Simplicity can be addictive ♥

I put the word simplicity in quotes not because I really intended to name the shot that, mostly because it was another lesson in a long procession of lessons that I've learned doing this hobby. Usually on my nightscapade trips I end up having "great" ideas pop into my head, after long days of hiking/working/traveling I'll have lightbulb moments spontaneously while out roaming under the stars. Then when I'm behind my computer putting in the grunt work I'll often think to myself "what in the hell was I thinking?" This is the result of one of those spontaneous lightbulb moments.
This is a shot taken up in the Uinta Mountains in Utah, I was originally going to hike to the top of Bald Mountain and get a large pano from the summit, but I arrived at the trailhead late and was unsure of the snow/trail conditions (which was a good call as I learned the next morning on my climb up). Instead I scouted a meadow below the mountain that had some nice high-elevation alpine ponds with incredibly clear water and some interesting boulders scattered about. I framed this picture with the idea that it would just be a simple scene, a calm/clear pond with a lone rock poking out set before a beautiful Milky Way Core. Except I, again, forgot how utterly nightmarish it is to edit tracked shots with trees. Ugh.
12 shots for this one taken with my Nikon D800E and Sigma Art 50mm lens on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer. Sky shots are 3 minute exposures at ISO 800 and f2.8, foreground shots are 3 minute exposures at ISO 1600 and f1.8.
Pilot Knob State Park
Yes, back hiking in our beautiful state park watching spring return once again. It's nice to see green, buds and seedlings hanging on the trees.
It's what I call the beauty of nature, or "Art of Simplicity!" We see it, but don't always stop to appreciate how delicate and beautiful it really is . . .

Yesterday I had time to reflect and was thinking that sometimes we take for granted the very same things we should be most grateful for. At times we find ourselves so busy rushing around, juggling different tasks simultaneously, typing on keyboards (like I am doing right now) instead of talking to each other in person.
Being grateful is not convincing yourself that everything's great, as sometimes life throws challenges at us. Being grateful is choosing to focus your attention on what you care most and appreciate. Such as, being outdoors and enjoying the sun setting down (I’ve yet to experience a sunrise) on a rural scenery not far from home.
So simple, and yet so beautiful.

The quality or state of being simple, unmixed, or uncompounded; as, the simplicity of metals or of earths.
West Mersea,Mersea Island, Essex.
I sometimes find that the most dynamic shots are those where the elements within are kept to their most simplistic.

Un petit ponton pour changer... Cadrage difficile pour ne pas avoir la berge tout en gardant un point de vue à la bonne hauteur. Bonne journée !

Taken in Torre Mileto, Gargano - Apulia. Italy
During September 2021 had a great travel in the Gargano region, Apulia Italy .
Every single night we admired fantastic sunsets!
"Gargano (Italian pronunciation: [ɡarˈɡaːno]) is a historical and geographical sub-region in the province of Foggia, Apulia, southeast Italy, consisting of a wide isolated mountain massif made of highland and several peaks and forming the backbone of the Gargano Promontory projecting into the Adriatic Sea, the "spur" on the Italian "boot". The high point is Monte Calvo at 1,065 m (3,494 ft). Most of the upland area, about 1,200 km2 (460 sq mi), is part of the Gargano National Park, founded in 1991. In this region since 1978 a feud has been fought between the clans of the Società foggiana.[1]
The Gargano peninsula is partly covered by the remains of an ancient forest, Foresta Umbra, the only remaining part in Italy[citation needed] of the ancient oak and beech forest that once covered much of Central Europe as well as the Apennine deciduous montane forests ecoregion. The Latin poet Horace spoke of the oaks of Garganus in Ode II, ix."
