Yes,   but I do wonder if that one is a tad boring -  https://www.islandecho.co.uk/time-and-tide-bell-to-be-installed-on-ventnor-esplanade/

Hmn. If the residents really don't like it then you can foresee sabotage further down the line.
I note that there are now 16 planned, in total, in a footnote to that article.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Apparently, there will eventually be 16 of these things dotted around the UK coastline.

Interesting as the signage I posted was only for 13,   I need to see if the "artist" has a website.

We passed through the outskirts of Ventnor last year - an opportunity missed

13 total and one is scotland

This is the footnote from the link you sent me:

A new application would then need to be made to make it permanent or it would have to be removed. The sculpture is made of marine bronze on a supporting structure of steel and will be one of 16 bells installed across the UK.

How's your weather this morning?  I saw where DA posted it got super cold and he had some pea sized hail at his location.  

DAFlys Posted at 2-24 01:33
The one we saw is being moved by the tide when storm weather hits which would no doubt wreck the idea.

I wonder if that was taken into account during the planning stage?

Lovely morning, but I had a lie-in and missed the frosty start.
Hail for ten minutes on Thursday evening - disappeared overnight.

Sounds like you had much better weather than DA.  Nice to see the mostly clear sky in that shot.  

P.S.  Nothing wrong with an occasional lie-in.

I'm starting to like them though - not a good sign

DAFlys Posted at 2-24 01:34
No probs Charles,   I lke to include back story when I have it.

It was a good one.

A neat concept for the bell, a curious picture and a great background story to follow up as well. Nice one

Just uploading to SKYPIXEL.
From my visit to Cemaes Bay in November 2022.
The bell isn't very loud - turn your sound right up

Nice to see - and hear - one in action. Thanks for sharing

16 bells,   that just adds some more mystery.

I'd just blame that on the balmy weather.  You'll perk up once Spring and Summer roll around and you get out for your regular walks.

Still a few more to be discovered.

I need to drag myself out of the winter rut

I'm sure you're not alone in that.  I remember the winters when I was stationed in the northeastern US.  All I really wanted to do was hibernate and wake up for the summer.    I guess I would have made a great bear.

Do you remember this line from that old cartoon?  

“It’s Spring, Boo Boo! It’s Spring! Yippee!”

Not specifically, no. But I echo the sentiment

    I used to like watching that cartoon on Saturday mornings.  However, I had to get up early and get all the farm chores done before I was allowed to watch TV.

We had no TV until I was about 12

No doubt it was a black and white picture and not colored.

Yes, and only the one channel BBC.

Blériot53 Posted at 2-26 05:23
Yes, and only the one channel BBC.

On my first tour at the American Embassy in London I remember only having two TV stations - ITV and BBC1.  No doubt there are hundreds of stations now.  

Yes, this is the one

Nice capture!
