Quiet Festival
Ocean City, New Jersey

Outside City Hall in Ocean City, New Jersey, participants gathered for the 19th annual Quiet Festival in November 2008.

"People threw maple leaves or [seedlings], watched them fall to the ground, and then had a yawn-off," said Ross McDermott, a National Geographic Young Explorer who photographs festivals around the United States.

Other festival happenings include a wind-chime symphony, a poetry reading, group whispering, and naps.
