@☺ ► ƸɼiϾ ◄ ☼: That song will stay in my head all day, now like they do. Mind you, it's been there since 1979 ! (Ronnie)
DULCIE from Danville, CA, United States
You see, Lilly's practical-minded. Just push a button, Ronnie...choose one.
I'd choose the one on the upper left, and see if you hear a lion roar !!

@DULCIE: Isn't that lion bell a beauty ? I was sorely tempted to give it a try in the shoot ! Thanks, Dulcie and have a lovely day. (Ronnie)
Vaido from Võrumaa, Estonia
Well, that's a difficult situation... Maybe you better knock :)

How about the lion one? I have never seen that one!
1 Sep 2011 7:14am
@tyan: Cool, huh ? I like that one. (Ronnie)
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
There is a bell for every status. Not the same for parking. In other words, some are more equal.

@António Pires: This is very true!! Great comment! (from Lilly)
Nitin from Shanghai, China
Love the high quality, super clear and rich gaudy images in the picture. Super picture!

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Well that presses all the buttons and chimes in with my thinking. Ram a lam a ding dong, I got the bell bottom blues

El pare from Prepirineu, Andorra
To be sure, I'd press on the four ring at the same time. Success is guaranteed.

Oh Lily ... sometimes you really give Ronnie a hard time. Ronnie push all of them - it would be quite fun ^^
1 Sep 2011 12:05pm
@kitty: I have to keep him on his toes!! (from Lilly)
Stephen from Canberra, Australia
Ronnie - the one in the top right looks like an eye that has you under surveillance. Hurry up and push one of the other buttons!

For some reason the old line from the Rowan & Martin Laugh In show ``ring my chimes`` jumped into my mind! A wonderful flashback! Well seen and captured! ;-)

Perhaps the one on the lower right would be for me...I have a feeling pressing that one would result in the playing of "I wanna Marry You Bill" by the Fifth Dimension.......Not that I want to marry Bill, please understand, it's just a referential remark...sort of like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," or "Bats in the Belfry"(sic) I better stop now while I'm behind!

PS - er, that would be "Wedding Bell Blues" wouldn't it?....Please just delete all of my comments for today...sorry!

I would want to ring all these bells, just love them
1 Sep 2011 12:46pm
@Christine: . . ring-a-ding-ding !
hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
Ha ha... "You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell; you can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell..." What an amazing find!!! This is utterly intriguing but also full of fun!:-) Well, I'm a conservative guy, so I'll just choose to "press"!

Loukas from Ilioupolis, Greece
Seems complicated and this strange lion (?) seems very sad! In any case, really nice as always

Michael Fresh from Chester, United Kingdom
Oh dear I can never make my mind up, this one or that one, what happens if it's the wrong one, I could be arrested. Guess I'll take a taxi to be safe. Thanks for the dilemma !
1 Sep 2011 6:29pm
@Richard Geven: Yes, that would be the shortest circuit ! (Electric Ronnie)

Ding-dong! But what's a "bell staff" anyway - is this a hotel staff thing?
1 Sep 2011 7:45pm
Crash from Weehawken,NJ and NYC, United States
the bell staff has a nice collection of ringers!!!

Elaine Hancock from Rockville, United States
They definitely need a bell staff with all those buzzers. My favorite is the lion. Beautiful detail and clarity. This is great!
1 Sep 2011 10:41pm
@Elaine Hancock: Yes, that lion bell-push is a treasure. Have a lovely weekend, Elaine and thanks for the Comments. (Lilly and Ronnie)
PRASHANT from Mumbai, India
Interesting collection....never saw such beautiful switches...thanks for sharing.

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom
Amazing scene you've found here, clearly the fact that the bays have not been marked is causing confusion. The absence of double yellow lines must also confound.
2 Sep 2011 9:39am
@Curly: You are right there on both counts, Curly. I must remember that when I'm up before the Beak. (Ronnie 237149 )
Julie L. Brown from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
The other bells are just supporting players next to the lion bell.
2 Sep 2011 9:53am
@Julie L. Brown: Yes, isn't that a beauty ?! I asked the owner if she was worried it might get stolen and she have me a l o n g look - presumably so she could give the police a good description . . lol . . (No Name Given)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
I'm not sure about the words :) I'll ring and ask!

marci from in, Morocco
love the lion bell! with all the comments, he's clearly the star of the show
2 Sep 2011 10:42am
@marci: Isn't it a beauty ? I was tempted to press it and see if it roared ! (Ronnie)
Melissa from Deep South Texas, United States
I would choose the lion bell myself.

A delightful collection of bells! Difficult to choose on which to build. Good day.

Nice. Well, those bells certainly found the right place to park on that wall!

Sam from Chennai, India
Beautiful composition. Wonderful collection of bells. Lion bell would be a better choice, Ronnie. :)

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Love the warm colors and reflections off those brass doorbells. Somehow I am reminded of Anita Ward's song from the late 1970's. ;-)
2 Sep 2011 5:35pm
@Steven: I don't like to admit it but that song still sounds pretty good to me, Steven ! (Ronnie)
Laurent from not far from Lyon, France
what a lovely bell'scollection. Does each play a different note? It would be funny to play a bell score.

Anita from West Nottingham, Pennsylvania, United States
This is one of your images which looks like it was originally one image, not two images put together. That was one of the magical qualities that first attracted me to Our Two Sense--sort of like those optical illusions in which now you see a profile, now two vases. Especially love those gorgeous doorbells, nothing like the plastic one I have.

Christel from Köln, Germany
Good evening, Lilly and Ronnie
a good sign for the doorbell buttons. The lion's head is very valuable. This bell would have to shout loudly at the press. It would be frighteningly funny. The bell, right, looks like a speaker. It reminds me of the song ring my bell, Anita Word. I own this LP for many years. The doorbell button, bottom left, looks like a golf ball. There is caution in the press. It could fly hidden golf balls around the ears. The doorbell button, bottom right
looks, indefinable. It is the surprise effect bell. Let yourself be surprised. It stimulated my imagination, if the sign would not exist. I wonder why so many different doorbells? Everything has a sense or nonsense in life.
Have a nice time, all the best and health. Dear greetings from Christel

@Christel: We have missed your forensic analysis, Christel, and it is nice to have you back among us ! (L&R)

Rick from Toronto, Canada
"Press" is just too obvious, so I hope you didn't go for that one first!
3 Sep 2011 4:18pm
@Rick: I went for the one set in the wall and painted around - less chance of that being 'fake', I thought ! (Cautious Ronnie)
Photographs by M.E. from San Francisco, United States
choices, choices, choices - which one do we press first! this is ASTOUNDING!
3 Sep 2011 10:57pm
@Photographs by M.E.: Those bells do have a set of good looks, must admit. (Ronnie)
