The highlight of today was climbing the bell tower in Santo Domingo de la Calzada
The base of the tower is a clock museum. which has many displays
Half way up the tower the actual clock mechanism is visible – it looks just like many of the museum pieces – you see the ropes for the weight mechanisms ( big rocks) handing through the floor
The top of the tower provides a great 360 panoramic view of the surrounding area
There are also many bells at the top of the tower – each with their own name plate and description
This is a close up of a name plate
The scenery was similar to the previous days
Great pics of the way…. And some interesting church bell tower history. In my experience – bell ringers and bell towers are most fascinating people and places – unique and very attached to their remarkable art of bell ringing!
Been good to see the pics and get into following your journey…. The pics of the day, the sun rising and setting and the moon are a wonderful parable of the nature of your present life as daily pilgrims!
