Florida limestone

The previous post is a close-up of a limestone rock, very common in this part of Florida. Limestone is the fossilized and calcified remains of sea creatures. As you can see in this photo, it is used decoratively on a golf course. It is used also in home construction.

There's more information on limestone in this article on Florida geology. Please check out the section on the Ocala Uplift.

Chairlift - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

For a price, you can ride this chair lift. If you so desire. The photo was taken last summer. I have a feeling the area might be covered in snow at the present time.
