Today was such a nice day that I decided I would go out and do some photography. Perth hasn’t got any large scale attractions so today I decided to take some photos of the Swan Bell Tower. The Bell Tower to most Perthians is just… a tower with bells in it… I personally haven’t visited the inside of the tower, but from the outside it is quite an architectural marvel. The tower is an abstract form of a ship with large copper sails wrapping the entire buillding and the tower forming the main mast.

Commemorating Australia’s bicentenary in 1988, the twelve bells of St Martin-in-the-Fields as well as five specially cast bells were presented to the University of Western Australia, the City of Perth and to the people of Western Australia. These bells are housed in the tower and on special occasions the City echoes with the musical chiming of the bells…

Feel free to check out the Landscapes gallery to see the rest of my photos of the Swan Bell Tower… as always your feedback is appreciated!
