We won’t be trite and say that opposites attract, but we will say that great differences make the world a great deal more interesting. Unless we’re talking about matter and antimatter -- which, when brought into contact, explode -- pairings of two things with almost nothing in common are excellent vehicles for exposing the sheer breadth of things. With that in mind, we’ve chosen two photographs that look like they came from different planets. Our Photos of the Week bring multiple views to the table.
The town of Tamil Nadu, in India, is home to Hogennakal Falls. Mumbai native Anannya took a shot of the boat-speckled waters near the shores of the surrounding lake. Judging by the number of passengers floating in the boat to the left, it’s safe to assume the natives are aware of its beauty.
Ever been to the Swedish royal palace? Jipp05 has, and his photos of the massive courtyard make clear its opulence and grandeur. It’s about as different from Hogennakal as you can get, but taken together, the two give us a sense of just how massive the world is. Kudos to both of you, travelers.

Great picture - I've seen corracles like that in Hampi where they use them to cross the river - seriously scary transportation. Just one correction though, Tamil Nadu is a state, not a town.
