I took this picture on a little Kodak point n shoot camera a few years ago, before I got a bit more serious with my photography and bought myself a DSLR. This was the view from our hotel beach decking looking out across the southern caribbean. I just liked the simplicity of the Tiki sun shade against the perfect blue Caribbean sky.
“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
by Christopher Sadlowski
In all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. ~ Longfellow
Easdale is a tight-knit community made up of a few small cottages, a community hall, one restaurant and a museum. There is slate everywhere – in the walls, on the roofs, on the beaches and sitting in great piles all over the island. In fact, it’s pretty hard to spot anything that isn’t made from slate. Remote and rocky, it suddenly feels like landing on another planet. The further you get from the hustle and bustle, the more the simplicity of life reveals itself. You can tell that we really enjoyed our time here.

Taken through the window of a moving amtrak train in November 2007...
In 1914, Russian manufacturer "Dux" arranged to build the type G's under licence at their Moscow factory.
Originally built as racing monoplanes, Type Gs were initially used in the unarmed reconnaissance role, although on occasion they were used to ram enemy airplanes. To maximize the effectiveness in these attacks, pilots used to modify their planes. Ranging from reinforced landing gear for more effective ramming to more unconventional additions, such as saws fitted to the bottom of the fuselage or grappling hooks armed with explosives.
Despite the visible simplicity of the plane, it was a bit challenging for me to build in 1/45 (I've got a lot to learn). The chosen color and scale left not enough room for fancier techniques, so some creative liberties were taken.
I also built the QF 1 pounder AA gun (Pom-Pom), just for a good measure.
You can find the instructions video on my YT channel (same name as here)
