Another sky view of the Bok Tower Carrilon


Bok Tower Grove of Live Oaks With Spanish Moss. This is the highest point in the state of Florida .From here you can see the greater Orlando metro area.You need to walk to the edge of this plateau of live oaks to get a view of Orlando.This is quiet and serene place.
A lake reflecting the sky and the Bok Tower Carrilon

White swans are in the water and the palm trees and sky are in reflection.

The very top of the Bok Tower Carrilon that was designed in art deco style by Mr. Bok who wanted to create this massive carrilon that gets played every day of the year. Jack and I got to listen to Christmas carols being played by the carrilon. Magical and magnificent moment!

Little sky in this photo but I wanted you to see the beautiful gold doors that lead to the inside of the carrilon. Only volunteers get to go inside. Some volunteers do work just to get a glimps of the inside and the view of Orlando from the very top of the tower.

Hope you enjoyed my Bok Tower Tour. If you want more info on the Bok Tower, you can go here with a click: http://boksanctuary.org/
