Every Wednesday (usually much earlier than this), I post a Wordless Wednesday over on Sorryless. I have been doing a Church series of sorts and was lucky enough to decide to photograph the Ste-Anne Basilica in Varennes at noon on a Saturday.
Sainte Anne Basilica of Varennes
I was leaving after my photo session and realised it was noon when the church bells started. I quickly (okay, I missed four beats) decided to record them.
And then, a whole ‘nother bit of bell-work started so I tried to get most of that too!

Dear Rochelle,
Kind of an oxymoron, eh? Not only do I have a bunch of words but I also added sound… Not so Wordless Wednesday after all…
But I am ever so glad you liked!
Shalom and lotsa love,
Dale

Beautiful catch! Sometimes it is all about timing. Just so happens the our handbell choir is practicing a piece about church bells. Here’s a recording ,,, https://listeninglab.stantons.com/sheet-music/search/results/?t=quick&v=cathedral+bells

Q,
Double brava with bells on top!
Now the architecture, as I’ve previously stated . . is majestic. But when you add the bells, it’s as if heaven left a calling card.
You’re doubling down with the beauty all over the place! I almost skipped past this, thinking my reader had just skipped its beat and posted the WW twice on Sorryless twice, LOL. I mean, with the way it does its business sometimes, I wouldn’t have been surprised in the least.
Beauty and bells.

B,
I couldn’t add the videos to Sorryless so I had to create a link ‘twixt the two of us 😉
Skip past! Gasp! Ya shoulda known I keep WW all for Sorryless… I never reblog or share it on my site. And that’s why I modified the titles so they’d be different.
All that to say, glad you enjoyed my brief recordings of the bells. Wish I had realised they would ring!
Beauty and bells and all things glorious.
