nice hue. was it raining? ( a person with umbrella in the distance?)
mine is a bit of a cheat 🙂 – it was anything but quiet on the other side of the arch – “The Brussels Love Bugs Parade gathers together more than 130 VW Beetles for a day packed with activities!”. but it is not that obvious, is it? 🙂

😀 It is not an umbrella, but I can see how you might think that. I guess that branches look wet too. I don’t mind if you are cheating. Photograph is about what is shown, not about what really happened. FYI, my capybara from Thursday’s Special wasn’t really cold 😉

This is a very serene shot, Paula, reflective too. A little sad perhaps? Hope you are feeling a bit better. xx

Yes, it is a little sad and sad music was added to enhance it. Thank you, Tish 🙂 I am on a path of recovery I think….

It feels like raining but so quietly it could also be the moment just after the last raindrops have reached the ground… You definitely have created a very powerful mood (set) with the photo and music, Paula. Beautiful with the hinge of sadness deep down inside…

It made me think you are the second person thinking it was raining.. Did you see an umbrella too, like Klara? There isn’t any umbrella in this pic, and though the ground was muddy and wet, there was no sign of rain in the air. It must be my editing and intent to give it this feel of sadness that you have recognised. Your entry for this Sunday has made me go WOW 😀

I noticed the person on the other side (or i had the feeling there was a person) but not umbrella. Just the glow gave the feeling the ground has been recently touched by raindrops. But then undertone for me was sadness…it could be felt in a few ways.
Thank you, Paula, I always enjoy to give it a try with your challenges and see where they take me. 🙂

The music is very lovely, and wholly adds to the scene. A study in tristesse. I missed it the first time around. Here is my ‘quiet’ with a rather different mood; http://wp.me/pKVAM-1bB

That’s a very intriguing shot, Tish. The covered figure that I can only identify as feminine. Is she a nun? The glow around her makes her look almost holy 🙂 (you are full of surprises – I like that in people)

Yes, the coat does look like a habit seen like this. Sarah, in Goth mode, added a lower tier extension to her black coat – to go with the rather robust boots 🙂

Wonderful quietness in those reflections. “Quiet” is a conceptual theme for a photo. None of my recent photo-subjects qualify. Twins are definitely not quiet, unless they’re asleep or up to mischief.
