Church Bells


I work downtown right next door to an historic church. Every day at precisely 12:00 noon the church rings it's bell and then plays a hymn. Originally, the bell was a bronze bell, but it has gone digital. I have gotten in the habit of eating my lunch when I hear the bell. Kind of like Pavlov's dog.

  1. Now that's charming. No. If you'll allow me - heavenly.

  2. Very cool. After lunch, do you do a bell-y dance? Sorry, couldn't resist : )

  4. What lovely music to have lunch by. One of our churches in town does the same thing. Are the fires under control yet?

  5. I love bells. At one time in my life, I started a bell collection. Ended up with a few hundred. Got tired of polishing them, so they are in the back of a closet. But when it comes to the large bells, I really love all the overtones!

  6. What a nice way to start your lunch! I love hearing church bells, and it seems like they are getting rarer now.

  7. How divine is that! Digital now, huh? Wow...I guess I wouldn't even have given it a thought. I suppose many churches have that technology by now. Interesting.

    Love the view of that roof line, too!

  8. Beautiful! There is a church close to me, and I always hear the bells at 9 pm, (usually out with the dogs)! Funny how that becomes part of the day!
