A Bell in B&W · 05:43 PM

Here's a B&W conversions of a bell (circa 1835) located on an outbuilding of a plantation. I have no idea how it was used.

Nice shot Jer.
No Idea why a bell would be there, could have been for signalling when to stop work or something like that.

Indeed nice conversion - perhpas was to announce Miller time

Could well've been. It just occured to me that this bell is on the outbuilding kitchen - perhaps it called folks to meals.

Simple and effective composition.

Jer, the texture works in favor to render a touch of nostalgia

Thanks, my friend. I'm happy with the way this one turned out, as well.

Nice composition and B&W conversion. I like the way the light accentuates the stucco(?) texture which nicely frames the smooth bell.

Very nice image Jer. B&W works well on this one. JIM

I appreciate it, Scott. And it is stucco - applied in the early 20th Century long after the house was built (1830's) if memory serves.
