Giardino Botanico Alpino Saussurea (2173m), Courmayeur view map

I was struck by the similarity in colours between the building on this level, and the mountains in the background. However I was also struck by the dissimilarity of the textures.

The roof is so smooth, albeit studded with... I'm not sure what those projections are... but the mountains are completely rough and irregular. Despite the similarity in colours, the contrast in "feel" makes it clear that one is man-made, and one is made by nature. And yet... they seem remarkably complementary.
