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.
I love the simplicity of this composition and how my eye travels down to the tip of the arching leaf. Inside the bulb of the glass vase one can see the balcony railing outside the window.
Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
Morihei Ueshiba

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Southward Car Museum near Wellington - a truly world class collection of cars from all eras and well worth a look.
Rather than take images of complete cars, I decided to challenge myself a little and see if I could get a few 'arty' images of cars - cars as art I guess I would term it. Quite a change from my normal landscape work!

It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.
-Rabi Thakur
We all pursue happiness, but don’t often think about chasing simplicity. Perhaps happiness could come more often if we were simple. Simple is – if you think about it – quite complicated. Often people misidentify simple through thick glasses of their prejudices as some kind of retardation where the soul has failed to mature. But to be simple, one must be mature enough to know what truly matters. And therein lies the complexity. Amidst the outer world vibrant with sensory stimuli and the inner world full of bittersweet memories, what do we choose to keep and how much can we realistically discard? Perhaps simplicity spans a spectrum where one end is the heart of a child and the other is the mind of a saint. Everyone, on most days, exist somewhere in between those extremities.
So, the question is, how simple are you?
I have been looking for minimalist photo opportunities recently during my adventures.
I came across this unassuming rock, just as the morning sun began glowing through the thick morning fog. It ticked all the boxes, grabbed the camera and captured this.
Purity and simplicity
are the two wings
with which man
soars above the earth
and all temporary nature.
(Thomas a Kempis)
