The devil is in the details, @slowwalker.

This is not merely a photo comparison of two bells but two cultures, and perhaps, two solitudes.

All art is reflective of the time and place as is the culture. Does the one predate the other, or do they both walk hand in hand?

In a world that is mechanized and digitalized we are losing many beautiful sounds - trains, foghorns, bells - soon we may forget ourselves and inhabit a non-localized and generic world of synthesized and virtual reality.

When we preserve culture and art we preserve our identity.

Have a good day, my friend.
