At first this photo looks like it should be variety, but I believe on closure inspection it works well for unity. Firstly, the mural its self was designed to be abstract but coherent and work well together, so even though it is all different the colors and pictures flow into each other and mix well. Beyond the mural it's more or less symmetrical. The shadow of the speaker is centered, the two longer shadows on the sides are at the same point, and the bricks are even. This photo also uses good rule of thirds. The sky is the top third, the bricks the middle, and the grass the bottom. Then the first wall is the left side, mural is the middle, and the right bricks are the right side. There is also a ramp on the left side, making it unbalanced but the blue paper on the wall offsets it, restoring the balance and making unity.
