A very intriguing photograph!
Interesting Art-i-Fact for July
What are the images that make you think of
Florida? Palm trees, beaches, and naturally, golf
courses immediately come to mind. How about
coquina? Thanks to those abundant beaches,
coquina has been used as a building stone in Florida
for over 400 years. The most famous architectural
structure built of coquina is the fort in St. Augustine,
the Castillo de San Marcos. Coquina is composed of
seashells or coral, that are abraded and broken up by
the tides and currents and eventually become
sedimentary rock which is then quarried or
mined. The stone made a very good building material
for forts, particularly those constructed during the
periods of heavy cannon use. Because of coquina's
softness, cannonballs would sink into, rather than
shatter or puncture, the fortress walls. Not a building
material you will find in, say, Kansas!
