My husband’s ancestral origins link to Galicia, Spain. Galicia, known as “the Green Spain, ” is a place where you can sometimes find the unexpected. Below are three images from the town of Gondomar in Galicia that seem to reveal a somewhat unexpected pairing of things.
What do you think? Do you think these pairings are unusual? For example, when you think of a church, do you also think of wine? And, when you think of crosses and religion, do you also think of cannons and war? Last, when you think of wine receptacles, do you think about small, white porcelain cups?
I’d love to know whether you think these three pairs of images convey any element of surprise, and, I’d also enjoy seeing any unexpected pairings that you’ve captured.

Nice shots! The vineyard and the church actually juxtapose little if you consider the wine/Communion connection.
