Keeping it Simple

Show us 4 to 6 photos that you have taken that are extremely simple.  Show us your uncropped and unedited versions.  Sharpening and saturation is allowed.

This is some sort of strange antenna that was coming out of a very old building.  I would love to crop off that bottom fuzzy part, but the rule is no cropping!  I was in the car, stopped at a stop light, so couldn’t back off to get a further view but may to back to do so.  So strange, the juxtaposition of the old and new.
The plant itself isn’t simple, but the fact that it is a single object and the simplicity of the background caused me to include this picture.
