Maybe not quite simple, but peaceful?

 

[Ken Rennie]

I have previously posted almost all of my minimalist scenes so I delved into the far past (2010) and unearthed some fairly simple landscapes. Ken

Sycamore Gap with Hadrian's Wall dipping down and up

The much photographed Blackrock Cottage with Buachaille Etive Mor in the background

The reeds at the southern end of Derwentwater with the River Derwent in the foreground and Skiddaw on the horizon

Hohenschwangau with Alpsee in the background from a cycling trip along the Alps.

Alan, thank you for sharing these “simply” beautiful examples. The Beverly Beach image is very nice (my favorite) as well as the Lower Antelope Canyon capture.

Michael (is that correct?), these are wonderful images—I especially like the Eureka Dunes image—perfect!

 

[Ben Egbert]

I don't do much minimalism, so I had to look and not sure this qualifies.

 

[John Holbrook]

Ben, a perfect image for this week‘s task—a beautiful capture—the sky, the highlights in the foreground, love the everything about it.
