What a great pic!  Where are they located, on a church?

Andrea,  Thank you.  San Miguel is such a picturesque town and has lots of awesome sights including these bells.

Silvia,  I'm glad that you stopped by.  I didn't hear these bells, but at the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel in San Miguel -- they really sound great.

Judi,  Thank you.  I must have been typing my comment as yours came through.  These bells are in

San Miguel de Allende, México and I think it was a church.  I'm glad you like the photo.

I find California real estate to be interesting. I couldn't imagine doing real estate in another country.

That's neat, Gary.  My hometown of Riverside CA is well known for their bells, too.

Jim,  Isn't California a different country?  LOL      Actually, I am happy with real estate anywhere -- but saw the need for foreigners who buy or sell property in a country which is not their home.  I guess that I better get busy with a series of posts explaining my concept and how it works.  Thanks for stopping by.

Heather,  Thank you.  I like Riverside, but didn't know about their bells.

Tony & Darcy,  Thank you.  I always enjoy the old churches and cathedrals.  And I have enjoyed the new churches that you have been posting in your blog.

Definately Mission Bells!   All the kids in 4th grade get to visit the Mission's here in Riverside County and there are many scenic bell towers similar to this.

What a wonderful old church! I love the character...Is it still used? Or abandoned?

Jane,  Thanks for your answer, because I didn't know.  Now, I think I remember some one making a comment about a mission.

Debi,  Thank you.  I have to admit that I didn't notice if it was still being used -- I was too busy with my camera.

What a great photo.  I love old churches especially the ones in Mexico.  I need a margarita right now.

Oops,  I am really slow in responding to your comments, but I want you to know that they mean a lot to me.  Thank you all.

Debra, Thank you.  I held off on answering because I thought I would remember -- but I can't,  I took several hundred photos that day and it is a little bit of a blur.


Diane, I like all old buildings form the ones that survive to the ruins.  I think the churches are usually my favorites.


Carol, Thank you.  Mexico has some great churches.  I would also love a margarita.You should read the post by Evelyn Bruder:
