During the Spring and early Summer, fog usually comes in from the ocean in the late afternoon/early evening along the Southern California coast, which makes seeing sunsets somewhat of a rarity at this time of year. On this occasion, however, there was an ocean-ward flow of air and I raced from my home to Santa Monica (just a few km away) in hopes of catching a multi-hued, technicolor sunset. I must admit I was a little disappointed at first by the subtlety of the colours I saw in the sky, until a brief moment just as the sun dipped behind the hills above Malibu; the entire horizon was painted in pastel, from salmon-pink to the faintest aqua. I was reminded that sometimes the greatest beauty is found in simplicity. Photographed in Santa Monica, California.

One of the things I had constantly in my mind while in Antarctica was that although the place is very different from the rest of the world there are also a lot of commonalities. Take the deserts from this part of the world as an example. When you take a close-up image of the desert you’ll usually find some very simple leading lines and this was very similar in Antarctica with lines created by the sky, the snow and the shadows.
Taking this sort of simple, less is more type of shot is not always as easy as it looks. The simpler the image the more obvious will any mistakes be. The composition needs to be really balanced for an image like this to work and I’m finding these type of photographs really useful in helping me with my commercial work and in particular with my interior photography. This is because interior photographs usually need to be really airy and bright with as little clutter as possible, which is why it’s so important to make sure your composition leads the eyes through the image, inviting the viewer into the space you are photographing.

I like the soft glow this little bolt creates through the rain. Just a simple one to contrast the last upload.

I decided to try to come up with something else using the same elements as my other shot for this challenge and I like this one better. Maybe not quite as simple but simple nonetheless. I hope everyone's week is going good so far.
Leonardo da Vinci once said that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Simplicity in design calms us and somehow inspires us, not only in architecture but also in other forms of design. Apple, for example, has refined its products over the years to such a beautiful simplicity that the products have become collectibles based on their design alone.

The ancient village of San Salvatore, built between the 17th and the 18th centuries, stands for one of the most important community of cumbessias (pilgrims’ lodgings) in this province. This small settlement was built around the homonymous church, erected in the 18th century over an ancient hypogeum and ever since served by its congregation. The hypogeum of Nuragic origin, dedicated to the pagan worship of waters, is accessible through a trap door opening on a staircase carved out of the living rock. The lower part of the shrine is rock-cut, too; various inscriptions and paintings, dating from the Palaeo-Christian to the mediaeval period, decorate its walls.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
I seek a life full of simplicity..
Life where simple things make me happy..
Life where I enjoy and cherish every single moment..
Life where happiness means laughter and love..
Haven't had my feet wet for a couple of weeks now :-) ....... so thought it fitting to visit the beach at Fingal Heads. Usually I go up around the headland at Fingal, but today I decided to stay around the beach area.
Was trying for some simplicity with Cook Island in the background and a rock. :-)
Another take at Simplicity 2596, this time, I made View B.
The fabric is a very thin fabric with dots of fabric tufts on it. Is this known as Swiss Dots?
I wore it to work for casual Friday and nobody had any idea I made it myself (if yes, they were polite not to ask me about it)! Excuse the creases, it is afterall, after a day's wear :).
This photo was taken on my last visit to the Calgary Zoo, on 14 October 2014. By now, the butterfly display may have come to an end, and there will be no butterflies till sometime, I think, in April next year. On my last visit, there were quite a few butterflies, but very few different kinds - and it was only occasionally that one of them would land and stay. This was one of the very few co-operative ones that I was lucky enough to catch. I rather liked the way it was perched near the tip of this beautiful, pink-edged leaf. Tried to find an ID last night, but without luck. Not sure if I've ever seen this kind before - couldn't see one in my Tropical Butterfly album.
Simplicity is the property, condition, or quality of being simple or un-combined. It often denotes beauty, purity or clarity. Simplicity can mean freedom from hardship, effort or confusion. Thanks Wikipedia
This is a dead sunflower against snow. I used two layers of the Simplicity texture and then added the word art (by Sue Cummings).
June 7, 2007. I love simplicity. Simplicity is beautiful. Simplicity is appreciating the little things in life.
In many ways, you probably know how to live a simple life, but do you want to? Many want the complexity and constant drama of their lives. This is something we each have to look at honestly. However, some of us really want simplicity, and some would want it if they knew what it felt like to live more simply and at peace.
With all these computing around me, all those little gadgets, all those cars parked around office, burning of fuels at traffic signals, new of terrorist attacks around the world, economy going down, prices rising up... with all that is said and done... When I just feel there is nothing left for me in this complex world, I return to where I always feel like home... I am back to Karoor... That Jutts clans with their simple yet organized way of living make me feel simple... Simple as it is at the core level.. Just less than a 40 min drive from the twin city is this wonderful place.
Taken: Just when you cross Simly Dam, one can see this colony on the way to Karoor & Ban. A sure sight for those who knows the blessing of simplicity..
Something soothing for the eyes. Having a bit of eye problems, so this seems just right for me at this point.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
