Simplicity and beauty are definitely in the eye of the beholder. A bunch of leaves – just leaves… simplicity? Have closer look. Do you see all the veins? All the different colours and shades? Purple, green, grey. The little hairs? Maybe you do but maybe you don’t and it’s just a bunch of leaves. I’ll leave that decision up to you 🙂
Speaking for myself, it pretty much depends on the day you ask me. One day I would say it’s just a bunch of leaves and walk past. The next day I would realise how much there is to see and I would get my camera out. The picture was taken at the Hortus Botanicus Leiden. The botanic garden is definitely worth visiting when you are in the area.
