Greetings Robins! Time for your next photo challenge. This challenge was suggested by Monica and it’s more of a concept than a subject. Take a photo that depicts:
Silence
A quiet place, a sign, something lonely, a subject that evokes silence. Lots of possibilities to capture silence in a photo. Look about and listen, you will see silence.
This last week I’ve had some early morning quiet walks along the Sammamish River/Burke Gilman Trail north east of Seattle. My photos are from the trail and of the reading room in Suzzallo Library at the University of Washington where it is silent.

Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

The magic and serenity of these photos is captivating… glorious, Ellen! Happy weekend :o) ((HUGS))
Such perfect selections for the theme! The cavernous interior of the empty church was a brilliant idea. Very nicely done!
very pretty and yes seems so peaceful
that river trail is gorgeous! that would be a wonderful place to spend an afternoon; loved the picture of the library too; that is definitely a great interpretation of silence
enjoy the day
These photos are beautiful. I wish you would link them to Sightseeing Sat. I got Mr. Linky to work. The river is so serene and I love chursches!…Christine
The library has interesting touches of blue in the decor. Do the librarians even allow the sipping of coffee in there?
Lovely quiet place for a walk along the river trail.
So pretty…
I’m experiencing complete silence & peace from your photos. It’s such a treat as I’m currently living in Hong Kong where we have wall to wall people and highrises.
How I miss the serenity of the nature, praise the Lord for your catpures.
Thank you so much!
You couldn’t have picked better photos to depict silence. They are magnificent. 🙂
Hi Ellen 🙂
What striking photographs. So peaceful and lovely. Excellent choices.

Great silence post. It’s quite remarkable to me that you were able to capture the library shot with no one in it…
I think you have some very nice photos, that represent silence. I like the last one the best, because I can almost feel the silence there.
Love the reflections in the water in that second photo. Makes me want to inhale and relax.
I can see it so vividly, silence, through your photos. Yes, the second one is so serene and calm… beautiful. I’m glad you have some quiet time in busy Seattle.
Beautiful pictures and perfect depictions of silence. The library is a stunning building and I think would naturally bring about a silent reaction of awe just in looking at it.
These are perfect and beautiful. I know the Sammamish trail very well. I live quite close. You have captured silence to perfection. Thank you for stopping by.
Beautiful river shots and what a great idea…. the Library! Why of course!
These are gorgeous and perfect for the theme! Wonderful job!
Beautiful photos. I love the shots of the river and the library! What beautiful places to be and experience the silence.
