The big Buddhist bell at the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xian. The chime was every bit as impressive as the size would suggest. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone. UPDATE: I've found a youtube link to a similar bell, so you can listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-CsvjXWYH8 SECOND UPDATE Tanja - Loughcrew has turned up a link to a video of this very bell : www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pCLWz4uKkM Explored.

In my previous image (see note) I gave some indication of what MONA is about, and how it is possible to store and retrieve online a record of one's visit and what was seen. This photo was taken from immediately below the previous image, at the lower level, and gives more of a view of the trampoline and bell. I have retrieved the following information on this artwork from my MONA virtual tour record: Danser la musique 2000–9 Chen Zhen. Installation of steel, iron, nylon, hemp, cannon shells, bullet shells, Buddhist bells, edition 1/3 Courtesy of Galerie Guy Bärtschi, Geneva Born 1955, Shanghai, China; emigrated in 1986 to Paris, France; died 2000 in Paris So feel free to virtually leap on the trampoline and make the bell ring. :)

It must be said that, in Australia at least, there are few job vacancies for Town Criers. But about two years ago, Alan found himself cast in that role. And I'd say it's one he thoroughly relishes. After seeing the position advertised he went for auditions and was an instant hit. So he was appointed by the Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory as the official ACT Town Crier. He is a member of the Ancient and Honourable Guild of Australian Town Criers and also of the Australian Society for Creative Anachronism. Being probably the only Town Crier in the region, Alan told me that he is in demand most weekends for community events, not only in the ACT but also in neighbouring towns and villages such as Braidwood and Michelago, where I found him at the May Fair. For a fee, he also provides his services at weddings. It was great seeing you and work and meeting you Alan, thank you for your time and I hope you like the photos. This picture is 15 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
