SILENT SLIDESHOW: Journey to Mecca
http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTX14803#a=11
This is a silent slideshow that shows 20 images of a trip throughout Mecca. The first picture shows Muslim pilgrims pray on top of Mount Thor in the city of Mecca. The following images takes us through the city of Mecca and the historic monuments there. I like this photo gallery because it really describes the journey through the city of Mecca even without sound. However, without audio, this doesn't give you as much detailed information. You have to really use your imagination and figure out whats happening in each picture.
AUDIO SLIDESHOW: Somalia surgerons

This slideshow I viewed is with audio and makes a huge difference. Instead of just pictures, it describes what's happening in each image as the pictures scroll through. This makes the show more interesting as well as easier to understand. This one is definitely better at telling the story for the reasons I pointed out above.

This photo gallery is of landscapes throughout the world. With no audio and just pictures, this gives you a nice view of nature and its beauty. Audio is not needed in this because these pictures tell 1,000 words.
