1. Title: "Anton Brees Playing the Sanctuary Bells at the Singing Tower, Lake Wales, Florida, USA (circa 1930s)" 2. Description: This photograph captures the enchanting moment when renowned musician Anton Brees gracefully plays the Sanctuary Bells at the iconic Singing Tower in Lake Wales, Florida, USA. Built in the 1930s, the Singing Tower is a magnificent structure located within the Bok Tower Gardens, a beautiful botanical garden and National Historic Landmark. 3. Context: Anton Brees, an accomplished musician and campanologist, is shown seated at the bell bench, intently focusing on the intricate levers and stops in front of him. The Sanctuary Bells, a carillon consisting of 60 bronze bells, are suspended above him, their resonant tones echoing throughout the tranquil gardens below. 4. Setting: The setting is serene and picturesque, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers surrounding the Singing Tower. The clear blue sky is dotted with fluffy clouds, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The reflection of the tower and the bells in the calm waters of Bok Mountain Lake further enhances the scene's ethereal beauty. 5. Historical Significance: The Singing Tower and its carillon hold significant historical importance. They were a gift from Edward W. Bok, a Dutch-American publisher, to the people of Florida as a symbol of peace and unity. The carillon was dedicated on February 1, 1931, and has since been a beloved attraction for visitors from all around the world. 6.
