About 2 miles south down the beach from our place is a massive slate rock formation. Approaching it from the north, it looks like a beached submarine. On closer inspection we were enthralled, consumed and amazed by the natural beauty, color, texture and intrinsic design of this work of nature. As builders over the years, natural stone has become one of our favorite building elements. So as you can see, we have gone alittle overboard on our slate photos. We have been scheming on how we could possibly mine this material in slabs to use in multiple surfaces in our dream home, but is just wishful thinking. It’s one thing to see pieces of beautiful cut stone and quite another to walk on massive natural slabs in “the wild.” Somehow this collection of photos just doesn’t do justice to the real thing, however it’s the best we can do.
