Solomon's Castle

Description

This eccentric residence is a place that nearly defies description, near the small Florida town of Ona. The artist/owner, Solomon (the brochure says "not THAT Solomon"), has created his "castle" and his art from things discarded by others. The castle's outer walls are covered by old printer's plates (on their backs is etched text from the original printing runs). The reclaimed suits of armor that guard the door are named Knight, and, of course Day.

Well captured, and I love the story of it being made of re-cycled items. #11689365
