A simple apartment comes to life with good composition. Simplifying the elements makes for an interesting image.
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.
--David Henry Thoreau
This photo was taken Dec 28th, 2011 at Okangan Falls BC. That is Skaha Lake in the foreground. Shot with a Nikon D300 10-24mm lens @ 10mm (5 exposures) and processed in Photomatix Pro. It was then converted using the plug in Topaz Simplify 3.
A composition I did that I later passed through various filters like oil paint and topaz simplify.
Sadly on the second one the grainy effect on the lens that I really liked is lost.

Several years ago, I sold my 4-bedroom house and moved to a small condo in the city. I made some hard decisions about what to keep and what to shed. Simplifying my life so drastically was exhilarating. But, like kudzu, the "stuff I think I need" has been slowly creeping back in and choking me. Time to defoliate again :)

I always want to simplify. Get rid of stuff. Less clutter in our lives. Keep it simple. Focus on what is important.

I took this with my Blackberry.
Used Topaz DeNoise, Detail and Simplfy to create this final product. It turned out far better than I expected.
One of the earliest customers for the Boeing 787; China Southern was the first out of the 3 major Chinese carriers to operate the type after taking delivery for the wide-body aircraft from mid-2013 being the smaller Boeing 787-8 of which 10 were delivered up until mid-2014. The carrier have also taken on a much larger fleet of Boeing 787-9s with 18 in service with 2 more examples on-order.
More than 10 years since China Southern introduced their first Boeing 787-8, the carrier recently issued a tender placing all 10 Boeing 787-8s for sale, which also includes 2 spare engines (these being General Electric GEnx-1B70s). Separate from the tender, China Southern are also looking to sell their Boeing 777-300ER fleet.
The carrier is in the process of right-sizing and simplifying their long-haul fleet, especially in the wake of reduced international long-haul demand. China Southern has almost whittled down their Airbus A330-200 fleet, withdrawn the eldest Airbus A330-300s whilst the vast majority remain on medium-haul regional flights. The long-haul fleet look set to mainly utilise their Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 787-9s.
Currently, China Southern operates 28 Boeing 787s, which includes 10 Boeing 787-8s and 18 Boeing 787-9s. China Southern have 2 Boeing 787-9s on-order.
Two Zero Charlie Six is one of 18 Boeing 787-9s operated by China Southern, delivered new to the carrier on lease from CSA Leasing on 21st August 2019 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GEnx-1B74/75 engines.

The week after Spring Break is killer. The kids come back, but their brains and behavior are still somewhere between Disney World and home. It is the time of year that they are finally used to you, and you are familiar enough that they think you are their mother....they try and pull some fast ones. You just have to laugh...or you will cry!
Ironically the adults in the classroom are focusing on the last day of school and patience with the behaviors at this point is at a pretty low level....a Margarita Bar at free play time would be most welcome for us! Somehow that is overlooked and/or frowned upon by the powers that be....when really, it could only help at this point!
I for one, am hoping for a weekend of Simplicity..........but i have an uneasy feeling....an ill wind is coming. i feel it, but can’t quite tell what it will bring...........it does not feel good. my 6th sense is telling me to lay low. Breathe.........simplify...............just be.

Teignmouth, with the help of Topaz-simplify , (riffing from a buzsim start point)makes a poor photo into the picture I saw.
New Year's Resolution: to simplify...I tend to make small things monumental. I need to remember to simplify.
For starters, this is the fewest images I've every taken for a DPS assignment, 13 (oh that is probably unlucky isn't it, but well what do I care!) SIMPLIFY... One feather and snow.
Entered this image in the Beginners level, Print category at our camera club and received a 4-way tie for 1st place. 2/25/13.
Following the recent Kent County Council tender results a number of changes are taking place to some Sunday routes around the Medway Towns. One such change is the introduction of a Sunday service on route 145 (Chatham Bus Station to Warrren Wood) from 6th April, this has had a knock on effect with route 135 which runs between Chatham and Maidstone via Warren Wood, Borstal and Eccles rerouted to run via the normal weekday route of the 155 and missing out the deviation via Warren Wood.
Both the Sunday operation of route 145 and 155 start on the 6th April so the final day of route 135 was Sunday 30th March.
In dire weather on the final day of operation, route 145 branded ARRIVA Kent & Surrey 1610 GN04 UDB is seen on the section of the route not served by route 145 or 155 as it climbs Maidstone Road between Borstal and Warren Wood whilst working the penultimate northbound route 135. Sunday 30th March 2014.

