Ringing in the New Year

The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers, From their pulpits of stone, in the upper air, Sounding aloft, without crack or flaw, Shriller than trumpets under the Law, Now a sermon and now a prayer. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

I love the feel of these vintage bells at St. Mark's Campanile (Venice, Italy).

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
