Florida Nature Pictures
South Florida Nature Trails

Here starts the Flagler Quarry.
These are tall walls of Fossilized Coral Reef.
This is the stone that was Quarried to make landfill for the Railroad.

Here are some close ups so you can see the details.
Seems like such a waste for landfill!
Luckily in the 60's this material was developed into what they called Keystone.
This would be used to line walls and buildings for decorative use.
They can be seen in Vizcaya and other buildings around South Florida.

Here are more pictures of the walls left after all the cutting.

   
Just a great place to sit and relax and hear the birds chirping!

    
The erea becomes a bit more bumpy to walk through.
You really have to watch where you are going.
A drop here looks painful!
