A day out in Bath England
Today's collection is inspired by a quotation I read in a comment by Taifallos on Artbug's July 31 posting. The quotation was by Oscar Wild
Simplicity is refuge for the Complex. I have absolutely no idea what it means but somehow it subliminally determined the photos I have chosen today. Most were photographed yesterday in Bath.
3 quotations by Leonardo Da Vinci
1. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
2. There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
3. Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art

Here is a short French video for Artbug who felt a bit down lately. It is called The Little Things.

Interesting set of your philosophy of life !! Let me combine: * You are a yoyeur (#1) * You are a rubber (AND womens shoes!!)fetishist (#2 #20) * You practise Bohemian life (#3) * You are immoderate orderly (#6 #19) * You don`t have washing lines (#7) * ...because of #7 you urgently need additional income! (#8) * Sometimes you run one's head against a wall (#9) * You get hung up about size ( LOL !!) (# 17) and dream about double length !!! Ok - I think I will stop now - to give your other friends a chance to comment your series! ;-))

You made an enchanted world of your daily life. I think I shall look more closely to the "wild" things I see on my way

that's quite a sentence, you know... but it's also typical oscar wilde, the bloke that never got tired to twist and turn every term until it meant nothing anymore (classical dandy behavior). i don't understand it fully myself, but i guess simplicity IS somehow an illusion, a necessary model of the complex reality. it doesn't change the complexity of reality to try to understand it by modeling it in a simpler version. hence, all the patterns we see and find so compelling in our perceptional domains. maybe it's US HUMANS who are simple minds. no matter how complex we think we can be as intellectuals, simplicity is what makes us happy puppies. ;-)

Thanks for your insight Eidea. Part of my answer would be to reflect on tomorrow's entry on The Encyclopaedia of Stupidity where Matthijs van Boxcel says that stupidity is the mystical foundation of our existence (Read his book to see why!) and that simplicity creates the best stupidity and so better wisdom Think of it as a photograph. If you cut a corner of the above image you could magnify it to the same size but it will no longer match the original image but will be an enlargement of the corner only. But if the image were a holographic image the corner would recreate the entire image again if enlarged, even over many iterations with gradually decreasing clarity. The simple in the complex is like a mandelbrot which is a complex design composed of iterating nested simplicities. See and try it for yourself. Now that is food for thought!

The reflection with the eye is brilliant.
