This is my second time participating in Robin’s Quotes from the Masters. She provides a quote and then you can interpret the quote via pictures, stories, poems, and more. Here is this week’s quote:
“If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet…maybe we could understand something.” Federico Fellini
This photo was taken in Chobe National Park at sunset. During this sunset, I noticed that many of us were quiet and just watched. For other entries please visit her page.

I understand that this is a beautiful photo. It makes me sigh in happiness :).
I’m glad!
Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the quote!
I was impressed with Robin’s choice. It really resonates.
Aaah, beautiful… I do so like sunsets – it does tend to bring about a quietness. 🙂
Rightfully so…when something is putting on a show like this, we should appreciate it.
Yes, I love that hush at sunset too.
Me too…it can heal the soul.
I could imagine the silence while witnessing that scene! Beautiful shot TBM
Sometimes words can’t explain what one feels.
They say silence is golden. Your interpretation of the weekly quote was spot on.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks for such a kind comment Francine.
Love the quote and really like your breathtaking photograph, it is simply amazing.
Thanks Vinnieh…the quote really inspired me.
Beautiful photo, TBM. Something so glorious does inspire silence.
I’m so glad you joined in the challenge! Thank you. 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity. I have family visiting soon so I may be absent for the next week or two, but I like this challenge so I’ll return when things slow down.
Amazing how much we were if we listened …. or tasted while we ate …. of examine while we look … great pic! (Sorry I haven’t been around of late – as I try to catch up).
I agree Frank, we all should take more time to live in the moment and enjoy. And no worries, you are always welcome when you get a chance. Life gets busy and I appreciate any time you stop by for a visit. I’ll be away from blogging soon for a bit, so please accept my apologies for a short absence.
Words of life. It is in silence that we get to hear the deepest longings of our heart. Sometimes we need to consciously just keep quiet and enjoy what the day has unfolded in front of our eyes, like the inspiring sunset. Thanks.
Wonderful words…thanks for sharing. Just beautiful.
Beautiful sunset! So peaceful and serene, and a perfect nightcap.
Yes! Such a beautiful way to end a day.
The beauty of nature can make us go quiet.
I really like the quote.
It is a great quote…I think it is the first time I read it. Some people have a way with words to silence others, in a good way.

How true and beautiful… Thank you dear TBM, I am impressed so much. Love, nia
Thanks Nia.
A sunset always asks for quiet and reflection in my mind… the end of a day, the beginning of another…
Nature knows how to put on a show that demands respect.
This was a great shot for this quote. Great interpretation. Love it. 🙂
Thanks…when I read the quote I knew I wanted to use a sunset photo. This one spoke to me.
What a beautiful interpretation of the quote
Thanks Jo. It means a lot coming from you.
This is fun! I like the idea of interpreting a quote through images. That is a gorgeous sunset. Reminds me of the kind of sunsets I’ve seen when in California.
It is fun to see what images people associate with the quotes. Thanks Jackie.
Oh from one sunset to another have a look here
