to find a gaggle of bells atop the rise overlooking Birrarung Marr - Melbourne
Click to gift :)
I find church bells ever so evocative. Waves carry the sound through village geographies, or for that matter urban ones too.
To find a gaggle of upside down bells atop the rise overlooking Birrarung Marr (the Yarra River), each sitting on a long pole, self-conscious in the Melbourne air, I'm struck (not meant to be a pun). As they sound out, the bells compete for space, which only silence restores; I delight in the dissonance.

I made this short recording of the ringing federation bells.
