Another find on the side of a dumpster in Asheville, North Carolina. This back street gave me a lot of presents to delight in over Christmas.

In an Asheville alleyway, I came across rusted dumpsters covered with beautiful color palettes. This one conforms to no rules of color theory, and yet seems to me beautifully harmonious.

The graphic lines and complementary colors of blue and orange attracted me to this subject in an alley.
It might look well printed on metallic paper, and tie into the series of doors I photographed awhile back in the catacombs of Savannah.
Edit October 2, 2010: I replaced the original image with another, attempting to bring out more color and contrast. Following is version 1 for comparison—change is more obvious in the larger versions:
