Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #102 ~A Quiet Moment~

This challenge was kindly provided by P.A.Moed find more details here

This week, we are challenging you to capture “A Quiet Moment.”  Maybe it’s a walk early in the morning or the time you sit down with a book and a cup of coffee.  Include shots captured at home or in your neighbourhood, or from a trip to a faraway place months or years ago.  It’s totally up to you.

My Submissions

Watching the glorious Hungarian sunsets are magical. For this shot I was sat high up the side of the hill looking across the valley, watching the ball of fire gently descending behind our village church until it was totally out of view. A very relaxing peaceful moment.

“Sunset”

On a crisp autumn day, the walk around the village fishing lake is so peaceful. The only sounds are the birds foraging for food and the crunchy leaves underfoot. The bench is a welcome sight on a long walk. Just the occasional ‘plop’ from a fish rippling the water or a duck quacking to his friends.

Autumn Peace

I like the sound of water, especially the gentle wooshing it makes in these fountains it is inexplicably soothing. So pleasant just sitting and relaxing in the hot summer sun, time stands still….but not the fountains!

My last ‘Quiet Moment’ photo is entitled “Reflections”. The trees make fabulous reflections in the lake all year long and is the perfect place to come for some indulgent reading or photography.
