12. I'm in!

Immediately thought of one shot...then thought of several others. Kept coming back to that first one.

I'm in too.

14. One of these days I'd like to have time to go out with my camera and see if I could find

opportunities to shoot the theme. But February is going to be a busy month and recently our weather
has not been very cooperative.

15. Excellent idea. Looking through photos I have already

taken - have not yet grasped the concept between something simple or something that I might have isolated or zoomed in on vs. true minimalist. But, I know there must be a difference and I am very intrigued to figure it out. Going to Mexico on Sunday with my camera - can't wait to find some minimum

16. P.S. the pic you posted is amazing ! however doesn't look like a

fun place at all. LOL

17. I highly recommend a visit to

Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve when in Idaho!!

http://www.nps.gov/crmo/index.htm

my visit there was all too brief and most of my photos from there are filed away.... it feels like you're in another world when there

In 1969 Apollo astronauts Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Joe Engle and Eugene Cernan visited Craters of the Moon. They explored the lava landscape in order to learn the basics of volcanic geology in preparation for future trips to the moon
