"Churchbells beyond the stars.."

Amsterdam Oude Kerk, slap bang in the middle of the red light district right behind our hostel. Go Christianity. The bells drove us mad every half hour.

 

I've not tried this type of long exposure in ages, it's a bored photography staple and one I'm happy I did!

 

.."The six-days'-world transposing in an hour,

A kind of tune, which all things hear and fear;

Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss,

Exalted manna, gladness of the best,

Heaven in ordinary, man well dressed,

The milky way, the bird of Paradise,

Church bells beyond the stars heard, the soul's blood,

The land of spices, something understood..."

 

George Herbert - The Prayer