Liu Ye (simplified Chinese: 刘野; traditional Chinese: 劉野; pinyin: Liú Yě; born in 1964) is a Beijing-based contemporary Chinese painter known for his bright-hued paintings of childlike female figures, his favorite cartoon character Miffy the bunny and works inspired by Piet Mondrian.[1] Liu Ye is part of a generation of artists who grew up during the Cultural Revolution. However, unlike most acclaimed Chinese contemporary art, his works have little political implications. Instead, he prefers to use a universal language to depict his inner world. His work has been exhibited extensively in China, Europe and the United States.
Liu Ye’s interest in Western art and his experience studying in Berlin distinguishes him from many of his contemporary Chinese artists who have turned their art as a weapon against the Communist Regime after the Tiananmen Square protest in 1989. As the art historian Pi Li says,"The major difference between him and his contemporaries was that he did not go through the period of rage around 1989 [following the Tiananmen Square massacre], nor did his works contain elements of 'collective' images." [5] Around the same period of time, Liu Ye was witnessing the change in Europe as the Berlin Wall came down, touring Europe’s art museums and studying masters of Western modernism like Paul Klee and Johannes Vermeer.[6] Instead of focusing on his Chinese origin, Liu Ye embraces some more universal themes like beauty, feeling and hope in his works.[7] As he puts it, " Seeking beauty is the last chance for human beings. It is like shooting at the goal; it arouses an emotion that is wild with with joy." [8] By the time Liu Ye went back to China in 1994, his works were deeply influenced by German Expressionism, showing intense personal expression with an overall gloomy tone.[9] The works by Mondrian as a symbol and the Mondrian composition had already appeared in a lot of his work. Mirror, his self-portray, and the surrealism of René Magritte are other important indicators of his early work. During this period, Liu started to depict a little scenario in each of his work, which continues to be one of his recognizable styles. After 1994, as Liu Ye returned to Beijing, his style and subject matters changed with the environment. He started to portray himself more as a little boy than a young man as he did before. More female figures appeared. The settings of his painting moved from rooms to theatres where scenes he saw in China as a little boy, his childhood dream were depicted. Chorus, fleet and sailor boys were repetitive subjects portrayed during the period.[10] His preference for using primary colors can be traced to his childhood days in Beijing as well. “I grew up in a world of red,” he recalls, “the red sun, red flags, red scarves with green pines and sunflowers often supporting the red symbols.” [11] By 2000, Liu ye had gradually developed his own distinguishable style. From 2000, Liu ye moved his attention away from himself and started to portray figures he has interest in such as Zhang Ailing[disambiguation needed], Ruan Lingyu, Andersen, Little Mermaid, and so on. At the same time, he started to paint his favorite cartoon character Miffy the bunny as a reflection of himself.[12] Liu Ye fell in love with the cartoon character created by Dick Bruna immediately after he first saw her while he was living in Amsterdam because he saw himself in the bunny, who is seemingly simple but actually extremely intelligent.[13] The Mondrian symbol returned to his work, usually portrayed together with a little girl or boy, sometimes with Miffy as well. Around 2004 and 2005, Liu Ye’s fairytale-like fantasy was replaced by a more mild and realistic style.[14] An adolescent girl is featured repetitively. Some paintings depict her engaging in rather simple activities such reading or embarking on a journey while others contain subtle sexual implications.[15] Vermeer’s influence became increasingly obvious in those works with the evidence of his pursuit of the perfection of human beauty.[16]
Absolutely love all the packaging. Laser-cut particle board, blue rubber band, in a cloth bag, in a natural mailer. The rubber band and part of the board pull out to become a money clip. Bravo, @simplify!

Like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie. Marty chopped down the tree. There I said it... my conscience is clear. Remember how he had two cameras? Well, guess who has two cameras now?
Fog rolling around Jordan Harbour middle of the afternoon, on a hot muggy day! Drop it all and dash for the camera.
My dress will include these pockets and the view B shoulder buttons, but I don't care for the split front w/ grommets.

When a car focuses on performance instead of aesthetics, you get a very subtle package that is very appeasing.
I also put the items I use less often further back, and got rid of a lot of items I have not used in ages. I cycled some panties I had not worn in a while back into the more commonly used section to spice things up, but got rid of any that were uncomfortable and meant I tended not to wear them. My best friend will be happy to note I culled a bunch of my granny bras. Of course I am mostly wearing nursing bras now anyway.
