Coral Castle - Homestead FL

The Coral Castle was built by one man, working alone. It took him 20 years to build - from 1920 to 1940. Carved and sculpted from 1100 tons of coral, this monument was built out of Edward Leedskalnin's obsessed love for a young girl. The mystery remains since Coral Castle's opening in 1923; how could Ed, 5 ft tall and 100 lbs., have carved and moved over 1100 tons of rock without any human help?

This is great to see your images from this castle...I have seen on the travel channel but it's cool to see first hand from your gallery.
