Florida Coquina

Black And White Photography, C.S. Young Jr., Photography

Coquina is a sedimentary rock composed mostly of seashell material which becomes cemented over time. I found this sample serving as a wall on St George Street in St Augustine, Florida. My post last week featured the Castillo de San Marcos fort, which was originally constructed out of coquina.

Fort builders favored conquina stonework because of its ability to absorb cannonball impacts. In fact, often an embedded cannonball was recovered and then fired back at attacking forces. For the best viewing experience, click to view a high-resolution version.

Boneyard Beach is a photographer’s paradise, it’s an unusual stretch of coastline along the Nassau Sound in Big Talbot Island State Park just northeast of Jacksonville, Florida. Famous for its 30-foot bluffs and massive, bleached skeleton driftwood trees scattered across the sand.

Bagdad Post Office – In remembrance of Don Simmons

Black And White Photography, Don, Photography

This little shed was the post office for the small hamlet of Bagdad, Florida from 1913 to 1985. My brother and his wife lived in Bagdad in the mid-1950s when he was in flight training with the U.S. Navy. After taking this photo I sent it to my brother but, alas, his health did not allow him to remember the tiny post office.
