What a great old bell.

I like your choice of diagonal composition which shows such great detail of the bell with the church in the background

Nice shot

Nicely captured- do you think it doubled as a school bell too?

@olivetreeann I think it could have been a school bell. A lot of rural churches were also schools. It may originally have been a plantation bell. I have not been able to find out much about the history of this church, which is not unusual for small rural churches.

lots of character here, you captured it well
