Seashell Masonry

One of my favorite things about the stonework you find all throughout the islands (this shot in particular was from this past weekend in Tortola), is how the masons incorporate seashells into the facade.  I have to imagine that originally this was done for lack of appropriate rocks (and abundance of seashells), but I believe today it is a much more aesthetic touch.  Either way, I like it!
