A solitary tree with pink blossoms stands in a mist-filled landscape. The ground is lightly covered with snow, adding to the ethereal, dreamlike quality.

Still using nvi on Slackware.

No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.

I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.

Gently down the stream.

'Zahlen: Vier' #FotoVorschlag

#PletzfeldMomentsInTime #photography #minimalism #darktable #mywork #myphoto

A calm, open body of water fills most of the frame under overcast daylight. In the center of the image, a sleek, narrow, bright red rowing shell (a four-person sweep boat) glides smoothly across the water. The boat is viewed from behind and slightly above.Four rowers sit in a single-file line facing backward toward the stern. Each rower holds two oars that extends out to the side of the boat; the white blades of the oars are just entering or leaving the water in mid-stroke, creating small splashes and ripples. There is no coxswain visible, suggesting this is a coxless four. The water around the boat is grayish-blue and gently rippled, with no land, other boats, or horizon visible in the frame.

When nature imitates art : Rippling patterns in sand with pebbles

https://ez-lorenz.pixels.com/featured/rippling-patterns-in-sand-with-pebbles-ez-lorenz.html

Rippling patterns reminiscent of seaweed are etched into the wet sand. Small pebbles are incorporated into these organic designs, adding intrigue and creating an interesting focal point.
These natural designs are ephemeral, lasting only a brief moment before the next wave or tide washes them away.

Old profile pic (extremely post-processed)

* This week marks a #Fediversary on my current host #CyberPlace

#ThrowBackThursday #Minimalism #Selfie #Photography

A minimalist, line-art selfie, made in Photoshop somewhere between 2010 and 2015. The style is highly abstract and minimalist, using only a few simple black lines on a white background to suggest the facial features and hair.

The hair is represented by a cluster of short, curved, somewhat jagged lines on the top of the head. Curved lines suggest the eyebrows or the crease of the forehead.The eyes give the impression of a focused gaze. There is a single, short, curved line that suggests the bottom and side of the nose. A long, gentle curve suggests the contour of the jaw and chin.

A simple, upward-curving horizontal line forms a smile.

Take a deep breath - handmade ink and watercolor painting

Take a deep breath is a combination of ink drawing and watercolour painting by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute cat sniffs at pink carnation blossoms. The kitten has closed its eyes and seems to enjoy the scent of the flowers with a smile. Take a deep breath and relax. The black minimalist ink drawing of the cat on a white background and the loose watercolour washes of the flowers in vivid shades of pink and green create an exciting pictorial effect.

Minimalism isn’t about aesthetics.
It’s about removing waste and keeping only what’s functional.
The character comes from use, not decoration.

A few moments of the same idea, different contexts:

Enjoy the Day is an ink drawing in landscape format drawn by the artist Karen Kaspar. A cow lies relaxed on a meadow and looks away from the viewer to the left. The drawing is drawn with a few minimalist strokes in black ink on a white background. The animal is enjoying the day and radiates calm and peace.

simple line

#monochrome #minimalism #winter #trees #photography

Photograph of a field covered in very white snow, with a single row of shrubs at the top of the image. The shrubs grow in a trench in the snow formed by a stream, rendered invisible by the snow covering it. Behind the shrubs, the snow-covered field rises and recedes, giving the snow a slightly bluish hue.

Photographie d'un champ couvert de neige très blanche, avec une simple rangée d'arbustes dans le haut de la photo. Les arbustes poussent dans une tranchée dans la neige formée par un ruisseau, rendu invisible par la neige qui le recouvre. Derrière les arbustes, le champ de neige remonte et s'éloigne, rendant la neige un peu plus bleutée.

Rust never sleeps.

@FotoVorschlag 'Korrosion' #FotoVorschlag

#PletzfeldMomentsInTime #photography #seascape #SeascapePhotography #sea #ocean #minimalism #darktable #mywork #myphoto

The picture shows a scene by the sea. A rusty chain can be seen in the foreground, which runs vertically and is presumably attached to a ship or a mooring. The chain has a reddish-brown color due to rust and consists of large, oval links. A calm, deep blue sea stretches out in the background, merging with a clear, light blue sky. The horizon line is gentle and gives the picture a peaceful atmosphere. There are no other noticeable details or objects in the picture.

Started a new 2D scribble.

I usually start in greyscale, to focus on the shapes first.

Work will continue tomorrow. I'll post updates in this thread…

"One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them"
-- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

#PletzfeldMomentsInTime #photography #MinimalismMonday #minimalism #MonochromeMarch #MonochromeMonday #monochrome #BlackAndWhite #BlackAndWhitePhotography #bw #bnw #darktable #mywork #myphoto

This is a black-and-white close-up photograph of a sturdy metal hitching ring mounted on a very old, heavily weathered wooden barn wall. The wood shows a rough, deeply cracked texture. The grain runs straight up and down like long wrinkles. You can feel how old and worn the wood is: there are splits, peeling patches, dark knots, and areas where the surface has eroded. Right in the center sits a rectangular metal mounting plate, solidly fixed to the wood with four screws — one at each corner — each with a clear star-shaped head. The metal plate itself is a bit shiny in places but also shows tarnish, scratches, and the patina of long use. Attached to the middle of this plate is a large, thick, perfectly circular metal ring. The ring dangles freely downward, smooth and solid, big enough to easily loop a lead rope or reins through. The lighting creates sharp contrast: the bright metallic hardware stands out strongly against the dark, textured wood. The photo is tightly framed so nothing else is visible — just this simple, practical piece of farm equipment. Overall feeling: rugged, reliable, and full of character. It’s exactly the kind of ring you would find on an old stable or barn to safely tie up a horse while brushing, feeding, or saddling it.
