Bell tower on Cathedral Square

Hello, my friends.

This is my application for the contest Reflection Hunters Contest - Round 40 from @annephilbrick


@annephilbrick, why haven't I shown you reflections for a whole month?
I can't even tell the reason for the absence of my posts with reflections. Although it was this reflection that I found more than a month ago.



This is the bell tower in the central square of our city. This is one of the symbols of our small town. For many years, the bell tower stood without repair and showed all the devastation of our city with its whole appearance. This year it was restored, brought to a divine appearance. Now it's not even a shame to photograph it and show it to your friends. And not just friends.



This structure began to be built in early 1822 as a Triumphal Arch in honor of the 10th anniversary of the Patriotic War with the Army of Napoleon. In 1851, the work hours of the Sloboda master Vasily Ivanovich Rysev were built into the bell tower. These clocks have been working for more than a century and a half, and to this day their chimes melodiously beat off the bell at the appointed hour.



In fact, in our city, you can find quite a lot of different artifacts and historical objects. But this bell tower occupies a central place among all these interesting places and objects.
This bell tower was lucky that it was not destroyed by the Bolshevik Communists at a time when all religious buildings were destroyed in Russia, and this bell tower was part of a large cathedral..



I will say that I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Now our land and the area are covered with snow and now until the spring, it will be impossible to see any reflection on the water surface. Well, only if there is no big snow melting in winter.
