Not sure that I'd consider this minimal landscape but, the rock wall is beautiful. Not scoring, just commenting.

Interesting view, but it seems a bit cluttered for a minimalist picture.

Doesn't look minimalist to me, sorry. Nice green though.

You have photographed a hidden gem of a landscape. It seems to take me back in time to a point when the creation was largely uninhabited. It is definitely a found spot. My interpretation of a minimalist landscape is to show a photograph of a largely uncluttered space to show it's openness. It's major compositional element is the use of negative space to create a focus point on the subject. Here the subject is a definite closed space. I love the photo, but it is not really minimalist.
