Tone your wants and tastes low down enough, and make much of negatives, and of mere daylight and the skies.

The Church of Dormition was built around 1100 at the behest of David the Builder. It is also named the Upper Church (zemo eklesia). Now it is the central temple of the monastery. Initially, the temple had a dome, but during the invasion of Shah Abbas in 1614, the temple was destroyed and rebuilt only half a century later, in 1678. It was restored in a simplified form, like a basilica.
On dreary days it's comforting to know that this is near my doorstep and I can't wait for the next visit.

I collected about two dozen beautiful and varied leaves last night from the trees at Costco. My husband loaded our groceries while I wandered the parking lot searching for treasures. When we got home, I carefully laid the wet leaves on towels and put heavy pans over them to keep them from curling up and getting crunchy. I had dreams all night about what I could create with them.

That is my motto in life. Simplify. When things get stressful that is what I do. Here's to keeping it simple.

Blue Dasher, Pachydiplax longipennis. The last of a very satisfying series of photos taken in Cullinan Park a year ago, and my last post with Canon equipment.

The Deer Isle Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning Eggemoggin Reach in the state of Maine. The bridge is the only vehicular connection from the Maine mainland to Little Deer Isle, one of the segments that make up the island. The span was completed in March 1939 with a main span of 1,088 feet (332 m). The bridge was designed by Holton Duncan Robinson and David Bernard Steinman. It encountered wind stability problems that were similar to those of the Whitestone Bridge and the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which collapsed shortly after it opened. The problems led to modifications which included numerous cable stays connecting cables to the tower and tower to the deck. The span today carries two narrow lanes of State Route 15.
The Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge, named for the two townships it connects, was the first bridge built between Deer Isle and the mainland, replacing an inadequate ferry crossing system and effectively opening the island to tourism opportunities. It is notable for the innovation of its designers and contractors in creating a durable, long-span, high-level structure across a navigable arm of the Atlantic at minimal cost. Unprecedented use of prefabricated and previously used materials simplified construction and minimized costs, and much of the outdoor work was completed under poor weather conditions.

Buda Castle is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest. It was first completed in 1265, but the massive Baroque palace today occupying most of the site was built between 1749 and 1769. The complex in the past was referred to as either the Royal Palace or the Royal Castle. The castle now houses the Hungarian National Gallery and The Budapest History Museum.
Buda Castle sits on the southern tip of Castle Hill, surrounded by the touristic area known as Várnegyed (Castle Quarter), which is famous for medieval, Baroque and Neoclassical houses, churches, public buildings, and monuments. The hill is linked to Clark Ádám Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge by the Castle Hill Funicular. The castle is a part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, so declared in 1987. The original Royal Palace was ruined during WWII, it was rebuilt in a simplified Stalin Baroque style during the Kádár era.

This, too, is taken in the gardens near the rose garden at Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. I think I'm having a difficult time deciding which I like more, roses or dahlias! They're both so beautiful! Hope you all enjoy!

from the Global Street Art website:
Essential Living approached us to pay homage to Spitalfields silk at 150 Commercial Street: a world-famous product dating back to the area’s strong industrial textile roots of the 17th and 18th century. The incredible artwork was designed in-house by Mark Allum.
After delving into the history of the area, Mark started to research both inspiring patterns and the mechanics at component level via schematics. He combined this new knowledge with the characteristics of the building to create a strong artistic piece which told a simplified narrative of the spool thread to pattern process. This unique and impactful concept was then translated in harmony with the building features, transforming it into a giant silk weaving machine.

photo taken in Portland Maine. Taken during the day the light was more effective as a night picture. I simplified the lines, turned the picture black and white and then put on a blue filter.
