Once upon a time, in a place far far away…
there was a sheer mountain…
…and on top of the mountain was a magical singing tower…
…inside the tower were piles of magificant treasure!
O.k. it was not so long ago. It is not so far away especially if you live in Florida.
The mountain wasn’t so sheer. Yes we do have a mountain in Florida (well sort of)
And the singing tower is the treasure itself! Even the surrounding garden is inspiring.
It is one of those hidden treasures that for those of us in Florida is in our own back yard. I have met so many people that will save up for five years to go see some monument in Europe but have have not seen this magnificent piece of architecture right here. It reminds me of that story Acres of Diamonds. The man searched the world over for treasure when it was on his own farm the whole time.
If you like reading biographies of the ultra-suuccessful Edward Bok is certainly worth studying. Bok tower is worth seeing. It is one of the magical places that bring you back to when you were a kid and you still believed in magic, princesses and all those wonderful things. It is right outside of Lake Whales FL. The picture of the tower is a link to the website if you want to look into it more.
P.S. Remember the hidden treasures in your back yard.
