Debris

Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough. —Author Unknown

How many things are there which I do not want. —Socrates

I seem to find connections to writing no matter where I look.

“Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompous frills and meaningless jargon.”

jagungal Well William Zinsser sure got that right! Your first image is a knock-out — making something interesting, beautiful even out of debris and junk. Such a strong composition! (and beautiful texture in the wood)

focussed Well they do say inspiration can strike at any time! You seem to be repeatedly and often!...I really like #1...are you trying to tel me that all I need to get me through life is 3 ssare tyres and a carton of bud light?

Madoc Those really are my kind of shots.
I just love to wander in the backstreet my camera to snap things like that. Textures are often spectacular.
Very nice.

basisimages Lovely shots. And Zinsser on weasel words etc is apt: linguistic detritus.

Nayah The first one and the association with the quote is just great!

Aniruddha This isn't simple. The first one is an awesome shot with complex layers for me.

miclaud Belles photos et citations!

oldbabe So, throw out clutter / debris, but be careful where you throw it?
Clear the mind of excess baggage, the world may look better to you?

At any rate, I would hate to be a neighbor of that first house! And litter like in the second one, only more of it, blows into our yards all the time out here in the country!

Queen911 Your post are very thought provoking. You are correct debris is everywhere.
