Welcome to Challenge 80: Minimalism

Challenge 80 is now CLOSED. The voting thread can be seen>> HERE <<

Everyone is invited to come on in and explore a world where "less is more".
Minimalism strives to reduce reality to the "least/barest" essential elements...
A minimalist image is very "simple" and "uncluttered" to the eye...
Since opinions on "meaning" vary, a photo can be "abstract-like" or not for this challenge...
>>HERE<< is a link to an STF post with some friendly discussion about the "meaning" of minimalism.

Thanks for entering photos and leaving comments...it makes the challenges so much fun!
