Whale chimes? As unique as your composition, Sandy!

Dewdrop said...

How interesting! I have considered getting up a collection of wind chimes like in the movie Twister, but it seems like it might be a nuisance to the neighbors. Music to my ears though. Great shot.

Fascinating! Great capture for the Sky Watch.

Julie said...

Artistic vision is a wonderful thing, Sandy. It must be very relaxing - that alone engrossing - to sit and listen to these chimes.

Speaking of artistic vision: I hope to join in your poetry blog this coming week. I only discovered it yesterday. Am a bit challenged by the first topic of faces but shall do my best.

Jim said...

Hi Sandy. Your sky is pretty, I need some chimes like that to compete with the neighbors.' I'd rather they were silent (sound pollution). :-)
