St Paul’s Cathedral Bells and massive reverb from glass-fronted financial district buildings

St Paul’s Cathedral is only a stone’s throw from the tall glass-faced buildings of London’s financial district. I was sitting in the gardens ot the cathedral, and the bells sounded really odd, as if there was an organist following on after then about 2 seconds late. This must be the echo coming from the glass-fronted buildings about 0,5km away, it does nothing for the tone

  1. Nice capture. Studies have shown that the sound of bells is disappearing under the din of modern city life, but here they are bouncing right back at you.
