Church Tower
Those evening bells! Those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells, Of youth, and home, and those sweet time, When last I heard their soothing chime. ..
I don't live close enough to hear the church bells at home. There are two big churches with bell towers in the town centre + the town hall also has a clock that chimes, and right now I can't recall which one does what. I think it is the town hall clock that plays a kind of tune at noon. Anyway, from home the only bells I sometimes hear are from a cemetery chapel in the other direction, when there is a funeral.
This is a beautiful clock tower! Of course, I have been taking pictures of clock towers, but we have nothing this imposing and pretty! And I love the poem!

For this blog, I have chosen a template that allows me to show pictures as big as possible . Some of the things you usually find in the sidebar, you will find here at the bottom of the page instead - Blog Archive, Followers etc.
My camera is a Nikon Coolpix 4600. For basic editing of most photos and collages I use Picasa 3. Sometimes I also experiment with some more "artistic" effects in Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro.

very nice, I like it a lot. are you close enough to hear the bells when they chime? do they ring or do they play music?

Nice pic. I like the "mounting" your blog background provides.
Happy Sunday!
