CARILLON AT GRACE CATHEDRAL BELL TOWER IN SAN FRANCISCO .

IN ADDITION, A SERIES OF CLOSE UPS TAKEN FROM A RENDERING OF A MAP OF THE WORLD FROM ANCIENT TIMES DEPICTING THE VARIOUS CLUTLURES AND LIFESTYLES FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

Grace Cathedral's bell carillon was the gift of Dr. Nathaniel Couson (1853-1945) a British born orphan and seaman. He gave his fortune to build the north or "Singing Tower" of the cathedral and to supply it with a carillon of 44 bronze bells from the Gillet and Johnston bell foundry in Coulson, England.
