Wind chimes in the garden

This display from the Wind Chimes project shows a "fire" when the temperature is really high (windchimesnyc.com/)

from mom's house

my windchimes on the front porch

orange, pink, yellow glass with seed beads strung from bamboo and with whimsy wire at the top, hand made by me.

I grew up around cow bells, thought this would be a neat chime. It isn't, wind blows the entire thing, can't hear the bell.

But I still smile at the goofy frog.

Spotted this walking through the park one day in a really high tree

As well as being chimes it is also a solar powered light which changes colour when it comes on at night. Got it in a sale at a local garden centre :-)

I found this clock in the free pile outside of Salvation Army. The price was originally marked at $5 and had dropped gradually to 12 cents. I'll be using most of it for other projects. Kind of like the plains indian tribes used most of the buffalo.

this windchime is made of red mud found in Sri lanka. they make an extremly pleasant sound when the winds are generous!

The Katy Library on Franz Road has a beautiful, new addition. Take a stroll in the back courtyard to hear the new windchime, placed in memory of Mr. A. T. Clapp. Mr. Clapp owned the property where the library now sits, and the courtyard reflects his memory through the new windchime as well as violets growing from cuttings of his own plants. Thank you to Dorothy Bing, one of his former neighbors, for donating these.

Taken with Olympus EP1 with Nikon series E 50mm, f1.8 lens.

My first time using Rodinal as a developer. 1+100 semi-stand for an hour (45 sec continuous at the beginning, then three inversions at the half hour mark). Negs came out a little 'hot', but it's also pretty warm in the house. I might try shorter agitation at the beginning.

Also testing focus on my new Kiev 4. It works! Fuji Acros 100, incident metered for the left side of the chimes. Jupiter-8 lens.
