Title : Las Bola

Literally translated as the ball, this is some very unique stone architecture undoubtedly inspired by its Costa Rican cousins. Found these in an unassuming garden on Palm Beach Island in South Florida made completely of coral rock. Captured at this angle and scale, it could easily represent a temple to the gods, while in reality no more than 4 feet high.

The stone spheres (or stone balls) of Costa Rica are an assortment of over three hundred petrospheres in Costa Rica, located on the Diquís Delta and on Isla del Caño. Locally, they are known as Las Bolas (literally The Balls). The spheres are commonly attributed to the extinct Diquís culture and are sometimes referred to as the Diquís Spheres. They are the best-known stone sculptures of the Isthmo-Colombian area. They are thought to have been placed in lines along the approach to the houses of chiefs, but their exact significance remains uncertain.
