Yesterday I had time to reflect and was thinking that sometimes we take for granted the very same things we should be most grateful for. At times we find ourselves so busy rushing around, juggling different tasks simultaneously, typing on keyboards (like I am doing right now) instead of talking to each other in person.
Being grateful is not convincing yourself that everything's great, as sometimes life throws challenges at us. Being grateful is choosing to focus your attention on what you care most and appreciate. Such as, being outdoors and enjoying the sun setting down (I’ve yet to experience a sunrise) on a rural scenery not far from home.
So simple, and yet so beautiful.
“I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.” – Lao Tzu

I sometimes find that the most dynamic shots are those where the elements within are kept to their most simplistic.

A look through at the port of Breskens. Steel, sand and lots of fishingnets.

Sometimes, only sometimes, i guess that simplicity is pairless. No need for gigantic edition, nor photoshop features, a simple shot it is what it is.
Took some shots at the Ocean reef marina development again. The new reclaimed land for the Marina is starting to be built on. I always find the simplicity of the water, sky and sea wall elements make for striking photos. On this day the clouds were also making an appearance and added further interest. The colours are always amazing here and the water is mostly a silty yellow/green colour which is best seen when I use the polariser to get rid of the glare. In these shots you can see the effects of varying amounts of polarisation.
I liked the simplicity of this old telegraph pole I found along a quiet country lane near Bannow Island, Co. Wexford HTT!

Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.
-- Lao Tzu
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
-- Henry David Thoreau
Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.
-- Albert Einstein
A simple tool for one job, starting a charcoal fire for grilling. This is a chimney starter, which is simply a metal tube with a wire mesh cone inside pointing toward the top. The cone provides a place to put crumpled up paper, and then the tube is filled with charcoal, and the paper is lit. Because it acts like a chimney the heat and flame are pulled upward, and the charcoal is lit. It took a few words to describe this, but it is ingeniously simple. and it works better than lighting the fire by use of lighter fluid. For 121 Pictures in 2021 #88 "Simplicity".
I like how in Winter you can see the bone structure of the landscape, the loneliness and dead feeling of it. It has a simplicity and a deep moral feeling where you can savor being by yourself.
I took this shot at Robinwood lake in the afternoon when the snow was already starting to melt and snows accompanying ner'do well cousin Slush was the order of the day. Nonetheless I liked the geese footprints and the light was good.
Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday and thanks for your friendship it means a lot to me. :-)))
