Another one from our travels...Crabtree Falls, Nelson County VA...It was simply stunning up there. When I woke up and saw that the weather channel said "Fog", I was gone. I love to photograph in the fog...what does that say about me?:)
“The word ‘art’ is very slippery. It really has no importance in relation to one’s work. I work for the pleasure, for the pleasure of the work, and everything else is a matter for the critics.” -Manuel Alvarez Bravo

Purity and simplicity
are the two wings
with which man
soars above the earth
and all temporary nature.
(Thomas a Kempis)

It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.
-Rabi Thakur
We all pursue happiness, but don’t often think about chasing simplicity. Perhaps happiness could come more often if we were simple. Simple is – if you think about it – quite complicated. Often people misidentify simple through thick glasses of their prejudices as some kind of retardation where the soul has failed to mature. But to be simple, one must be mature enough to know what truly matters. And therein lies the complexity. Amidst the outer world vibrant with sensory stimuli and the inner world full of bittersweet memories, what do we choose to keep and how much can we realistically discard? Perhaps simplicity spans a spectrum where one end is the heart of a child and the other is the mind of a saint. Everyone, on most days, exist somewhere in between those extremities.
So, the question is, how simple are you?
I have been looking for minimalist photo opportunities recently during my adventures.
I came across this unassuming rock, just as the morning sun began glowing through the thick morning fog. It ticked all the boxes, grabbed the camera and captured this.
‘Ανδρος – Κυκλάδων: Όλη αυτή η γη, που τη θαυμάζεις από ψηλά έχει στα χώματα της άγια ονόματα, θυσίες, κόπους και σκληρούς αγώνες για να κρατηθεί η γη με μαλτεζόπετρες στις πλαγιές των στημάτων ................................................Andros – Cyclades -Greece: All this earth, that you admire from above has in its soil holy names, sacrifices, labors and hard struggles to keep the land with stones (maltezopetres) on the slopes……
"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”
(Paulo Coelho)
Feel a sense of purity
Ignore technology, modern world, stuff, and focus on whats important in life. Your inner self, purity, creation, beauty, and simple things of life.

Flickr Friday: Simplicity
This beautiful golden retriever was watching the sunset and seemed to be enjoying the moment very much!
A gentle sunset surf on the shores of Lake Erie as seen from where I stood on Kelleys Island. Photo taken two years ago. For some reason, people tend to mistakenly think this lake is the ocean or the sea ... I can tell who's observant and who's not when it comes to reading my description and tags. * lol *
