Lens-Artists Challenge – Silence

This week’s theme of ‘silnce’ is an interesting one: how to convey the idea of silence through an image.

It seemed to me that silence could be conflated with tranquility and restfulness, and somehow that led me to this image of part of the foreshore in the fishing village of Pittenweem on the east coast of Scotland. With all potential distractions cropped away, it feels quite meditative – almost like a Zen garden.

This weathered sign can be found in the nearby open-air memorial of Oradour-sur Glane, a village where over 600 inhabitants – mostly women and children – were massacred by German troops in June 1944.
