Taken for this week MacroMonday: Simplicity
A straight up SOOC with just a crop in PP. With little time available, this shot came to me as I walked by my car yesterday at sunrise. Dissolvment of evening mist on the hood
The simplicity does appeal to me.
I know that there are many images like this on Flickr, but I ask you to contemplate if beauty can ever truly be redundant (or "cliché", as some like to call it)? Would love your thoughts on that question.

Daffodil on a texture from Terry Pellmar, T25 B. Going for a minimalistic look, but still with a bit of a background.

Life you had, is the life we have
The time you were, is the time we are
Simplicity of life which we are enjoying, is what you lost.
Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.
- Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching

This piece of ice rock disappeared into the ocean after a few minutes on shore. It is a reminiscent of life. Our time here is just a short stopover and then we move on.
I am not used to taken such abstract/minimalist photos - what do you guys think? Is less really more? ;)
Place: Hamanako, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Hamanako (浜名湖) is a large lake at the Pacific Coast of western Shizuoka Prefecture. Originally a fresh water lake separated from the ocean, Hamanako got connected to the ocean as a result of an earthquake in 1498 and its water turned salty. The majority of Hamanako's attractions are concentrated around the Kanzanji Onsen, a hot spring resort on an inlet along the lake's eastern shores.

Simplicity is the glory of expression.

Have a great day everyone. I see they are now going to come out with another new layout. I don't like that one either. I couldn't figure out how to get to the next photo. Making it harder and harder to come here these days.

The theme for this week for the T189 52 week alphabet challenge was diffused glow, although I did not use the PSE filter, I thought the light shining through the snow drops in my garden today fitted the theme perfectly.
At hdvk, Heidelberg where I was visiting a exhibition of the great Photographer Armin Linke.

When we stop, we notice the reflections around us, if we look long enough we become captivated by the colors and motion. We become mesmerized and for a few moments in life we cast our cares away, the world passes by and we drink in the beauty around us.

There is so much beauty in life
Beauty is a gift of God
Beauty is in the heart wich touches,
another
Simplicity is beauty.
Beauty of sun setting in to ocean,
in evening
Truth is beauty, beauty is truth
Beauty is the best treasure for,
one's eye
the beauty of a love that is real.
Maria Luisa Taylor
“As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.” (Sam Abell quote)

I found a stash of old Simplicity sewing patterns in a box of stuff I got from an auction! SO fun to see these things! Mom used to make all our clothes when we were kids. Made me remember the look of the patterns and the smell of a fabric shop!
Our life is frittered away by details...Simplify,simplify,simplify ! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.

[...] It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences [...]
-- Quote by Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Rhetoric
Ferentino, Italy (May, 2005)
My life seems so complicated these days
When your days seem gone
and your nights are still,
please take the radiating
Love I gave to you.
As you travel into waters,
let the liquid clean and kill,
purge your soul of all that hinders,
allow your mind to still.
Let the flame surround,
burn away all that's bad,
let your tears evaporate,
incinerate the sad.
Feel the wind pass through you,
take away the old,
let the new into your heart,
cherish it like gold.
Walk upon the sliver beach,
let the sand erode the skin,
guide yourself into the sun,
and melt away your sin.
Don't rush down the road of life,
cherish all these, small and big.
Still your life and stop to think -
Take life as it is, even thick and thin
