Compare and Contrast challenge
Posted by Marie on September 29, 2011
I’ve been fascinated today by Brad Patterson’s blog post challenge, where he has challenged people to present two different but connected photos.
It really sparked my curiosity, so here’s my contribution. I have to admit, I came up with two pairs of photos and couldn’t decide between the two, so I’m going to share both. If it’s any justification, the two pairs are connected to each other.
Pair One
- Where do you think is this?
- How are the images connected?
- What do you want to know about this place?
Pair Two
- How are these people connected?
- Why are their moods different?
- What are they saying to each other?

Is this at the cottage bar ?
Hmm… yeah… i tried to cheat and checked the file name.
The fellas are certainly much livelier in the bottom pic. They look like they could be brothers. No idea what they’re talking about, though… but it is at the cottage bar. LOL

LOL! They are brothers – the one on the left is my Dad. They grew up in a village in Ireland (which is where the other pictures are from) and my uncle still lives there, so they don’t get to meet very often. When they do, it’s a massive catch up on either good or bad news. The pictures were taken are about 18 months apart.

When you’re not sure about a family connection, just check the nose. LOL
