RINGING THE LIBERTY BELL

Yes, these photos are of my children and they were taken in Philadelphia and they are ringing the Liberty Bell - but it is not the original one but the Normandy Liberty Bell at the National Constitution Center.  This is an exact replica of the Liberty Bell tuned to the same E-flat note that the original one made before it cracked.

This Liberty Bell was created to coincide with the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day invasions.  This bell was first rung on June 6, 2004 on the shores of Normandy.   If was first rung in the United States on July 4, 2005.  It was rung by my children also in July 2005.


To create this layout I used a sketch from StuckonUsketches as my inspiration.  This was the sketch:
