Went hiking at Bull Run Mountain with my daughter yesterday. Saw my first wild box turtle. He had retreated into his shell before I spotted him. I was tempted to pick him up and check him out, but decided not to bug him beyond taking a picture or two.

This bandstand is located in Eldorado Springs, Missouri. It is in the town square, and the park in which it is located surrounds the eponymous springs. The gazebo is made up of native stone and also some clearly non-native rocks and crystals. It is a fascinating thing to look at up close.

Here's a couple of closeups showing a very small number of interesting inclusions.

great shots Jinx! I knew you took pictures but didn't know how good you were. You are either perfecting your craft or have kept it hidden

Elspode · 08-03-2008, 11:19 AM

...and a couple more. One shows a very iron rich stone of some sort, the other one of many examples of petrified wood that are included in the structure. These in particular did *not* come from around here.

The bandstand was built in the early 30's, I believe.

A great use of some very awesome rock formations.

It would be interesting to find out the story behind those inclusions. Stuff the masons had collected over the years? Contributions from the community? Planned acquisitions?
