a boat belongs to the sea. We are expecting to see images of endless little boats tied on the port throughout the whole winter, and although they are beautiful and we admire them, we do not overthink about them.
On the other hand, a boat parked in the land seems foreign. Most of the times, when I come across boats that aren't in the sea, I find that they are not that beautiful and that they have a neglect look to them.
Not this particular boat though!
As you can see in the picture there are three plants rounding this boat. One with vibrant red leaves, an olive tree full of olives (it's picking season) and last but not least this fluffy one with these bright, almost neon, flowers.
If you compare them all, you can identify their beauty and how interestingly they all blend together. 
The boat, which reminds me of summer and the warmer temperatures, is positioned just nicely in the middle. 



The red leaf plant, which totally matches with the autumn, hovers above it, adding to it a unique charm.



I don't know what type of plant it is. Certainly isn't an ivy though. The leaves have a different shape. 



The fluffy plant has covered the entire olive's trunk and also extends further in the front. Sadly, I do not know the name of this plant too, but I find it so beautiful. It is one of those plants that benefit from the colder temperatures, the morning dew and the autumn's rain and that's why it became greener and brighter and grew these happy colored flowers!



As for the olive tree, it stands there, timeless, with its branches weighted down by all those olives, waiting for someone to pick them. 

And despite the fact that each subject of this frame is different than the other, they all combine a very interesting frame, with a certain "feeling" to it. 

The boat did not "belong" there and normally I wouldn't care for it. However, I found that it had a charming look, as it was surrounded by all those plants. 
The boat represented the summer and the plants the winter.
And while together they create a strong contrast, I find it very appealing.
