AND engineers!! 
May not have been known as engineers back then. In fact architects may not have been know as architects either. Seems to me somewhere back (way back) in some educational activity, I recall they were consider and called "Master Builders". And of course the "Architects" have claimed it as their origin. But, what can I say, as an engineer, and some work in the general contracting, and subcontracting arenas...….no sour grapes here. After all they hired us.

The last image looks like "coquina," which is common in the Caribbean and Florida.
("Coquina (/koʊˈkiːnə/) is a sedimentary rock that is composed either wholly or
almost entirely of the transported, abraded, and mechanically-sorted fragments
of the shells of molluscs, trilobites, brachiopods, or other invertebrates.") - Wikipedia

Nice set Tim. It's estimated that for every 3 soldiers that died in battle 5 died from disease. The leading cause.........diarrhea.
Thanks for the kind comment, Steve, and I'm glad you enjoyed,
and you taught me something I didn't know...thanks!

Inspired by a certain episode of Doctor Who, I've tried to find Weeping Angels every time we've been in Scotland. Haven't had any success, but have seen some impressive graveyard statuary.
pg. 12 - Sue, thank you for sharing these incredible statuaries...I
don't think I've ever seen such elaborate ones as these.
